House (1985) 49% EDIT “"House" works for its laughs, and deserves them.” – Copley News Service Jan 30, 2026 Full Review North (1994) 12% EDIT “The story is a rush of disjointed whimsies, expensively staged, with the rhythm of elephants falling into a pit of taffy.” – Copley News Service Jan 12, 2026 Full Review A Few Good Men (1992) 85% EDIT “Watching "A Few Good Men" is like strolling into an elegant showroom, finding a beautiful car, stroking its polished skin, enjoying the deluxe interior -- and then looking under the hood to find there's no motor.” – Copley News Service Jan 12, 2026 Full Review When Harry Met Sally... (1989) 90% EDIT “Reiner's smart affection for people is the pilot light that warms it, along with the stars' great charm.” – Copley News Service Jan 12, 2026 Full Review Someone to Watch Over Me (1987) 67% EDIT “Gilded with Architectural Digest style touches, Ridley Scott's film is a plush, rather dawdling revamp of "Laura."” – Copley News Service Jan 12, 2026 Full Review The Princess Bride (1987) 93% EDIT “Reiner has a lot of light grace, and the film has a floating good spirit.” – Copley News Service Jan 12, 2026 Full Review Stand by Me (1986) 88% EDIT “[It] holds us because of the fresh, natural, often funny work by the young stars.” – Copley News Service Jan 7, 2026 Full Review Misery (1990) 87% EDIT “Bates is a classic movie gargoyle.” – Copley News Service Jan 7, 2026 Full Review Manhunter (1986) 90% EDIT “Mann's approach is preening and full of nightmarish portents that never clarify the rushed, confusing plot.” – Copley News Service Jan 7, 2026 Full Review Ghostbusters II (1989) 55% EDIT “The cast is crack with hipness.” – Copley News Service Jan 7, 2026 Full Review The Fly (1986) 94% EDIT “"The Fly" is adroit.” – Copley News Service Dec 14, 2025 Full Review A Christmas Story (1983) 87% EDIT “A Christmas Story is numbly predictable.” – USA Today Dec 14, 2025 Full Review Hellraiser (1987) 71% EDIT “If you like strong terror and visceral weirdness, you've found your movie.” – Copley News Service Dec 14, 2025 Full Review Midnight Run (1988) 95% EDIT “"Midnight Run" doesn't open new doors, but it opens old ones to find fresh amusements.” – Copley News Service Dec 13, 2025 Full Review Christine (1983) 72% EDIT “The film is so completely, convincingly weird that it's a sort of warped classic.” – USA Today Dec 13, 2025 Full Review Big Trouble in Little China (1986) 71% EDIT “The movie is an assault and battery job, and exhausting to watch.” – Copley News Service Dec 13, 2025 Full Review Village of the Damned (1995) 28% 1/4 EDIT “Like the original, this movie doesn't have quite enough story.” – Copley News Service Dec 13, 2025 Full Review The Sender (1982) 86% EDIT “The Sender can be subtle. Images are woven in soft webs of light, the music doesn't mug the moods, and the actors seldom become gargoyles.” – Copley News Service Dec 13, 2025 Full Review Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982) 48% EDIT “Director Tommy Lee Wallace apes the manipulations of series founder John Carpenter yet lacks his gifts for kicks.” – USA Today Dec 13, 2025 Full Review Die Hard (1988) 94% EDIT “It's stupid yet engrossingly directed for jolts by John McTiernan.” – Copley News Service Dec 13, 2025 Full Review Die Hard 2 (1990) 68% EDIT “An almost entirely unbelievable action stampede.” – Copley News Service Dec 13, 2025 Full Review Gremlins 2: The New Batch (1990) 72% EDIT “A thin, silly story is just a connecting rod between burst of special effects.” – Copley News Service Dec 13, 2025 Full Review Gremlins (1984) 86% EDIT “"Gremlins" is often a gas, yet it's also long, indulgent and almost crushingly synthetic.” – Copley News Service Dec 13, 2025 Full Review The Abyss (1989) 76% EDIT “Assembled from past hits the movie is all derivative blatancy.” – Copley News Service Dec 9, 2025 Full Review The Running Man (1987) 59% EDIT “Schwarzenegger doesn't get enough action. The action he gets is often cheaply staged, deflating the manly magic of cunning, lethal expertise that has made him a star.” – Copley News Service Nov 6, 2025 Full Review
