Muppet Treasure Island (1996) 80% 2.5/4 EDIT “Muppet Treasure Island is such an amazing technical achievement that one wishes it were more entertaining. Still, given the relatively low quality of most children's films, Treasure Island will fill the bill.” – Gannett News Service Feb 12, 2026 Full Review Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000) 96% 4/4 EDIT “You've never seen a movie like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon before. It's hard to imagine a better movie -- in English or any other language -- this year.” – Journal News (Westchester, NY) Feb 11, 2026 Full Review Erin Brockovich (2000) 87% 3.5/4 EDIT “Erin Brockovich is both funny and involving, a David-and-Goliath story that's less about showing the big contest than providing a character study of an underdog. But this underdog's bite definitely matches her bark. ” – Journal News (Westchester, NY) Feb 6, 2026 Full Review The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003) 94% A EDIT “Like the first two films in this series, it feels complete in itself. But it also serves as a rousing finale to what will stand as a towering film achievement.” – Journal News (Westchester, NY) Jan 14, 2026 Full Review Stand by Me (1986) 88% EDIT “For the first time in a long time, a movie offers a portrait of kids that is neither demeaning nor dumb. It shows a clear memory for thrill and pain of those awkward, wonderful years.” – Gannett News Service Jan 13, 2026 Full Review The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) 91% A EDIT “The film's amazing imagery and ensemble cast supplement and enhance what has been distilled into a headlong adventure that fairly flies by... How [Peter Jackson] extracted this film from Tolkien's tedious prose is the real magic.” – Journal News (Westchester, NY) Jan 13, 2026 Full Review A Few Good Men (1992) 85% 3.5/4 EDIT “"A Few Good Men" is rousing entertainment with more than cheap thrills on its mind. ” – Journal News (Westchester, NY) Jan 8, 2026 Full Review When Harry Met Sally... (1989) 90% 3.5/4 EDIT “Reiner, working with a strong cast and an even stronger script (by Nora Ephron) blends sweetness and satire in this telling and truthful film that is both entertaining and painfully honest.” – Gannett News Service Jan 6, 2026 Full Review Hook (1991) 37% EDIT “Fortunately, that second half is a lulu. It is what one wants from Hook: wit, visual brilliance, heart-tugging emotion. And it more than makes up for the jogging in place of the film's first half.” – Journal News (Westchester, NY) Dec 19, 2025 Full Review Christine (1983) 72% EDIT “The film is entertaining in a flashy, high-speed way. But it skimps on its assets.” – Gannett News Service Dec 16, 2025 Full Review True Lies (1994) 77% 3.5/4 EDIT “True Lies is James Bond with a home life. And therein lies its greatest strength. ” – Gannett News Service Dec 9, 2025 Full Review Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) 91% 4/4 EDIT “"Terminator 2: Judgment Day" isn't just best film of the summer; it is the standard by which action films of the future will be judged.” – Gannett News Service Dec 9, 2025 Full Review From Beyond (1986) 74% EDIT “Gordon is obviously having a wonderful time imagining this gruesome folic. He invests it with such energy that you're swept away by the sheer, breathless pace of it all.” – Gannett News Service Oct 20, 2025 Full Review The Celluloid Closet (1995) 96% 9/10 EDIT “The film traces the way gay images secretly found its way into mainstream films until, finally in the 1960s and beyond, gay themes could be dealt with openly. ” – Gannett News Service Oct 8, 2025 Full Review Casper (1995) 59% 2.5/4 EDIT “Sure to delight children, it will, at best, hold adults' attention by virtue of its state-of-the-art computer-generated effects.” – Gannett News Service Sep 29, 2025 Full Review Boogie Nights (1997) 91% 3.5/4 EDIT “Boogie Nights is sprawling and audacious, a wildly entertaining ride that also serves as a cautionary tale and, in many ways, a historical document.” – Journal News (Westchester, NY) Sep 24, 2025 Full Review To Sleep With Anger (1990) 93% 2.5/4 EDIT “Burnett's move-making is often clumsy and stilted.” – Gannett News Service Sep 23, 2025 Full Review Toy Story (1995) 100% 4/4 EDIT “The intensity of the visual experience is potent, even intoxicating. It's so strong that the toys look real. ” – Journal News (Westchester, NY) Sep 10, 2025 Full Review This Is Spinal Tap (1984) 98% 4/4 EDIT “Reiner perfectly creates the sense of unexpected disaster caught fortuitously on film.” – Journal News (Westchester, NY) Sep 9, 2025 Full Review Requiem for a Dream (2000) 80% 3.5/4 EDIT “Burstyn's performance is particularly harrowing, a terrifying look at the unintended consequences of the pursuit of fame.” – Journal News (Westchester, NY) Aug 21, 2025 Full Review Braveheart (1995) 76% 3/4 EDIT “An ambitious and satisfying endeavor that establishes Mel Gibson as a director of strength and vision. Though his reach ultimately exceeds his grasp, it's a film that's worth the effort.” – Journal News (Westchester, NY) Aug 7, 2025 Full Review Pee-wee's Big Adventure (1985) 78% EDIT “The blend of fantasy and surrealism gives everything a larger-than-life quality, like viewing the world through child's eyes. ” – Gannett News Service Jul 30, 2025 Full Review The Naked Gun 2 1/2: The Smell of Fear (1991) 77% 3/4 EDIT “Verbal, slapstick, silly, sophisticated, vulgar, refined: There's a joke for every taste in The Naked Gun 2½: The Smell of Fear.” – Gannett News Service Jul 22, 2025 Full Review Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult (1994) 66% EDIT “High camp, low slapstick, gross-out humor, sophisticated satire: This movie has it all.” – Gannett News Service Jul 22, 2025 Full Review DuckTales, the Movie: Treasure of the Lost Lamp (1990) 65% 3/4 EDIT “The story moves quickly and imaginatively through the out-of-kilter world of Scrooge McDuck and the altered reality the genie creates.” – Gannett News Service Jul 17, 2025 Full Review
