North (1994) 12% D EDIT “"North" is absolutely terrible.” – Santa Cruz Sentinel Jan 26, 2026 Full Review A Few Good Men (1992) 85% 5/5 EDIT “This is hardly traditional Christmas blockbuster material, but Reiner is able to guide his story of misguided honor and conduct with such skill that it's hard to imagine anyone who wouldn't get sucked into the drama. ” – Santa Cruz Sentinel Jan 8, 2026 Full Review Hook (1991) 37% 2/4 EDIT “Hook has nothing new to say. What is new is the clumsiness with which Spielberg delivers his message.” – Santa Cruz Sentinel Dec 19, 2025 Full Review True Lies (1994) 77% B+ EDIT “It's big, It's loud, it's spectacular, brassy and especially sassy.” – Santa Cruz Sentinel Dec 10, 2025 Full Review The Terminator (1984) 90% EDIT “Arnold's career has pretty much peaked with this production. It's doubtful that Arnold will ever again find a role so perfectly suited to his talents.” – Santa Cruz Sentinel Dec 8, 2025 Full Review Re-Animator (1985) 88% EDIT “There's no denying that this is a powerful, confident film filled with ideas and innovations. Unfortunately, all those ideas and innovations are so drenched in blood that they are virtually unwatchable.” – Santa Cruz Sentinel Oct 16, 2025 Full Review Casper (1995) 59% B EDIT “OK, OK, nothing makes much sense and the film turns into a study in contraptions and cliches toward the end, but so what? This is a movie for little Janie and Jake, not for snooty Uncle Paul.” – Santa Cruz Sentinel Oct 3, 2025 Full Review Mortal Kombat (1995) 44% D EDIT “It has no redeeming social or aesthetic value whatsoever, which will probably make it all the more attractive to its target audience.” – Santa Cruz Sentinel Aug 19, 2025 Full Review Waterworld (1995) 60% EDIT “For any fan of action, adventure and special effects, it's worth the price of a ticket. Miracle of miracles, this whale floats. ” – Santa Cruz Sentinel Jul 28, 2025 Full Review Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult (1994) 66% A EDIT “If laughter is the best medicine, Frank Drebin may be the best thing to happen to America since penicillin. Or at least Preparation H.” – Santa Cruz Sentinel Jul 22, 2025 Full Review Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1987) 16% EDIT “The film spends much too much time on predictable patterns and just forgets the story.” – Santa Cruz Sentinel Jul 2, 2025 Full Review Jurassic Park (1993) 91% 2.5/4 EDIT “Stupendously bad in that it is both stupendous and bad. It is also further confirmation that Spielberg, so inspired and brilliant in his early films, has become little more than a high-tech hack in his later career.” – Santa Cruz Sentinel Jul 1, 2025 Full Review Apollo 13 (1995) 94% A EDIT “Not one flag is waved. There are no patriotic slogans, no jingoistic speeches. The word America isn't even stressed. And yet Ron Howard's Apollo 13 is the most purely American film in memory. It is also the best film so far this year.” – Santa Cruz Sentinel Jun 25, 2025 Full Review C.H.U.D. (1984) 43% EDIT “"C.H.U.D." has absolutely no redeeming points to it.” – Santa Cruz Sentinel May 10, 2025 Full Review Mission: Impossible (1996) 67% D EDIT “De Palma didn't stand a chance with this script.” – Santa Cruz Sentinel May 6, 2025 Full Review The Lion King (1994) 92% EDIT “One of the great wonders of a film like The Lion King is that it is a joint effort beyond anything in traditional drama or film. Hundreds of animators, writers, actors, musicians join together in an effort like this one, which took four years to produce.” – Santa Cruz Sentinel Dec 19, 2024 Full Review Aladdin (1992) 96% 5/5 EDIT “It will work its usual spell on children, but Aladdin is also hip and contemporary enough to become a favorite of adults.” – Santa Cruz Sentinel Dec 16, 2024 Full Review Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992) 69% 3.5/5 EDIT “Neither boring nor brilliant, Bram Stoker's Dracula is instead a stunning visual feast with surprisingly little soul. ” – Santa Cruz Sentinel Sep 26, 2024 Full Review Twister (1996) 68% B+ EDIT “Twister happily has nothing on its mind at all and never pretends to. It just comes at you with literal gale force and is content to leave you stunned rather than trying to teach anything.” – Santa Cruz Sentinel Jul 15, 2024 Full Review Seven (1995) 84% B+ EDIT “It is an essentially hopeless film with a particularly ugly view of the modern condition and the fact that it is done well makes it even harder to take.” – Santa Cruz Sentinel Mar 29, 2024 Full Review Pulp Fiction (1994) 92% A+ EDIT “There is a fine madness to writer/director/actor Quentin Tarantino's latest wonderwork, Pulp Fiction, which is certainly one of the most exciting films of the past 20 years and easily the most important film of 1994.” – Santa Cruz Sentinel Mar 1, 2024 Full Review Heat (1995) 84% A EDIT “Mann has produced the best crime epic since Goodfellas and one of the best films of the year, an absolute must-see for anyone who likes good (heck, great) acting and modern cinema.” – Santa Cruz Sentinel Dec 21, 2023 Full Review The Last of the Mohicans (1992) 88% 4/5 EDIT “It is the type of film rarely made anymore and Mann manages to make it all the more effective by playing down the pomposity and keeping the adrenaline level high.” – Santa Cruz Sentinel Dec 14, 2023 Full Review White Men Can't Jump (1992) 75% 3.5/5 EDIT “To mix metaphors, White Men Can't Jump isn't a slam dunk, but it scores all the same. ” – Santa Cruz Sentinel Aug 31, 2023 Full Review Batman (1989) 77% EDIT “It is both a technical and aesthetic triumph, a fact made all the more impressive since the movie was almost buried in its own hype before anyone had seen it. ” – Santa Cruz Sentinel Jul 25, 2023 Full Review
