"Most of the time it's fresh, funny, and surprising."
Posted May 20, 2008
 
Dragnet (1987)48%
/
 
"A 1986 computer-animated feature based on a popular TV cartoon show, further inspired, no doubt, by the philanthropic desire of Japanese and American toy manufacturers to keep their kiddie customers rolling in robots."
Posted May 18, 2008
 
Transformers: The Movie (1986)50%
/
 
"A few too many moralistic foreshadowings, but most of the time Cox's situations and characters develop on their own eloquently entropic terms."
Posted Apr 28, 2008
 
Sid & Nancy (1986)90%
/
 
"The director's perenially heavy mood seems especially well suited to this indigo-shaded story of a black American saxman (Dexter Gordon) living and performing in Paris in the late 50s."
Posted Apr 8, 2008
 
Round Midnight (1986)100%
/
 
"Improv talent Robert Townsend is pretty much the whole show."
Posted Mar 18, 2008
 
Hollywood Shuffle (1987)87%
/
 
"Made-for-TV eyewash for disheartened Bears fans to drown their sorrows in."
Posted Jan 25, 2008
 
Brian's Song (1971)91%
/
 
"Twenty years later and none the wiser for it."
Posted Jan 15, 2008
 
A Man and a Woman - 20 Years Later (1986)33%
/
 
"On the whole I've had more fun in Cleveland."
Posted Jan 11, 2008
 
Down by Law (1986)88%
/
 
"It's grave, lumbering, arrhythmic, and bloated, an emotional hogwallow of catchpenny insights and easy sentimentality."
Posted Dec 11, 2007
 
Peggy Sue Got Married (1986)86%
/
 
"Empty glitz in search of a style."
Posted Nov 27, 2007
 
Lethal Weapon (1987)90%
/
 
"The cartoon vision of southwestern tackiness doesn't cut very deep, but the mise-en-scene is packed with clever clutter."
Posted Nov 6, 2007
 
Raising Arizona (1987)90%
/
 
"I suppose that never forgetting has its place, but not when it insists on such narrowly righteous fantasies of revenge."
Posted Oct 15, 2007
 
Come and See (1985)93%
/
 
"Sam Raimi directed this 1983 horror feature fresh out of film school, and his anything-for-an-effect enthusiasm pays off in lots of formally inventive bits."
Posted Sep 24, 2007
 
The Evil Dead (1979)100%
/
 
"The pop-up humor and smirkiness suggest Raimi's aspiring to the fashionable company of the brothers Coen, though on the basis of this strained effort I'd say he's overshot the mark."
Posted Sep 21, 2007
 
Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn (1987)98%
/
 
"[A] bright, occasionally imbecilic teen comedy."
Posted Jul 25, 2007
 
One Crazy Summer (1986)60%
/
 
"Assembly-line feature from the John Hughes teen factory."
Posted Jul 24, 2007
 
Some Kind of Wonderful (1987)77%
/
 
"It's more a success than a failure, if only because the confusions are so protean."
Posted Jul 18, 2007
 
River's Edge (1987)86%
/
 
"Satyajit Ray's 1966 feature comes at the tail end of his early realist period, which included most of the films that won him his reputation in the West."
Posted Jul 14, 2007
 
Nayak: the Hero (1966)n/a
/
 
"The plot is standard fantasy-adventure pulp, though director Joe Dante has so many screwball things going on in it that the comedy all but overwhelms the formulaic line of action."
Posted Jun 8, 2007
 
Innerspace (1987)79%
/
 
"I suspect the unconverted will want to be beamed up pronto."
Posted Jun 6, 2007
 
Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986)86%
/
 
"There's a brooding, agonized quality to the violence that almost seems subversive, as if Verhoeven were both appalled and fascinated by his complicity in the toxic action rot."
Posted Jun 5, 2007
 
Robocop (1987)85%
/
 
"Image so much subverts intention that Jeff Goldblum's tragic flyperson finally seems more ludicrous than affecting, voyeuristically bizarre."
Posted Jun 5, 2007
 
The Fly (1986)91%
/
 
"Despite the off-rhythm styling, there's not a lot going on."
Posted Jun 5, 2007
 
Predator (1987)78%
/
 
"Dismal SF deep think (1968) that gave birth to an equally dismal string of sequels and TV series spin-offs."
Posted May 30, 2007
 
Planet of the Apes (1968)88%
/
 
"The duck doesn't fly, but did anyone ever really think it would?"
Posted Apr 25, 2007
 
Howard the Duck (1986)19%
/
 
"By ordinary movie standards it's awful, but fans of cinematic dementia should have fun for about half an hour."
Posted Apr 17, 2007
 
Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1987)11%
/
 
"Cohen's obviously having fun with the cheesy clay animation, and Michael Moriarty delivers an inspired, whacked-out performance as a small-time operater who tries to turn the monster into his own private bonanza, but the rest... is disengaged and sloppy."
Posted Mar 28, 2007
 
Q - The Winged Serpent (1983)59%
/
 
"A solidly crafted entertainment that, for the most part, strikes a successful balance between commercial necessity and personal expression."
Posted Mar 26, 2007
 
The Color of Money (1986)91%
/
 
"Bobby Knight would not be amused, though Tark the Shark might've had a good laugh at the naive masquerade."
Posted Mar 21, 2007
 
Hoosiers (1987)90%
/
 
"Filmed in Milan, Sicily, and New York, Alberto Lattuada's 1962 black comedy is one of his most critically suc"
Posted Mar 10, 2007
 
Mafioso (1962)96%
/
 
"I'm intrigued by that stylistic envelope: simultaneously hypnotic and enervating, meditative and empty."
Posted Feb 7, 2007
 
Manhunter (1986)94%
/
 
"For all the purported naturalism, the film seems resolutely schematic, and the attitudes shaping the drama are far from open-ended."
Posted Feb 5, 2007
 
Platoon (1986)88%
/
 
"Jonathan Demme's picaresque joyride across the American landscape is still arguably the best thing he's ever done."
Posted Dec 26, 2006
 
Something Wild (1986)86%
/
 
"It won best-picture Oscar for 1952, but God (De Mille's favorite walk-on, strangely absent here) only knows why."
