At Long Last Love (1975) Charles Brock The costumes and backgrounds are visual delights and the performers are all engaging.

Hearts of the West (1975) Charles Brock It is an engaging film.
Posted Feb 04, 2026  Edit critic review
Brannigan (1975) Charles Brock The plot's pretty sluggish overall.
Posted Feb 04, 2026  Edit critic review
The Stepford Wives (1975) Charles Brock The front assault on woman's lib has a paranormal basis. But you'll have to come and see it for yourself.

2/5
Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1987) David Crumpler The story is shallow, the special effects are strangely routine, and the characters are even more superficial than you'd expect from a film inspired by a comic book series.

1/4
Supergirl (1984) Charlie Patton About five minutes into the movie Supergirl I'd seen all I wanted to see.

Explorers (1985) Phil Kloer Explorers just stays earthbound for too long.

4/5
The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! (1988) David Crumpler Zucker has united the actors with a wonderful sense of rhythm, and they keep the insanity moving so fast that, when the picture ends, you're almost relieved to stop laughing.

1/5
Predator 2 (1990) David Crumpler It's filled with characters we don't care about and an alien creature we're not really allowed to understand.
Posted Feb 04, 2026  Edit critic review
Rancho Deluxe (1975) Charles Brock Nothing much seems to happen, yet [Jeff Bridges and Sam Waterston] are so entertaining you hang around anyway.
Posted Feb 04, 2026  Edit critic review
Shampoo (1975) Charles Brock The end result is a highly entertaining outing.
Posted Feb 04, 2026  Edit critic review
Rafferty and the Gold Dust Twins (1975) Charles Brock An odd Odyssey involving a trio of likable scamps.
Posted Feb 04, 2026  Edit critic review
Peeper (1975) Charles Brock "Peeper" turns out to be a weak imitation of the gumshoe theme.
Posted Feb 04, 2026  Edit critic review
Death Race 2000 (1975) Charles Brock The action is fast and furious, even if the premise is a little spooky.
Posted Feb 04, 2026  Edit critic review
2/5
Pee-wee's Big Adventure (1985) Charlie Patton Pee-wee's Big Adventure doesn't have nearly enough good ideas to fill 90 minutes of film.
Posted Feb 03, 2026  Edit critic review
3/5
The Abyss (1989) David Crumpler The Abyss is all spectacle, no heart.
Posted Feb 03, 2026  Edit critic review
2/5
Big Top Pee-wee (1988) David Crumpler There are probably four jokes in the movie that appeal to age groups older than 10.
Posted Feb 03, 2026  Edit critic review
Tommy (1975) Charles Brock Ken Russell tackles The Who's bestselling rock opera and comes up with a sense-assaulting, visually stunning movie.
Posted Feb 03, 2026  Edit critic review
3/4
Christine (1983) Phil Kloer Director John Carpenter realizes the essential silliness of it all, and goes for humor and camp wherever possible.
Posted Jan 29, 2026  Edit critic review
3.5/4
Starman (1984) Charlie Patton The movie seems to last a little too long. And it is, for the most part, thoroughly predictable. But it is also, thanks primarily to Bridges, one of the year's most emotionally satisfying movies.
Posted Jan 29, 2026  Edit critic review
3/5
The Running Man (1987) David Crumpler The Running Man is a real crowd pleaser.
Posted Jan 27, 2026  Edit critic review
3/5
Return to Oz (1985) Charlie Patton Return to Oz is an exercise in technical virtuosity that is bound to please no one.
Posted Jan 27, 2026  Edit critic review
3/5
Darkman (1990) David Crumpler Darkman is one pretty cool comic book of a movie.
Posted Jan 26, 2026  Edit critic review
3/4
Tron (1982) Phil Kloer In the end, TRON seems to have been written by a computer, as well as realized by one.
Posted Jan 26, 2026  Edit critic review
1/5
North (1994) Matthew Soergel North is a shallow, episodic tale that, to compensate for having nothing to say, tries to get by on whimsy alone. And that's nowhere near enough.
Posted Jan 24, 2026  Edit critic review
4/5
Misery (1990) David Crumpler Guided by the skilled direction of Rob Reiner, Misery is among the best of the many King stories adapted for the movies.
Posted Jan 21, 2026  Edit critic review
4/5
The Princess Bride (1987) David Crumpler The Princess Bride is visually a very rich film. The camera shows us color as vivid as a child's imagination.

