Deadly Friend (1986) |
There are plenty of shocks, and even a tinge of sadness, in this nifty little thriller, but not enough razor-edge electricity. - Los Angeles Times

From the Hip (1987) |
It's such an embarrassingly lame comedy that you could easily imagine some mischievous attorney filing suit -- for defamation of the entire profession. - Los Angeles Times

Crimes of Passion (1984) |
Turner acts if she's auditioning for some loopy Mae West impersonation contest. Eyes wide and nostrils flaring, she looks like a doe caught in the glare of a hunter's headlights. Perkins is her perfect body double. - Los Angeles Times

Sex Ed (2014) |
"Sex Ed" is a likable little comedy that features such a well-conceived and portrayed main character it makes up for the film's slender concept and leaps in logic. - Los Angeles Times

Dangerously Close (1986) |
Dangerously Close is more than just a stylish shocker. It captures the ugly underside of a new teen-age obsession, forcing us to marvel at its ferocity and shudder at its possible consequences. - Los Angeles Times

Pretty in Pink (1986) |
These kids have a bumpy ride, but this is one film that identifies with their passions instead of indulging them, giving us a perfect back-seat view of kids out cruising, not for kicks but for a hard-earned sense of pride. - Los Angeles Times

American Anthem (1986) |
It's a pretty ridiculous story, and screenwriters Evan Archerd and Jeff Benjamin never figure out a way to generate any real suspense, drama or inspiration. - Los Angeles Times

Three Amigos! (1986) |
[Three Amigos is] a goofy delight. It's like a cross between a big-budget Three Stooges movie and a Hope-Crosby road picture, with dozens of old cowpoke gags thrown in to spice up the brew. - Los Angeles Times

Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986) |
What should've been a joyful romp turns into a stale, sour-edged celebration of the New Conformist, an affluent, technology-addled cherub without a rebellious whim in his brain. - Los Angeles Times

The Fly (1986) |
What makes The Fly such a stunning piece of obsessive film making is the way Cronenberg deftly allows us to identify with his monstrous creation. - Los Angeles Times
