Hook (1991) 37% EDIT “Hook is absolutely killed by a nonstop, gushy, lushy, warbling heavenly choirs-filled music track by John Williams. This one would have embarrassed even Max Steiner in his heyday with its soporific over-indulgence.” – Bay Area Reporter Dec 19, 2025 Full Review Postcards From the Edge (1990) 83% EDIT “Easily the most horribly lit film in recent memory, Nichols... seems determined to ensure repugnance for every image he constructs.” – Bay Area Reporter Apr 29, 2024 Full Review The Last of the Mohicans (1992) 88% EDIT “Despite some crucial lapses, there's enough breathtaking cinema and sweeping vision in Michael Mann's new adaptation of James Fenimore Cooper's The Last of the Mohicans to make it well worth tracking down.” – Bay Area Reporter Dec 14, 2023 Full Review Goodfellas (1990) 93% EDIT “The only argument you’re bound to get into concerning Martin Scorsese’s GoodFellas is the degree of its greatness -- if it’s the most brilliant cinematic tour de force of the decade or merely this year. After 10 minutes I felt I had already seen 25 films.” – Bay Area Reporter Oct 18, 2023 Full Review Darkman (1990) 80% EDIT “Because nothing in the movie builds, or is placed, or is set off against any other switch position than "Full Throttle," it's exhausting in a not exhilarating way. ” – Bay Area Reporter Oct 17, 2023 Full Review Dances With Wolves (1990) 87% EDIT “There's a quirkiness and idiosyncratic nerve in gear here that sets Dances with Wolves apart from the Western, the historical saga, the epic -- though it nevertheless shares aspects of all those genres too. ” – Bay Area Reporter Nov 3, 2022 Full Review The Silence of the Lambs (1991) 95% EDIT “Grand Guignol is too mild an expression for a work in which every scene is an exercise in repulsion. But I couldn't wait for what happened next and would have to admit that this is an excellent, if morally reprehensible, film.” – Bay Area Reporter Mar 23, 2022 Full Review Reversal of Fortune (1990) 92% EDIT “Though weak in several vital departments, the intricate structure of the film is so compellingly offbeat and the acting so overwhelmingly first-rate, that any reservations are eventually swept aside.” – Bay Area Reporter Jun 17, 2020 Full Review 1900 (1976) 52% EDIT “The totality is problematic, but there is enough great cinema to make this an absolute must for all cineastes.” – Bay Area Reporter May 22, 2020 Full Review Sink or Swim (1990) EDIT “Sink or Swim is a deft, astute and accomplished investigation of familiar relationships.” – Bay Area Reporter May 22, 2020 Full Review Paris Is Burning (1990) 98% EDIT “Not since Andy Warhol's The Chelsea Girls have I been so taken and fascinated by such a gallery of real-life, stunningly etched characters.” – Bay Area Reporter May 19, 2020 Full Review
