The Naked Gun 2 1/2: The Smell of Fear (1991) 77% EDIT “Much of what follows is nearly on a par with the first Naked Gun... But some of the fun has leaked out this time.” – L.A. Weekly Jul 23, 2025 Full Review Goodfellas (1990) 93% EDIT “All that's on the screen is a showy, humorless vaunting of directorial technique, and misplaced technique at that. Scorsese sets up the material as comedy, but he seems to consider it beneath him to let viewers find any of it funny. ” – L.A. Weekly Oct 18, 2023 Full Review White Men Can't Jump (1992) 75% EDIT “It's rare for a Hollywood talent to be so sunny-minded yet intelligent; Shelton has better taste in what he enjoys about this country than anyone since Walt Kelly.” – L.A. Weekly Aug 31, 2023 Full Review A Dry White Season (1989) 82% EDIT “Palcy's narrative drive and the phenomenal editing (by Sam O'Steen and Glenn Cunningham) make the story so kinetic that we accept its simplifications. A Dry White Season may wear its heart on its sleeve, but at least its pulse races.” – L.A. Weekly Jan 4, 2023 Full Review Captain Phillips (2013) 93% EDIT “As successful as Greengrass's approach is overall, it does have its frustrations.” – GQ Dec 5, 2016 Full Review Gone Girl (2014) 88% EDIT “I'm not sure any other director has used Affleck this well.” – GQ Nov 9, 2016 Full Review Wild (2014) 88% EDIT “Wild's basic intelligence and craft, starting with Witherspoon's own performance, keep the movie watchable.” – GQ Apr 26, 2016 Full Review Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) (2014) 91% EDIT “That leaves Keaton to generate pretty much the movie's full quota of human simpatico unassisted. That he pulls it off shouldn't change your opinion of whether it was worth doing, but not many actors are this captivating.” – GQ Feb 22, 2016 Full Review Spectre (2015) 63% EDIT “This time around, the affectations of depth are often just tedious. But to a surprising extent, a lot of the thrill-ride stuff is pretty lackluster too.” – GQ Nov 5, 2015 Full Review Steve Jobs (2015) 85% EDIT “Call me a heretic, but a movie that tells us to admire a marketing genius as ego-driven and hard-nosed as Jobs for his spiritual example will never be my cup of tea.” – GQ Oct 15, 2015 Full Review
