House (1985) 49% EDIT “Miner doesn't make quite make it to outrageous, but he is frequently successful at drollery.” – Houston Chronicle Jan 30, 2026 Full Review North (1994) 12% EDIT “Just about everything goes thud.” – Houston Chronicle Jan 24, 2026 Full Review The American President (1995) 90% EDIT “Deconstruct the screenplay, and the fact is, you won't find much documentation why Shepherd and Sydney should fall in love. The solution is as old as Hollywood itself: Hire genuine movie stars, and their personas will supply any missing mud and straw. ” – Houston Chronicle Jan 22, 2026 Full Review Misery (1990) 87% EDIT “This is suspense film in which writer and director go for grotesquerie and laughs with equal vigor and regular success.” – Houston Chronicle Jan 22, 2026 Full Review Bite the Bullet (1975) 69% EDIT “The scenery is gorgeous and the acting isn't bad. But the actors are trapped in Brooks' cliche characterizations.” – Houston Chronicle Jan 15, 2026 Full Review Stand by Me (1986) 88% EDIT “The film is sweet and certainly heartfelt.” – Houston Chronicle Jan 13, 2026 Full Review The Princess Bride (1987) 93% EDIT “You don't need me to tell you that for an enterprise like this, touch is everything. Director Rob Reiner has it. He doesn't have a death grip on this, but he knows what he wants, knows how to get it, and what wants is right for the property.” – Houston Chronicle Jan 7, 2026 Full Review A Few Good Men (1992) 85% EDIT “Sorkin has written some fine dialogue that the actors deliver with great spirit and panache.” – Houston Chronicle Jan 7, 2026 Full Review When Harry Met Sally... (1989) 90% EDIT “When Harry Met Sally plays like a very personal film because it is. ” – Houston Chronicle Jan 6, 2026 Full Review Death Race 2000 (1975) 80% EDIT “The film has a satiric context which, if not exactly executed with terrific skill, is at least deserving of a few points for effort.” – Houston Chronicle Dec 22, 2025 Full Review Hook (1991) 37% EDIT “It's got everything but a heart. It's got emotion, sure. It entertains, but it isn't moving, and Spielberg wants very badly to move us. ” – Houston Chronicle Dec 19, 2025 Full Review Christine (1983) 72% EDIT “The film is well-made, but it just isn't scary.” – Houston Chronicle Dec 17, 2025 Full Review The Abyss (1989) 76% EDIT “This film contains some of the most puckering depictions of human beings in peril of their lives that I can remember.” – Houston Chronicle Dec 10, 2025 Full Review True Lies (1994) 77% EDIT “It's hard to make something this ordnance-intensive feel sly, and that's Cameron's principal achievement.” – Houston Chronicle Dec 10, 2025 Full Review Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) 91% EDIT “If you liked the first Terminator, you'll delight in this. It's twice as good as it had to be.” – Houston Chronicle Dec 8, 2025 Full Review Peeper (1975) 30% EDIT “The movie just doesn't work.” – Houston Chronicle Nov 21, 2025 Full Review The Wiz (1978) 38% EDIT “It bounces right along on the strengths of [Tony] Walton's imagination, Sidney Lumet's energetic direction and the simple fact that its premise is so terrific an idea for an entertainment that freshness keeps periodically regenerating itself.” – Houston Chronicle Nov 17, 2025 Full Review The Running Man (1987) 59% EDIT “Arnie's in on the jokes, and Dawson is terrific.” – Houston Chronicle Nov 6, 2025 Full Review From Beyond (1986) 74% EDIT “We laugh, but it's cynical: Gordon's attempting to crown himself Emperor of Gross-Out. Our laughter acknowledges that we're being pandered to and we know it.” – Houston Chronicle Oct 20, 2025 Full Review Tron (1982) 60% EDIT “The film's a structural mess.” – Houston Chronicle Oct 6, 2025 Full Review Casper (1995) 59% EDIT “Casper is a cutie. It's simple, straightforward fun in a sumptuous package.” – Houston Chronicle Oct 3, 2025 Full Review Hard Times (1975) 72% EDIT “Hill writes good dialogue, and the characters are interesting. But the film's anchor points are the fight scenes, and they're weakly staged.” – Houston Chronicle Sep 26, 2025 Full Review To Sleep With Anger (1990) 93% EDIT “You get the idea that Burnett's out to hypnotize us, and it works. It's a sly movie.” – Houston Chronicle Sep 23, 2025 Full Review Toy Story (1995) 100% EDIT “The production is first-rate all the way. It is superbly paced -- crisp, never frenetic --and it has lots and lots of ideas that turn over rapidly. ” – Houston Chronicle Sep 10, 2025 Full Review This Is Spinal Tap (1984) 98% EDIT “The film is crisp, clever and spectacularly knowledgeable. Not only is the film very well packaged, the satire is finely detailed.” – Houston Chronicle Sep 9, 2025 Full Review
