Love and Death (1975) 100% 4/5 EDIT “Technically, the film is one of Allen's most accomplished, handsomely filmed in Hungary and France by Ghislain Cloquet, which helps make the hysterical anachronistic sight gags stand out even more.” – TV Guide May 23, 2019 Full Review Images (1972) 71% 3/4 EDIT “Stylistically controlled and tightly structured, Altman restrains his usual improvisatory technique and open-ended shooting style to produce a riveting intellectual puzzler as well as a penetrating character study of a woman who's slowly losing her grip.” – TV Guide Jan 14, 2019 Full Review Cadet Kelly (2002) 3/5 EDIT “Wholesome Hilary Duff movie has simple, positive messages.” – Common Sense Media May 23, 2013 Full Review Zeus and Roxanne (1997) 33% 2/5 EDIT “Predictable and utterly unoriginal.” – Common Sense Media Jan 2, 2011 Full Review Tom Sawyer (2000) 4/5 EDIT “A song-filled family adventure.” – Common Sense Media Jan 2, 2011 Full Review The Secret of NIMH (1982) 93% 4/5 EDIT “Fascinating. But sensitive animal-lovers beware.” – Common Sense Media Jan 2, 2011 Full Review The Nutty Professor (1996) 63% 1/5 EDIT “A dumb, offensive movie--a good one to skip.” – Common Sense Media Jan 2, 2011 Full Review The Jungle Book (1967) 88% 5/5 EDIT “Jaunty animation meets jazzy songs in Disney classic.” – Common Sense Media Jan 2, 2011 Full Review The Brave Little Toaster Goes to Mars (1998) 50% 4/5 EDIT “An amusing but dumbed-down kids' cartoon.” – Common Sense Media Jan 2, 2011 Full Review That Darn Cat (1997) 13% 3/5 EDIT “Obviously designed for cynical modern teens.” – Common Sense Media Jan 2, 2011 Full Review That Darn Cat! (1965) 94% 5/5 EDIT “Amusing but long romp for both adults and kids.” – Common Sense Media Jan 2, 2011 Full Review Inspector Gadget (1999) 20% 2/5 EDIT “Not nearly as good as the TV show.” – Common Sense Media Jan 2, 2011 Full Review Forrest Gump (1994) 75% 5/5 EDIT “Moving and wonderful, but parent preview a good idea.” – Common Sense Media Jan 2, 2011 Full Review Annie (1999) 4/5 EDIT “A tuneful, joyous musical for the family.” – Common Sense Media Jan 2, 2011 Full Review An Extremely Goofy Movie (2000) 63% 3/5 EDIT “Much juvenile humor and tongue-in-cheek.” – Common Sense Media Jan 2, 2011 Full Review An American Tail: The Mystery of the Night Monster (2000) 4/5 EDIT “A mystery with spunk, courage and heart.” – Common Sense Media Jan 2, 2011 Full Review Air Bud: World Pup (2000) 4/5 EDIT “Wholesome and endearing dog movie.” – Common Sense Media Jan 2, 2011 Full Review Cinderella (1950) 95% 4/4 EDIT “Excellent animation, marvelous color, and lovely music make Cinderella a delight all the way around.” – TV Guide Sep 3, 2008 Full Review Lady and the Tramp (1955) 91% 4/4 EDIT “[It made] more money than any other film from the 1950s except The Ten Commandments and Ben-Hur.” – TV Guide Sep 1, 2008 Full Review The Big Chill (1983) 69% 2.5/4 EDIT “Strong acting and a string of classic rock and soul tunes make up for a superficial script.” – TV Guide May 5, 2008 Full Review Charly (1968) 55% 2.5/4 EDIT “The film's main problem is that director Ralph Nelson virtually ignores the philosophical elements of the story and emphasizes its most maudlin aspects, while throwing in a little sci-fi, romance, and spurious social commentary.” – TV Guide Jun 6, 2007 Full Review Alien (1979) 93% 4/4 EDIT “There's nothing terribly complex or original about the movie, but it is distinguished by its clever and innovative use of B-movie staples in a hi-tech setting.” – TV Guide Jun 4, 2007 Full Review Beneath the Planet of the Apes (1970) 37% 2.5/5 EDIT “[A] quickie follow-up that vainly tries to imitate the look of the original on an obviously limited budget, and for the most part, eschews the philosophical, social, and racial subtext of the first film in favor of straightforward shoot-em-up.” – TV Guide Jun 4, 2007 Full Review Battle for the Planet of the Apes (1973) 33% 2/4 EDIT “Aside from Severn Darden, who relishes his lip-smacking heavy character, the cast seems disinterested; even series stalwart Roddy McDowall looks bored.” – TV Guide Jun 4, 2007 Full Review Stalker (1979) 100% 3.5/4 EDIT “[It] has enough hauntingly beautiful images and profound ideas to linger in one's mind.” – TV Guide May 30, 2007 Full Review
