North (1994) 12% 2/4 EDIT “A stylish but ultimately disappointing comedy fantasy from the usually dependable Rob Reiner.” – Flint Journal Jan 24, 2026 Full Review Misery (1990) 87% 3.5/4 EDIT “Screenwriter William Goldman has provided a rare on-target King adaptation, and Reiner deftly keeps the mood swinging between laughter and suspense.” – Flint Journal Jan 22, 2026 Full Review The American President (1995) 90% 3/4 EDIT “The leads may bee too squeaky-clean to be totally convincing, and the finale will be too preachy for some, but overall The American President looks like a November winner. ” – Flint Journal Jan 21, 2026 Full Review The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003) 94% 4/4 EDIT “The wait is over for Lord of the Rings fans, and The Return of the King has made it all worthwhile.” – Flint Journal Jan 14, 2026 Full Review The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002) 95% 3.5/4 EDIT “The Two Towers suffers slightly from its "middleness" -- there is no real beginning and no real ending... But the visuals are dazzling, the acting dependable and "Rings" devotees will delight in the attention to detail.” – Flint Journal Jan 13, 2026 Full Review The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) 91% 4/4 EDIT “It isn't just that The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring is a quality adaptation of the J.R.R. Tolkien fantasy novel. Heck, it's the year's best adventure film of any kind. ” – Flint Journal Jan 13, 2026 Full Review A Few Good Men (1992) 85% 3.5/4 EDIT “Reiner's direction is crisp and straight-forward. With the help of Sorkin...he's turned a series of talky, and potentially boring, scenes (there is almost no real action to speak of) into well-paced, absorbing, highly entertaining drama.” – Flint Journal Jan 7, 2026 Full Review Hook (1991) 37% 2/4 EDIT “The sets and special effects are dazzling, and the costumes are beautiful. But, apparently to justify this obscene expenditure, there's too much of everything -- except visceral satisfaction.” – Flint Journal Dec 18, 2025 Full Review Boogie Nights (1997) 91% 3/4 EDIT “[Paul Thomas Anderson] mainly succeeds in a difficult task: to bring depth and humanity to the participants in one of the culture's most socially undersirable activities -- and without glamorizing them or it.” – Flint Journal Sep 24, 2025 Full Review Spider-Man (2002) 90% 3/4 EDIT “The teen-angst angle, well handled by Maguire and Michigan-bred director Sam Raimi, gives the first hour of Spider-Man thematic heft without taking itself too seriously. ” – Flint Journal Sep 24, 2025 Full Review Toy Story (1995) 100% 3.5/4 EDIT “Attractive computer animation, on-target humor and well-cast celebrity voices help the comedy adventure appeal the comedy adventure appeal to grown-ups nearly as much as their kiddies.” – Flint Journal Sep 9, 2025 Full Review Mission: Impossible (1996) 67% 3.5/4 EDIT “To enjoy "Mission: Impossible" is less to analyze it than to wallow in its often breakneck pace and sophisticated production values. ” – Flint Journal Aug 19, 2025 Full Review Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002) 62% 3/4 EDIT “"Attack of the Clones" has a lot of plot to pack into its 145 minutes, and so the film feels flat and perfunctory at times.” – Flint Journal Aug 19, 2025 Full Review Braveheart (1995) 76% EDIT “Braveheart has all the right ingredients for a rip-roaring saga, but Gibson overcooks the mix. The snail's-pace storytelling, overemphasis on scenery and awkward semi-mysticism scream "epic," but this film too often forgets to entertain.” – Flint Journal Aug 7, 2025 Full Review Waterworld (1995) 60% 3.5/4 EDIT “Costner is an appropriately stolid hero. ” – Flint Journal Jul 28, 2025 Full Review Babe (1995) 98% 3/4 EDIT “"Babe" has a nice moral - everyone has a purpose - for the kids, but adults will like its loopy sense of humor...” – Flint Journal Jul 23, 2025 Full Review The Naked Gun 2 1/2: The Smell of Fear (1991) 77% 2.5/4 EDIT “The socially conscious script is a bit preachy, and the climax isn't as rewarding as the baseball-game finish of the first "Gun." But who's to quibble, when the jokes come fast and furious.” – Flint Journal Jul 23, 2025 Full Review
