North (1994) 12% EDIT “Not great satire, but not bad, either.” – Birmingham Post Jan 24, 2026 Full Review A Few Good Men (1992) 85% EDIT “Cruise's acting redeems his one-dimensional Irish immigrant in Far and Away, while Nicholson establishes an unsympathetic character you'll not soon forget. ” – Birmingham Post Jan 6, 2026 Full Review Final Analysis (1992) 57% EDIT “A psychological thriller that is almost a catalogue of Hitchcockian suspense and devices. Strangely, they work in this complex, first-rate drama.” – Birmingham Post Dec 19, 2025 Full Review Hook (1991) 37% EDIT “As eye-opening spectacle, Hook is filled with inventiveness and opulence. It is not so strong as a moral fable.” – Birmingham Post Dec 19, 2025 Full Review True Lies (1994) 77% EDIT “This is the ultimate blockbuster with more stunts than a circus, more visual splash than Charles Bronson or Sean Connery ever dreamed of. ” – Birmingham Post Dec 9, 2025 Full Review Casper (1995) 59% EDIT “Ghost stories have been entrancing people from time immemorial and it's good to report that the modern magic of special effects only heightens the wizardry and mystery of these spectral tales.” – Birmingham Post Oct 3, 2025 Full Review Waterworld (1995) 60% EDIT “A fairly original concept for an adventure film that is far from the predicted fiasco it was rumored to be. ” – Birmingham Post Jul 28, 2025 Full Review Red Rock West (1993) 95% EDIT “Neither deep nor cheap, this thriller will keep you guessing about who to trust, if anyone.” – Birmingham Post Jul 15, 2025 Full Review South Central (1992) 78% EDIT “Gritty and well-acted melodrama with topical relevance, if limited appeal.” – Birmingham Post Jul 1, 2025 Full Review Savage Nights (1992) 70% EDIT “The film is driven by a sort of frenzy, not so much for escape as for the embracing of life.” – Birmingham Post Jul 1, 2025 Full Review Jurassic Park (1993) 91% EDIT “If you thought the world's most commercially successful director had lost his touch for action adventure with Hook, be assured that the maker of Jaws, E.T. and "Close Encounters" is back in top form again, and then some. ” – Birmingham Post Jul 1, 2025 Full Review A Man of No Importance (1994) 83% EDIT “Strange tale, but Finney is always watchable.” – Birmingham Post Jun 24, 2025 Full Review The Quick and the Dead (1995) 62% EDIT “Sam Raimi has directed this for some in-crowd laughs, some overdrawn characters, and a fair amount of fun action.” – Birmingham Post Jun 24, 2025 Full Review Carrington (1995) 58% EDIT “The film will have its cult admirers for its daring look at eccentric sexual history.” – Birmingham Post Jun 24, 2025 Full Review Apollo 13 (1995) 94% EDIT “Apollo 13 seems predictable, but it isn't. It stands out as exceptionally good adventure fare.” – Birmingham Post Jun 24, 2025 Full Review Monkey Trouble (1994) 58% EDIT “This is mildly amusing kids' stuff. ” – Birmingham Post Dec 19, 2024 Full Review War of the Buttons (1994) EDIT “A cast of unknown actors with a lot of talent show how earnest kids can be about their contests of strength and wit. ” – Birmingham Post Dec 19, 2024 Full Review Threesome (1994) 30% EDIT “This is passably entertaining, if ultimately rather shallow. ” – Birmingham Post Dec 19, 2024 Full Review The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (1994) 94% EDIT “The Adventures of Priscilla is a musical, a comedy of gay manners and a daring comment on the price of being different in a hostile world. ” – Birmingham Post Dec 19, 2024 Full Review Pocahontas (1995) 59% EDIT “This lukewarm and sentimental film is scarcely a match for Aladdin or The Lion King of recent Disney hits.” – Birmingham Post Dec 17, 2024 Full Review Aladdin (1992) 96% EDIT “Let's hope pantomime producers study Aladdin as a possible prototype of how to infuse ancient tales with modern sophistication. A family film of the very best quality.” – Birmingham Post Dec 16, 2024 Full Review Beauty and the Beast (1991) 95% EDIT “The story is corny, predictable and sentimental, but this is all sheer mythical fantasy, so go for it and enjoy it.” – Birmingham Post Dec 16, 2024 Full Review Man Bites Dog (1992) 68% EDIT “A vicious satire about TV violence that gets out of control and turns into a film almost too violent and depraved to watch.” – Birmingham Post Sep 26, 2024 Full Review Singles (1992) 79% EDIT “This is a warm and witty piece for the young about the young.” – Birmingham Post Sep 26, 2024 Full Review Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992) 69% EDIT “This is big-budget war against runaway evil, which will give you goose-pimples. I'm no fan of horror pics but this Dracula is full-throttle film-making of great power.” – Birmingham Post Sep 26, 2024 Full Review
