New Jack City (1991) 81% 3/4 EDIT “It's a mess, but there's so much raw talent on display in this movie that I urge you to see it.” – Southern Voice (Atlanta) May 9, 2023 Full Review The Doors (1991) 57% 1/4 EDIT “A bomb.” – Southern Voice (Atlanta) May 9, 2023 Full Review Longtime Companion (1990) 92% 3/4 EDIT “It's an ambitious approach... but Rene and Lucas gamble that by dramatizing the effects of AIDS on singular characters rather than generic representations, they will humanize the disease in a way that statistics cannot. Their gamble pays off.” – Southern Voice (Atlanta) May 9, 2023 Full Review A Rage in Harlem (1991) 68% 2.5/4 EDIT “Givens is nothing short of spectacular.” – Southern Voice (Atlanta) May 9, 2023 Full Review Impromptu (1991) 74% 3.5/4 EDIT “Pure pleasure.” – Southern Voice (Atlanta) May 9, 2023 Full Review Switch (1991) 26% 0/4 EDIT “Switch represents a new low for all concerned.” – Southern Voice (Atlanta) May 9, 2023 Full Review Madonna: Truth or Dare (1991) 86% 3/4 EDIT “Decadent good fun.” – Southern Voice (Atlanta) May 9, 2023 Full Review Dead Again (1991) 81% 2/4 EDIT “A considerable disappointment.” – Southern Voice (Atlanta) May 9, 2023 Full Review The Freshman (1990) 94% 3.5/4 EDIT “The process of our watching the film is happy acquiescence. ” – Southern Voice (Atlanta) May 9, 2023 Full Review Mobsters (1991) 9% 1.5/4 EDIT “A kiddie gangster movie that appears to have been cast by the Ford Modeling Agency, dressed by the editors of GQ, and written by the marketing department of some cheesy brokerage house currently under investigation.” – Southern Voice (Atlanta) May 9, 2023 Full Review Point Break (1991) 68% 0.5/4 EDIT “Moronic West Coast dialogue, the very latest in MTV editing, and a young woman surfer abducted from her bedroom in a clinging white slip, who gets threatened with being "gutted" unless a man can save her.” – Southern Voice (Atlanta) May 9, 2023 Full Review Regarding Henry (1991) 49% 1.5/4 EDIT “Nichols, who directed Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf and The Graduate, takes grave and serious issues and gives them the West Coast treatment, placing him within hailing distance of becoming an industry-for-hire hack.” – Southern Voice (Atlanta) May 9, 2023 Full Review Tatie Danielle (1990) 100% 3/4 EDIT “Hard as a diamond.” – Southern Voice (Atlanta) May 9, 2023 Full Review Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) 91% 1.5/4 EDIT “The movie amounts to one long, long chase scene, and damned if the American public isn't lapping it up as if it were something special.” – Southern Voice (Atlanta) May 9, 2023 Full Review Defending Your Life (1991) 92% 2.5/4 EDIT “Brooks manages to wring some laughs out of admittedly banal material, and the film is socially on target in some of its satire. The casting is very fine. Meryl Streep brings humor and flashes of authentic feeling to her role.” – Southern Voice (Atlanta) May 9, 2023 Full Review The Silence of the Lambs (1991) 95% EDIT “Most books, plays or films never give us even this much. Yet The Silence of the Lambs gives us so much that it's a shame the film doesn't find ways to deepen its concentration on the colossal aberrance of the minds of its complementary terrors.” – Southern Voice (Atlanta) May 9, 2023 Full Review The Marrying Man (1991) 10% 1/4 EDIT “Baldwin and Basinger, for all the passion of their reported off screen romance, have virtually no rapport together on screen. They appear to express their contempt for the material by simply walking through their roles. ” – Southern Voice (Atlanta) May 9, 2023 Full Review The Godfather, Part III (1990) 66% 2/4 EDIT “Starts off strong, becomes bogged down in expository dialogue, and finishes with an anti-climactic climax. ” – Southern Voice (Atlanta) May 9, 2023 Full Review The Bonfire of the Vanities (1990) 15% 0/4 EDIT “Destroys the form of the original alright, but it also destroys the book's themes in their entirety.” – Southern Voice (Atlanta) May 9, 2023 Full Review Metropolitan (1990) 94% 3.5/4 EDIT “The writer-director Whit Stillman achieves a rarified atmosphere in his first film: the intellectual and social interaction among a group of Park Avenue socialites during the Christmas debutante season.” – Southern Voice (Atlanta) May 9, 2023 Full Review The Witches (1990) 94% 3.5/4 EDIT “Anjelica Huston is an extravagantly gifted actress.” – Southern Voice (Atlanta) May 9, 2023 Full Review After Dark, My Sweet (1990) 80% 1.5/4 EDIT “The film gets mired in unbelievable plot twists, and the screenplay wallows in a lot of phony angst.” – Southern Voice (Atlanta) May 9, 2023 Full Review Days of Thunder (1990) 38% 0.5/4 EDIT “Some members of the audience I attended for Days of Thunder snickered at the mythologizing of the young actor on the screen. Tom Cruise would be wise to pay heed to such derision. ” – Southern Voice (Atlanta) May 9, 2023 Full Review Betsy's Wedding (1990) 56% 2/4 EDIT “Nothing in this film is new, original or convincing. It carries a strong whiff of Neil Simon's dreadful Plaza Suite in both its plotting and its dialogue, which are overarch by half. But Molly Ringwald and Ally Sheedy as her sister are lovely. ” – Southern Voice (Atlanta) May 9, 2023 Full Review The Sheltering Sky (1990) 45% 1.5/4 EDIT “The picture is cleanly directed but lacks the visual excitement and emotional resonance of even lesser Bertuloci Films. ” – Southern Voice (Atlanta) May 9, 2023 Full Review
