My Bloody Valentine (1981) 39% EDIT “It is utterly predictable, utterly average, utterly forgettable.” – Austin American-Statesman Jan 29, 2026 Full Review Bite the Bullet (1975) 69% EDIT “In addition to Brooks' script, stylish direction and some of the prettiest horses ever put before a camera, there also happens to be a cast that seems to have been assembled in a moment of divine inspiration.” – Austin American-Statesman Jan 15, 2026 Full Review Stand by Me (1986) 88% EDIT “The performances are a revelation.” – Austin American-Statesman Jan 13, 2026 Full Review The Sure Thing (1985) 84% EDIT “Reiner is aided enormously by the persuasive performances of Zuniga and Cusack. ” – Austin American-Statesman Jan 7, 2026 Full Review Christine (1983) 72% EDIT “Just as King's novels has assumed a kind of assembly line superficiality, Carpenter's realization of "Christine" is merely dutiful, as if the mass-production sameness of the story has rubbed off on Carpenter's style” – Austin American-Statesman Dec 16, 2025 Full Review Big Top Pee-wee (1988) 31% EDIT “Forget about whether it's good or not; what's mystifying here is why Pee-Wee/Reubens chose this direction.” – Austin American-Statesman Dec 11, 2025 Full Review The Abyss (1989) 76% 3/4 EDIT “The interaction among the many supporting players lends humor and heart to a movie dominated by hardware and technical jargon.” – Austin American-Statesman Dec 10, 2025 Full Review The Running Man (1987) 59% 2/4 EDIT “The "satire" on the television age that this movie attempts is incredibly heavy-handed and more than a little mean-spirited.” – Austin American-Statesman Nov 6, 2025 Full Review Predator (1987) 64% EDIT “Predator is nothing more than Commando all over again, only without the sunny presence of Rae Dawn Chong as a beacon of humor and softly stated feminism. ” – Austin American-Statesman Oct 30, 2025 Full Review Dracula (1979) 64% EDIT “John Badham's timid direction leaves us with a Technicolor, Dolby stereo version of a 1930s movie, complete with creaking doors that slam after they are opened.” – Austin American-Statesman Oct 21, 2025 Full Review Re-Animator (1985) 88% EDIT “The movie has a terrific sense of humor.” – Austin American-Statesman Oct 16, 2025 Full Review Desert Hearts (1985) 77% EDIT “The performances are what carry the film, especially that of Patricia Charbonneau as Cay. She's a flesh-and-blood creature of the kind we've been getting fewer and fewer of lately. ” – Austin American-Statesman Oct 12, 2025 Full Review Tron (1982) 60% EDIT “The realization of this world is plenty pleasing stuff to watch.” – Austin American-Statesman Oct 5, 2025 Full Review This Is Spinal Tap (1984) 98% EDIT “It's a smart, funny movie with appeal for anyone with a grown-up sense of humor.” – Austin American-Statesman Sep 9, 2025 Full Review Darkman (1990) 80% 2.5/4 EDIT “Darkman possesses tons more style and humor than your everyday horror movie... Raimi hasn't lost his subversive edge.” – Austin American-Statesman Aug 26, 2025 Full Review Cooley High (1975) 83% EDIT “It's all good fun and good acting up until the last ten minutes.” – Austin American-Statesman Aug 15, 2025 Full Review Pumpkinhead (1988) 51% 3/4 EDIT “Pumpkinhead is a much-better-than-average monster movie, made so by a decent script, good performances and Winston's knowledge of the narrative mechanics of monster movies. ” – Austin American-Statesman Aug 13, 2025 Full Review The Return of the Living Dead (1985) 71% EDIT “It is the work of a lazy filmmaker, one who means to keep viewers distracted by parading one gross-out gag after another.” – Austin American-Statesman Aug 13, 2025 Full Review Pee-wee's Big Adventure (1985) 78% EDIT “This is, quite simply, one of the dumbest movies of the year.” – Austin American-Statesman Jul 30, 2025 Full Review The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! (1988) 88% 2/4 EDIT “The Naked Gun is never really awful, but it's a surprisingly empty movie for one that gets so many giggles out of the audience.” – Austin American-Statesman Jul 24, 2025 Full Review Explorers (1985) 49% EDIT “This is a movie with a couple of pretty good ideas that get stretched way too thin before ever being developed.” – Austin American-Statesman Jul 10, 2025 Full Review Superman: The Movie (1978) 87% EDIT “As it turns out, the real pleasures of the film are found not in the technical wizardry but in the effectiveness of the actors. In addition to being a spectacle, it's a well-acted film, solidly directed by Richard Donner.” – Austin American-Statesman Jul 8, 2025 Full Review Superman III (1983) 31% EDIT “As narrative, this is the worst storytelling in recent memory...” – Austin American-Statesman Jul 7, 2025 Full Review Supergirl (1984) 19% EDIT “Supergirl is nothing if not cheap-looking.” – Austin American-Statesman Jun 27, 2025 Full Review The Karate Kid Part II (1986) 49% EDIT “It's out of whack with itself.” – Austin American-Statesman May 27, 2025 Full Review
