The Return of the Living Dead (1985) 71% EDIT “It's true the script tells much the same story as George Romero's 1968 horror classic... but linking the two movies by means of similar titles amounts to cheap exploitation.” – Ottawa Citizen Aug 13, 2025 Full Review Supergirl (1984) 19% EDIT “The short verdict is that while Supergirl has some interesting moments, they don't add up to enough to make the movie worth while.” – Ottawa Citizen Jun 27, 2025 Full Review Return to Oz (1985) 59% EDIT “While it's not a bad movie by any means, it just doesn't have the magic.” – Ottawa Citizen Jun 17, 2025 Full Review Fandango (1985) 70% EDIT “Reynolds doesn't have much to add to the genre, but his script is very strong and very sensitive to the young men's feelings and their relationships.” – Ottawa Citizen May 19, 2025 Full Review Starman (1984) 83% EDIT “Director Carpenter never loses sight of the basic requirement -- he tells a good story, one with depth, truth and beauty, and he tells it well.” – Ottawa Citizen May 13, 2025 Full Review Back to School (1986) 81% EDIT “...Dangerfield gets to mug and pop his eyes and do his funny walk, but in moderation, and these bits of business are integrated into a story in which the Dangerfield comic personality has room to do more than deliver put downs and punchlines...” – Ottawa Citizen Feb 27, 2025 Full Review A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (1987) 68% EDIT “It's a perverse tribute to the skills of actor Robert Englund that Freddy has become a cult hero, but with any luck we've seen the last of Freddy and his nightmare. ” – Ottawa Citizen Jul 25, 2023 Full Review Poltergeist II (1986) 20% EDIT “The special effects for Kane and his followers are a chilling combination of ghostly wisps and liquefying flesh. But the director, Brian Gibson, relies too much on the crude shock value of these effects and too little on suggestion.” – Ottawa Citizen Nov 2, 2021 Full Review
