3/5	80%	The Decline of Western Civilization Part II: The Metal Years (1988)	" For all the amusingly fatuous remarks heard here -- and Miss Spheeris has a great ear for these -- the overriding dimness of most of the fans and musicians is frightening." — New York Times Posted Oct 23, 2009
4.5/5	92%	Beauty and the Beast (2012)	" It is a surprise, in a time of sequels and retreads, that the new film is so fresh and altogether triumphant in its own right." — New York Times Posted Oct 18, 2008
1/5	——	Oh Heavenly Dog (1980)	" Shows few signs of life, and many signs of depressing modernism." — New York Times Posted May 12, 2008

3.5/5	——	American Boy: A Profile of: Steven Prince ()	" There is a party atmosphere to the telling of these stories, as Mr. Prince holds forth in a smoke-filled room with a group of friends, Mr. Scorsese among them. But the film maker's conviviality takes on an element of regret." — New York Times Posted Sep 13, 2007

2.5/5	75%	Life is a Bed of Roses (1983)	" It's more memorable for various isolated witticisms and images than it is as a coherent whole. And its flightier touches can be deadly." — New York Times Posted Jun 30, 2007
