See No Evil, Hear No Evil (1989) Ron Wolfe [See No Evil, Hear No Evil] starts with just the two jokes of Pryor's blindness and Wilder's deafness. Then, it narrows to the one joke of Wilder being Pryor's eyes, Pryor being Wilder's ears. After awhile, it limps along in repetition.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992) Brad Phelps The result is a complete incompleteness, a smorgasbord of mixed metaphors. It isn't seriously funny or funnily serious. It's seriously confusing.

Edward Scissorhands (1990) Ron Wolfe A bittersweet fable with a satiric edge.

UHF (1989) Ron Wolfe UHF is a reference to the faltering television station that "Weird Al" Yankovic's character is trying to salvage with a line-up of weird shows. But the letters in the title of this filmed-in-Tulsa comedy could also mean Unlikely Homemade Fun.

Pink Cadillac (1989) Ron Wolfe Pink Cadillac is a vehicle that never does pick up much speed. The reason could be that it is hauling too heavy a load of the usual bad guys for Eastwood to knock down.

Dead Again (1991) Ron Wolfe The story finally twists and turns its way beyond the outer limits of probability, but Dead Again zings with a sheer joy in the process of movie-making, and with a respect for the genre that Hitchcock established.

She-Devil (1989) Ron Wolfe Can Streep play comedy? O' my!

Who's Harry Crumb? (1989) Ron Wolfe Candy is a talented man who should be getting better parts in the movies.

The Bonfire of the Vanities (1990) Ron Wolfe The Bonfire of the Vanities is a false alarm, all smoke and not enough fire to toast a marshmallow.

Brightness (1987) Ron Wolfe [It's] the kind of foreign movie that defies a rating system of "good" or "poor." It could be a film of high interest for the right audience, but most people aren't going to find much reason to stay awake for this hour and 45 minutes of spell-casting.

Leatherface: Texas Chainsaw Massacre III (1990) Ron Wolfe The chainsaw is a marvel that starts on the first pull every time. The rest of Leatherface: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre III is a rough-hewn movie that doesn't always work so well, but it has its moments strictly for an audience of horror hounds.

The Masque of the Red Death (1990) Ron Wolfe Masque of the Red Death" is a Halloween treat that comes wrapped in a crinkly foil of nostalgia for horror movie fans.

Almost an Angel (1990) Ron Wolfe Almost an Angel is almost a movie, but it could have been an episode of TV's Highway to Heaven just as well.

Let's Get Lost (1988) Ron Wolfe Let's Get Lost is a film as sweet, seductive and heartbreaking as the sound of Chet Baker's trumpet -- the story of a man for whom music came easy, but life came hard.

Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977) David Jones Star Wars is exhilarating entertainment. It probably is the best family film to come along for a decade. I wonder what would have been its top competition as best family film in a decade.

Awakenings (1990) Brad Phelps Director Penny Marshall carefully underplays the movie's tone of spiritual triumph.

Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (1991) Brad Phelps Costner must be judged by the Wimp Factor.

Dances With Wolves (1990) Ron Wolfe Dances With Wolves is flat-out the year's best movie to date.

Blaze (1989) Ron Wolfe Maybe Blaze is too pure, and the governor too outrageous to be true. But Shelton works their story into a romantic tall tale as beguiling as the spin of the lady's tassels.

JFK (1991) Brad Phelps JFK undeniably is well crafted and exhilarating. But it comes equipped with the biggest movie caveat emptor on record -- the historical context is Stone's and Stone's alone.

Back to the Future Part II (1989) Ron Wolfe A dismal and mean-spirited sequel to one of the best movies of the 1980s.

Cry Baby (1990) Ron Wolfe It has a great score of obscure '50s rock and doo-wop. It has the candy-colored look of a '50s musical. What it doesn't have is a moment of anything that seems remotely real.

Repentance (1984) Diana Nelson Jones It signifies a Soviet Union coming to terms with its past.

Boyz N the Hood (1991) Brad Phelps Singleton's movie mixes frail hope and overwhelming despair, a search for a corner of sanity in a mad world.

Unforgiven (1992) James D. Watts Jr. It's a long, hard ride, but it's worth getting to the trail's end.

Major League (1989) Ron Wolfe Major League smacks a solid base hit when the players decide their best revenge against the team's owner would be to win the American League pennant. It doubles when these guys begin to come together as a real team.

Total Recall (1990) Ron Wolfe Total Recall won't leave you with a lot to remember, but this science fiction shoot-'em-up is as good a way as any to forget about life's cares on a summer day.
