House (1985) 49% 2/4 EDIT “"House" is inoffensive and it's sometimes funny.” – Tulsa World Jan 31, 2026 Full Review Stand by Me (1986) 88% 2.5/4 EDIT “Unabashedly sweet and sentimental, "Stand By Me" is sometimes mawkish, often obvious and frequently refreshing.” – Tulsa World Jan 13, 2026 Full Review The Terminator (1984) 90% 3/4 EDIT “The movie is a science fiction comic book that blasts off with nearly everything a self-respecting pulp magazine should have -- plenty of action, colorful characters, comedy and over-dramatic dialogue.” – Tulsa World Dec 8, 2025 Full Review Desert Hearts (1985) 77% 2/4 EDIT “Despite having a lot to offer, including a wonderful cast and intriguing characters, Desert Hearts will likely leave even the most open-minded viewer vaguely dissatisfied. ” – Tulsa World Oct 13, 2025 Full Review The Return of the Living Dead (1985) 71% 2/4 EDIT “Some funny moments, and occasional suspense, but it’s hard to satirize a genre that is itself a satire.” – Tulsa World Aug 13, 2025 Full Review Explorers (1985) 49% 2.5/4 EDIT “Explorers is a journey back to the fantasies of youth. The road, unfortunately, is rugged in almost as many spots as it is smooth.” – Tulsa World Jul 10, 2025 Full Review Superman III (1983) 31% EDIT “It's neither bird nor plane, nor super sequel. It's Superman III, and it flies the lowest of three films featuring the strong-but sensitive stud. ” – Tulsa World Jul 8, 2025 Full Review Return to Oz (1985) 59% 2.5/4 EDIT “"Return to Oz" is a neat segue back to L. Frank Baum's original vision of Oz.” – Tulsa World Jun 17, 2025 Full Review The Karate Kid Part II (1986) 49% 3/4 EDIT “The movie sags near the end, but like Daniel in the first movie, it makes a high-kicking comeback. ” – Tulsa World May 28, 2025 Full Review The Karate Kid (1984) 81% 2/4 EDIT “The Karate Kid is a film for kids, a Don Quixote comic book of a movie that takes a few sly punches at the martial arts without blocking hope for heroism that karate often brings. ” – Tulsa World May 27, 2025 Full Review Starman (1984) 83% 2.5/4 EDIT “"Starman" is touching, gently sexy, poignant. As science fiction, however, it's a predictable "E.T." clone all the way.” – Tulsa World May 13, 2025 Full Review Back to School (1986) 81% 2/4 EDIT “"Back to School" is a one-joke movie made bearable by a steady stream of one-liners and Dangerfield's lovably hapless personality.” – Tulsa World Feb 27, 2025 Full Review The Breakfast Club (1985) 87% 3/4 EDIT “Wake up moviegoers. It's time for a fresh and delicious cup of cinematic coffee, namely The Breakfast Club... A high-rise bridge between the usual, juvenile teen movies and the kind of adult entertainment everyone can enjoy.” – Tulsa World Feb 14, 2025 Full Review Blue Velvet (1986) 91% 2/4 EDIT “"I don't know if you're a detective or a pervert," a woman whispers to the hero of Blue Velvet. Many viewers are likely to have the same question about writer and director David Lynch.” – Tulsa World Jan 21, 2025 Full Review Aliens (1986) 94% 4/4 EDIT “There is warmth without sentimentality. There is humor, but it never breaks the tension. Most of all, there are special effects that move the audience into another world.” – Tulsa World Jul 30, 2024 Full Review Dune (1984) 36% 2/4 EDIT “Dune does a good job of introducing us to another solar system, but it is full of such soap-opera dialogue and pretentious seriousness that many won't find it worth the trip. ” – Tulsa World Feb 15, 2024 Full Review The Color Purple (1985) 73% 3/4 EDIT “Steven Spielberg has done the impossible... he has made a crowd-pleasing movie from a book that many literary critics thought would never reach the silver screen.” – Tulsa World May 31, 2023 Full Review An American Tail (1986) 76% 3/4 EDIT “The story is simple enough for children while including enough winking historical references to keep adults interested. An American Tail may not be tip top, but it does much more than simply squeak by.” – Tulsa World May 17, 2023 Full Review Moscow on the Hudson (1984) 74% 3/4 EDIT “A bittersweet charmer.” – Tulsa World Oct 23, 2004 Full Review
