The Abyss (1989) 75% EDIT “A technical marvel with sustained tension, exciting action footage and an emotional wallop in its nearly platonic love story.” – Variety Dec 5, 2025 Full Review Captain America (1990) 16% EDIT “Salinger has some good moments dealing with the cultural shock of his Rip Van Winkle reawakening, but film never takes flight under Albert Pyun's leaden direction.” – Variety Jul 21, 2011 Full Review Dr. Giggles (1992) 23% EDIT “Boasting a strong central performance in the title role by Larry Drake, picture is aimed at the low end of the shock audience. More care in scripting and fewer cheap yucks could have resulted in a viable new paranoid horror myth.” – Variety Mar 26, 2009 Full Review Man Trouble (1992) 7% EDIT “Jack Nicholson fans should feel cheated by Man Trouble, an insultingly trivial star vehicle.” – Variety Mar 26, 2009 Full Review Wide Sargasso Sea (1993) 65% EDIT “An uneven but ultimately engrossing feature.” – Variety Mar 26, 2009 Full Review National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon 1 (1993) 21% EDIT “More an imitation than a parody, this would-be comedy is very short on laughs and gives away virtually all of them in its coming-attractions trailer.” – Variety Mar 26, 2009 Full Review Super Mario Bros. (1993) 27% EDIT “Wildly overproduced and derivative.” – Variety Mar 26, 2009 Full Review Raising Cain (1992) 64% EDIT “That's the stuff of scary melodrama, especially with children in jeopardy. Unfortunately, DePalma fails to deliver real fright or titillation to his target audience, instead opting for satire.” – Variety Mar 26, 2009 Full Review Fire in the Sky (1993) 52% EDIT “Unfortunately, scripter Tracy Torme has no ear for the way people speak, delivering corny dialogue that sounds like a pastiche of ancient B-movie cliches.” – Variety Mar 26, 2009 Full Review Folks! (1992) 0% EDIT “Marking severe career setbacks for Ameche and Selleck, Folks! represents an obvious miscalculation as to the low intelligence of the mass audience.” – Variety Mar 26, 2009 Full Review Amos & Andrew (1993) 17% EDIT “A one-joke sketch that doesn't work as a feature.” – Variety Sep 16, 2008 Full Review Encino Man (1992) 17% EDIT “Low-budget quickie is insulting even within its own no-effort parameters.” – Variety Apr 30, 2008 Full Review Bad Lieutenant (1992) 77% EDIT “Abel Ferrara's uncompromising Bad Lieutenant is a harrowing journey with a corrupt N.Y. cop sinking into the lower depths.” – Variety Apr 9, 2008 Full Review Boomerang (1992) 48% EDIT “In Boomerang Eddie Murphy straitjackets himself in an ill-fitting comedy vehicle that's desperately in need of a reality check.” – Variety Mar 18, 2008 Full Review