4/5
A Few Good Men (1992) David Crumpler The picture is certainly gripping.
Posted Jan 21, 2026  Edit critic review
3/4
The Sure Thing (1985) Charlie Patton It's funny, romantic and extremely well-acted.
Posted Jan 21, 2026  Edit critic review
3.5/4
This Is Spinal Tap (1984) Phil Kloer A hilarious spoof of heavy-metal music that has "cult classic" written all over it.

3/5
When Harry Met Sally... (1989) David Crumpler Even though you know, ultimately, what is going to happen with the story, you have fun watching the how's and why's.
Posted Jan 20, 2026  Edit critic review
The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951) Florida Times-Union Staff It is fun to watch, whether the viewer derives terror or humor from the weird events.
Posted Jan 16, 2026  Edit critic review
Bite the Bullet (1975) Charles Brock The acting is superb.
Posted Jan 15, 2026  Edit critic review
Rollerball (1975) Charles Brock it is viscerally exciting, at times gut twisting.
Posted Jan 15, 2026  Edit critic review
3/5
Mission: Impossible (1996) Matt Soergel It is routinely mind-boggling.
Posted Jan 13, 2026  Edit critic review
3/4
American Psycho (2000) Matt Soergel American Psycho works for several reasons, the most important being the performance of Bale.
Posted Jan 13, 2026  Edit critic review
3/5
Stand by Me (1986) David Crumpler Stand By Me is a fresh, funny and emotional film.
Posted Jan 13, 2026  Edit critic review
3/4
Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002) Matt Soergel One thing you notice about the new Star Wars movie is how people who did little but stand around in the previous story now get up and get down and actually do something.
Posted Jan 13, 2026  Edit critic review
4/4
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) Matt Soergel It turns out that Jackson, the creator of one art film and a host of blood-splattered horror films, is the perfect man for this job. He loves the scary villains, and he loves his heroes.
Posted Jan 13, 2026  Edit critic review
Confessions of a Nazi Spy (1939) Richard G. Moffet Fine performances are given by Robinson, Paul Lukas, as the bund leader.
Posted Jan 08, 2026  Edit critic review
5/5
Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) David Crumpler The movie is a stunningly efficient study in special effects, high-style violence and relentless action. In short, it's a heart-thumper.
Posted Dec 08, 2025  Edit critic review
Jerry Maguire (1996) Matt Soergel Cruise's relationship with Zellweger's character is fascinating, far deeper and more honest than the usual cookie-cutter romance.
Posted Aug 24, 2016  Edit critic review
4/4
Shakespeare in Love (1998) Matt Soergel There's so much to like about this film, which is giddily romantic, funny and clever, chock-full of Shakespearean touches like doomed love, mistaken identity and men dressing as women and women dressing as men.
Posted Feb 22, 2016  Edit critic review
Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977) Rip Hotch It's a throwback to that more innocent kind of film, where you know who's good and who's bad, where you boo the villain and cheer the hero...The movie makes fun of those clichés, but director George Lucas must love them too, because he makes them work.
Posted Dec 15, 2015  Edit critic review
3/4
Casino Royale (2006) Matt Soergel It's as close to Fleming's books as we've seen since the early days of Sean Connery. And it's darker, for sure, and more brutal than almost all of the movies.
Posted Nov 02, 2015  Edit critic review
2/4
Die Another Day (2002) Matt Soergel Adding to the grimness: The title song is from Madonna, a dreary bit of lightweight electro-pop that goes on and on to little effect.
Posted Nov 02, 2015  Edit critic review
2.5/4
Tomorrow Never Dies (1997) Matt Soergel The good news in Tomorrow Never Dies is that Pierce Brosnan fills out James Bond's tux considerably better. In his second go at Bond, he seems tougher and less-lightweight.
Posted Nov 01, 2015  Edit critic review
3/4
The Simpsons Movie (2007) Matt Soergel It's impossible to keep the Simpsons down. Even during those draggy parts, you need to stay alert: You never know when the film's 11 credited screenwriters will unleash another zinger.
Posted Aug 02, 2015  Edit critic review
3/4
Finding Nemo (2003) Matt Soergel It looks great, of course: All the Pixar movies do. But the genius of those other movies lay in their actual stories -- stories as inspired as the animation.
Posted Jul 29, 2015  Edit critic review
3/4
Daredevil (2003) Matt Soergel Much of the film is a setup for hoped-for sequels, so the plot isn't really the thing. But Daredevil benefits from some strong supporting roles.
