The American President (1995) 90% 3/4 EDIT “Despite having to work overtime to convince viewers that Douglas is not playing his usual Basic Instinct sleaze bag, "President" ultimately develops into breezy, simple-minded entertainment. ” – The Sun-Herald (Australia) Jan 21, 2026 Full Review A Few Good Men (1992) 85% 3/4 EDIT “This is an elegantly constructed, richly played drama which never makes the mistake of worshipping at its own pedestal. ” – The Sun-Herald (Australia) Jan 8, 2026 Full Review The Princess Bride (1987) 93% 3/4 EDIT “The Princess Bride is a winner, a high-spirited, delightful film that leaves you feeling wonderful.” – The Sun-Herald (Australia) Jan 7, 2026 Full Review When Harry Met Sally... (1989) 90% 3/5 EDIT “In the slickest way imaginable, this proves to be a cinematic meeting between the way life is and the way many of us would like to be. ” – The Sun-Herald (Australia) Jan 6, 2026 Full Review Hook (1991) 37% 2.5/4 EDIT “No matter how expensive, there are only so many rewards in staring at the lavish sets. The redeeming feature, and the one to keep most hanging in there, is a script which does deliver some marvellous one-liners.” – The Sun-Herald (Australia) Dec 19, 2025 Full Review Big Top Pee-wee (1988) 31% 2.5/4 EDIT “Big Top Pee-Wee offers enjoyable enough entertainment for the fans.” – The Sun-Herald (Australia) Dec 14, 2025 Full Review The Abyss (1989) 76% 2/4 EDIT “The Abyss offers a merely mildly entertaining story, limp characters and a finale which will prove too much for any self-respecting science fiction fan.” – The Sun-Herald (Australia) Dec 9, 2025 Full Review Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) 91% 3.5/4 EDIT “Stacked with special effects to make your jaw drop...this is a science fiction fan's dream, offering many of the genre's classic themes and concerns, but married to heartstopping big screen action which can only be described as "relentless."” – The Sun-Herald (Australia) Dec 9, 2025 Full Review The Running Man (1987) 59% 2.5/4 EDIT “The Running Man is a neatly executed movie.” – The Sun-Herald (Australia) Nov 6, 2025 Full Review Predator (1987) 64% 3/4 EDIT “While some convenient logic-bending goes on, McTiernan's tight direction and a number of suspenseful moments are guaranteed to make even hardened action buffs squeak with shock every now and again. ” – The Sun-Herald (Australia) Oct 31, 2025 Full Review Predator 2 (1990) 36% 3/4 EDIT “Despite dripping with cliches, Predator 2 delivers rollicking gungho, science fiction entertainment.” – The Sun-Herald (Australia) Oct 31, 2025 Full Review My Beautiful Laundrette (1985) 95% 2/4 EDIT “This neatly-scripted, sometimes uneven, film pulls no punches when it comes to looking at both sides of the racial fence. But there are nice touches of humor, notably from Jaffrey's... Uncle Nasser and Lewis's sensitive Johnny. ” – The Sun-Herald (Australia) Oct 10, 2025 Full Review Casper (1995) 59% 3/4 EDIT “With jokes about the "living-impaired," the ghost comedy Casper is a sure-fire hit wit pre-teens and up.” – The Sun-Herald (Australia) Sep 30, 2025 Full Review Boogie Nights (1997) 91% 7/10 EDIT “Sometimes the film feels like an overlong series of snapshots set to music... What glues it together are two great lead performances.” – The Sun-Herald (Australia) Sep 24, 2025 Full Review Darkman (1990) 80% 2.5/4 EDIT “Although he doesn't falter with a bigger budgeted, bigger scoped flick here, Raimi's off-beat methods of approaching the action -- compressing it, cutting abruptly between scenes -- keep emotion low and action high.” – The Sun-Herald (Australia) Aug 26, 2025 Full Review Mortal Kombat (1995) 44% 2.5/4 EDIT “With a fake techno-soundtrack and pulverisingly amplified special effects -- mostly of the thwack-grunt variety -- efficient "Mortal" presses the emotional buttons of its target viewers.” – The Sun-Herald (Australia) Aug 19, 2025 Full Review Pee-wee's Big Adventure (1985) 78% 3/4 EDIT “There are a lot of laughs in Pee-Wee's Big Adventure.” – The Sun-Herald (Australia) Jul 30, 2025 Full Review Waterworld (1995) 60% 2.5/4 EDIT “You can't dismiss the film's ambitions, Sci-fi movie fans especially will be impressed by its grungy recreation of life where, as inhabitants constantly note, "nothing is free in Waterworld."” – Sydney Morning Herald Jul 28, 2025 Full Review The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! (1988) 88% 2.5/4 EDIT “If you like -- or appreciate -- Nielsen, you'll enjoy The Naked Gun purely for its ability to showcase the veteran actor's formidable comedy talents.” – The Sun-Herald (Australia) Jul 24, 2025 Full Review Howling IV: The Original Nightmare (1988) 1/4 EDIT “Not a film designed to enhance the reputations of horror sequels in general.” – The Sun-Herald (Australia) Jul 23, 2025 Full Review The Naked Gun 2 1/2: The Smell of Fear (1991) 77% 3.5/4 EDIT “This is one sequel which lives up to fans' expectations. In fact, many viewers will feel that it's funnier.” – The Sun-Herald (Australia) Jul 22, 2025 Full Review DuckTales, the Movie: Treasure of the Lost Lamp (1990) 66% 3/4 EDIT “This is Walt Disney at its best: plenty of action, memorable characters and clean, good-humored fun.” – The Sun-Herald (Australia) Jul 17, 2025 Full Review Red Rock West (1993) 95% 3/4 EDIT “This is one smart thriller which uses its money wisely, divided between striking desert visuals, all endless-blue-sky-backed roads, and a punchy script which continuously fires off plot surprises.” – The Sun-Herald (Australia) Jul 15, 2025 Full Review Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1987) 16% 2/4 EDIT “Superman IV: Quest for Peace is not a total washout, but it is teeth-gnashingly average. ” – The Sun-Herald (Australia) Jul 2, 2025 Full Review Jurassic Park (1993) 91% 2.5/4 EDIT “Jurassic Park is state-of-the-art fast-food entertainment: all gimmicks, little story. The mind-blowing special effects and trendy-value of seeing the latest in computerised animation is worth the price of a ticket.” – The Sun-Herald (Australia) Jul 1, 2025 Full Review
