North (1994) 12% EDIT “The story is a rush of disjointed whimsies, expensively staged, with the rhythm of elephants falling into a pit of taffy.” – Copley News Service Jan 12, 2026 Full Review A Few Good Men (1992) 85% EDIT “Watching "A Few Good Men" is like strolling into an elegant showroom, finding a beautiful car, stroking its polished skin, enjoying the deluxe interior -- and then looking under the hood to find there's no motor.” – Copley News Service Jan 12, 2026 Full Review When Harry Met Sally... (1989) 90% EDIT “Reiner's smart affection for people is the pilot light that warms it, along with the stars' great charm.” – Copley News Service Jan 12, 2026 Full Review Someone to Watch Over Me (1987) 67% EDIT “Gilded with Architectural Digest style touches, Ridley Scott's film is a plush, rather dawdling revamp of "Laura."” – Copley News Service Jan 12, 2026 Full Review The Princess Bride (1987) 93% EDIT “Reiner has a lot of light grace, and the film has a floating good spirit.” – Copley News Service Jan 12, 2026 Full Review Stand by Me (1986) 88% EDIT “[It] holds us because of the fresh, natural, often funny work by the young stars.” – Copley News Service Jan 7, 2026 Full Review Misery (1990) 87% EDIT “Bates is a classic movie gargoyle.” – Copley News Service Jan 7, 2026 Full Review Manhunter (1986) 90% EDIT “Mann's approach is preening and full of nightmarish portents that never clarify the rushed, confusing plot.” – Copley News Service Jan 7, 2026 Full Review Ghostbusters II (1989) 55% EDIT “The cast is crack with hipness.” – Copley News Service Jan 7, 2026 Full Review The Fly (1986) 94% EDIT “"The Fly" is adroit.” – Copley News Service Dec 14, 2025 Full Review A Christmas Story (1983) 87% EDIT “A Christmas Story is numbly predictable.” – USA Today Dec 14, 2025 Full Review Hellraiser (1987) 71% EDIT “If you like strong terror and visceral weirdness, you've found your movie.” – Copley News Service Dec 14, 2025 Full Review Midnight Run (1988) 95% EDIT “"Midnight Run" doesn't open new doors, but it opens old ones to find fresh amusements.” – Copley News Service Dec 13, 2025 Full Review Christine (1983) 72% EDIT “The film is so completely, convincingly weird that it's a sort of warped classic.” – USA Today Dec 13, 2025 Full Review Big Trouble in Little China (1986) 71% EDIT “The movie is an assault and battery job, and exhausting to watch.” – Copley News Service Dec 13, 2025 Full Review Village of the Damned (1995) 28% 1/4 EDIT “Like the original, this movie doesn't have quite enough story.” – Copley News Service Dec 13, 2025 Full Review The Sender (1982) 86% EDIT “The Sender can be subtle. Images are woven in soft webs of light, the music doesn't mug the moods, and the actors seldom become gargoyles.” – Copley News Service Dec 13, 2025 Full Review Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982) 48% EDIT “Director Tommy Lee Wallace apes the manipulations of series founder John Carpenter yet lacks his gifts for kicks.” – USA Today Dec 13, 2025 Full Review Die Hard (1988) 94% EDIT “It's stupid yet engrossingly directed for jolts by John McTiernan.” – Copley News Service Dec 13, 2025 Full Review Die Hard 2 (1990) 68% EDIT “An almost entirely unbelievable action stampede.” – Copley News Service Dec 13, 2025 Full Review Gremlins 2: The New Batch (1990) 72% EDIT “A thin, silly story is just a connecting rod between burst of special effects.” – Copley News Service Dec 13, 2025 Full Review Gremlins (1984) 86% EDIT “"Gremlins" is often a gas, yet it's also long, indulgent and almost crushingly synthetic.” – Copley News Service Dec 13, 2025 Full Review The Abyss (1989) 76% EDIT “Assembled from past hits the movie is all derivative blatancy.” – Copley News Service Dec 9, 2025 Full Review The Running Man (1987) 59% EDIT “Schwarzenegger doesn't get enough action. The action he gets is often cheaply staged, deflating the manly magic of cunning, lethal expertise that has made him a star.” – Copley News Service Nov 6, 2025 Full Review Predator (1987) 64% EDIT “The gore is grim, yet the only meaningful criticism of the film, given the fact that such entertainment will be made as long as boys become men (and men remain boys), is that it runs too long.” – Copley News Service Oct 31, 2025 Full Review
