The Evil Dead (1981) 85% 6/10 EDIT “It may not be serious, but it's totally sincere; it never laughs at its own jokes. In fact, I'm not sure it even gets them. And you can't help but respond to Evil Dead at some level beyond the usual horror-movie fright and disgust.” – Detroit Free Press Mar 24, 2023 Full Review The Flight of the Eagle (1982) 7/10 EDIT “Although this film can't quite compete with Das Boot in consistent quality, Flight of the Eagle, starring Max Von Sydow as Andree, provides that same sort of unbearable intensity.” – Detroit Free Press Mar 24, 2023 Full Review Platoon (1986) 89% 7/10 EDIT “Despite the effectiveness of some of its moments, one begins to wish this movie were headed somewhere. Sensitive, intimate performances on the part of every member of a large ensemble cast, however, are enough to keep one watching. ” – Detroit Free Press Aug 23, 2022 Full Review Terms of Endearment (1983) 81% 8/10 EDIT “Terms of Endearment manages to be sentimental and sophisticated at the same time. Its characters and situations are wholly contemporary. Yet the film maintains a solid, old-fashioned conviction that the human heart is at least close to where it should be.” – Detroit Free Press Jul 21, 2022 Full Review Ghost Story (1981) 28% 2/4 EDIT “A noble attempt. It just didn't happen to work very well.” – Detroit Free Press Sep 19, 2021 Full Review El Super (1979) 92% EDIT “Whether we call it comedy or tragedy is irrelevant to those things that make this film special. The film does not proceed along a set story line, but is constructed of a series of realistic and endearing vignettes.” – Detroit Free Press Aug 11, 2021 Full Review Romantic Comedy (1983) 29% 6/10 EDIT “Slade's touch is a little lighter than Neil Simon's, and there are enough little surprises in the plot to keep it from being repetitive or dull.” – Detroit Free Press Aug 3, 2021 Full Review Porky's (1981) 33% 2/4 EDIT “Though it may only be by mistake, "Porky's" and its cast of personable characters manages to spark several genuinely funny moments (of course, it manages to spark still more that genuinely aren't).” – Detroit Free Press Jun 15, 2021 Full Review The Bedroom Window (1987) 72% 7/10 EDIT “This film is like reading a good scary mystery story on a rainy night in bed.” – Detroit Free Press Apr 14, 2021 Full Review The French Lieutenant's Woman (1981) 83% 3/4 EDIT “An appealing movie... of extraordinary visual beauty, with superbly subtle performances by Meryl Streep and Jeremy Irons, particularly Irons.” – Detroit Free Press Mar 23, 2021 Full Review
