The Abyss (1989) 76% EDIT “While the special effects are extremely well done, they don't overwhelm the film.” – Movieline Dec 9, 2025 Full Review A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child (1989) 32% EDIT “A pretty tired effort.” – Movieline Sep 16, 2025 Full Review Weekend at Bernie's (1989) 52% EDIT “The film lacks the biting wit that would have made it substantial. ” – Movieline Sep 16, 2025 Full Review Heathers (1989) 95% EDIT “Dan Waters, who wrote the script, is a truly demented talent.” – Movieline Sep 16, 2025 Full Review Black Rain (1989) 52% EDIT “This cop action-thriller is the epitome of style without substance.” – Movieline Sep 16, 2025 Full Review The 'Burbs (1989) 56% EDIT “Tom Hanks, masterful comic actor that he is, is capable of appearing in some pretty mediocre films as he shows us yet again with "The 'Burbs."” – Movieline Sep 16, 2025 Full Review Talk Radio (1988) 84% EDIT “An excellent supporting cast complements Bogosian's one-man show very well.” – Movieline Sep 16, 2025 Full Review The Fly II (1989) 32% EDIT “The film lacks depth -- all the excitement it generates is superficial.” – Movieline Sep 16, 2025 Full Review Tucker: The Man and His Dream (1988) 82% EDIT “It's brilliant but flawed, beautiful to look at, often hard to relate to.” – Movieline Sep 16, 2025 Full Review Dead Ringers (1988) 86% EDIT “David Cronenberg's study in psychological terror is, surprisingly, near-bloodless, and at once disturbing and fascinating. ” – Movieline Sep 16, 2025 Full Review The Two Jakes (1990) 59% EDIT “The Two Jakes is frustratingly complex and baffling.” – Movieline Sep 16, 2025 Full Review Darkman (1990) 80% EDIT “Darkman is truly a comic book sprung to life -- Raimi often seems satisfied with two dimensions instead of three. But within those confines, he's done an admirable job.” – Movieline Aug 25, 2025 Full Review Back to the Future Part II (1989) 63% EDIT “This second time around... is calculated and often tired, technically accomplished but lacking the first's energy and imagination.” – Movieline Aug 19, 2025 Full Review The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! (1988) 88% EDIT “This is the kind of film that defies criticism. It sets out to be one thing only: funny. More often than not, it's hilarious.” – Movieline Jul 24, 2025 Full Review Badlands (1973) 97% EDIT “Sheen works an abundance of meaning into a very small space, so we at least recognize this doomed, erstwhile child as all too human, and appropriately dangerous.” – Movieline Sep 26, 2002 Full Review The Outlaw Josey Wales (1976) 91% EDIT “The truly impressive aspect of Eastwood's Wales is just how broad a range of emotions the actor conveys without forsaking his legendary economy of gesture, or ranging beyond his ultra-macho monotone growl.” – Movieline Nov 13, 2001 Full Review Network (1976) 90% EDIT “A fantastically over-the-top tale.” – Movieline Nov 6, 2001 Full Review Rear Window (1954) 99% EDIT “One of the most profound delights in Hitchcock's masterpiece is the witty, seductive performance Kelly fashions as she slyly campaigns to convince Stewart that, in all her perfection, she's just as 'bad' as Miss Torso.” – Movieline Nov 6, 2001 Full Review Apocalypse Now (1979) 91% EDIT “Duvall's lifeguard-turned-gonzo-warrior Lt. Colonel Kilgore is the one substantial presence that keeps Apocalypse Now from floating away on its own ambivalent impulses even earlier than it does.” – Movieline Nov 6, 2001 Full Review
