North (1994) 12% 1.5/5 EDIT “Only the most forgiving viewer will find North satisfying.” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Jan 24, 2026 Full Review Stand by Me (1986) 88% 8/10 EDIT “River Phoenix, Wil Wheaton, Corey Feldman and Jerry O'Connell all convey the illusion of being world-weary adults trapped in the bodies of exuberant children; there is no better job of team-acting to be found.” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Jan 13, 2026 Full Review The Princess Bride (1987) 93% 6/10 EDIT “Although bland casting of the romantic leads weakens it, Rob Reiner's The Princess Bride is delightful lighthearted escapism. The film also suggests that reading beats moviegoing any day. ” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Jan 7, 2026 Full Review A Few Good Men (1992) 85% EDIT “...For the first time since [Jack Nicholson's] days as a struggling unknown, he loses himself entirely in character. He becomes unrecognizable as Jack Nicholson, and the portrayal is all the more fascinating for that quality.” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Jan 7, 2026 Full Review Hook (1991) 37% 8/10 EDIT “Hook is a blessing, overall, in some crucial departments. We have here a smashing major-studio debut for Jim Hart's heartfelt writing; the savvy casting of name-brand stars... and the restoration of Steven Spielberg as a formidable picture-maker.” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Dec 19, 2025 Full Review Big Top Pee-wee (1988) 31% 6/10 EDIT “The workmanlike plainness of Randall Kleiser's direction on the new entry allows co-producer/co-author Reubens and a wonderful supporting cast of grotesque characters and eccentrics to stand out in striking relief.” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Dec 11, 2025 Full Review True Lies (1994) 77% 2/5 EDIT “As an action film, True Lies is scarcely more than a retread of Commando.” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Dec 10, 2025 Full Review The Abyss (1989) 76% 4/10 EDIT “Here we have an industrial-strength job of underwater photography, a vitally appealing cast of not-yet-stars, and a fascinating situation, all at the mercy of Spielbergian soft soap.” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Dec 10, 2025 Full Review Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) 91% 5/10 EDIT “Where the original Terminator holds up marvelously as a generous thriller without imitation-epic pretensions, the sequel plays like a "B" movie with delusions of grandeur.” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Dec 8, 2025 Full Review The Running Man (1987) 59% 7/10 EDIT “It's an exhausting romp, but Schwarzenegger is up to both the heroic business and the more sensitive moments.” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Nov 6, 2025 Full Review From Beyond (1986) 74% 6/10 EDIT “Words might have failed Lovecraft, but the design crew pulls no punches in depicting corruption of the flesh.” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Oct 20, 2025 Full Review Desert Hearts (1985) 77% 7/10 EDIT “Desert Hearts' R rating takes into account some fiery lovemaking footage. Deitch, however, avoids prurience and concentrates on the players' faces, lending the picture a tasteful restraint that intensifies its eroticism. ” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Oct 12, 2025 Full Review Casper (1995) 59% 3/5 EDIT “It's a pretty good movie, even so, with plot holes as big as Pasadena and enough breathtaking special effects to take one's mind off all the lapses of script sense.” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Sep 29, 2025 Full Review To Sleep With Anger (1990) 93% 8/10 EDIT “The film is gracefully light and understated.” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Sep 23, 2025 Full Review Hard Eight (1996) 82% 4/5 EDIT “All this business about tangled loyalties and cold deceptions may be as old as the hills, but Anderson infuses it with the vitality of rich characterizations and desperate urgency.” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Sep 22, 2025 Full Review Night of the Living Dead (1990) 57% 8/10 EDIT “The siege situation is generic, but its use here with a character-driven narrative makes for a rouser of a time at the movies.” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Sep 18, 2025 Full Review Darkman III: Die Darkman Die (1996) 39% 2.5/5 EDIT “Not a patch on the original film, but not half bad, either.” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Sep 16, 2025 Full Review Darkman II: The Return of Durant (1995) 48% EDIT “Arnold Vosloo inherits Neeson's Darkman role and treats it quite well. Bradford May directs with a big-screen attitude, transcending the sequel's made-for-video origins.” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Sep 12, 2025 Full Review Darkman (1990) 80% 9/10 EDIT “A visionary film, Darkman laces its thrills with a biblical righteousness and plays out the works with earnest confidence. ” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Aug 27, 2025 Full Review Pumpkinhead (1988) 51% 5/10 EDIT “When Pumpkinhead is good, it is very good: when it lapses, it's not bad -- just ordinary. ” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Aug 13, 2025 Full Review The Return of the Living Dead (1985) 71% 1.5/5 EDIT “The writing, a sorry mix of crisp dialogue and limp plotting, harbors a nihilistic attitude that may leave viewers feeling drained and cheated.” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Aug 13, 2025 Full Review Waterworld (1995) 60% 3.5/5 EDIT “Costner is in his element, underplaying with real charisma as a good and resourceful sort who can't be bothered with being a nice guy. Hopper answers Costner's understatement with a gleefully over-the-top show of villainy. ” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Jul 28, 2025 Full Review The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! (1988) 88% 7/10 EDIT “The film is almost superior of its kind -- a vast improvement over Airplane!, in the sense that it resists throwing out more gags than an audience can digest in one viewing.” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Jul 24, 2025 Full Review Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult (1994) 66% 7/10 EDIT “...this No. 3 installment [of Naked Gun] is as rewardingly silly as the series' opening shots, and more slickly assembled. ” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Jul 17, 2025 Full Review DuckTales, the Movie: Treasure of the Lost Lamp (1990) 66% 4/10 EDIT “Nowhere near up to comparison with even The Jungle Book, but several cuts above rival studios' work.” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Jul 17, 2025 Full Review
