A Goofy Movie (1995) 64% “...overall, the scripting is sharp and emotionally satisfying. Technically, the movie is exhilarating, with rich visual inventiveness, splashy colors and movement that is lively without being frantic. ” – Boston Globe Mar 31, 2025 Full Review Bob Trevino Likes It (2024) 95% “Jones and Leguizamo... have an easy rapport, and the device of snapshots for the scrapbooks gives them a believable past. She endows Jeanie with warmth, and also an elusive quality. ” – Arts Fuse Mar 31, 2025 Full Review Beetlejuice (1988) 83% “The makers of Beetlejuice manage to go beyond pastiche and succeed in creating a unique, wacked-out world. ” – Boston Globe Aug 21, 2024 Full Review The Wings of the Dove (1997) 86% 2.5/4 “This adaptation of one of Henry James’s most psychologically rich novels works on its own lighter terms -- although those terms arguably rip away the very forces that motivate the James characters.” – The Improper Bostonian Aug 6, 2024 Full Review Sick: The Life and Death of Bob Flanagan, Supermasochist (1997) 92% 3.5/4 “This intense and darkly rollicking documentary portrait of a troubled artist is in the heartwarming tradition of Crumb.” – The Improper Bostonian Aug 6, 2024 Full Review John Grisham's The Rainmaker (1997) 82% 1.5/4 “Happily this time people will discover our hometown boy Matt Damon, who gives a superb lead performance in an unfortunately mediocre property. ” – The Improper Bostonian Aug 6, 2024 Full Review Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil (1997) 51% 3/4 “This thriller set in Savannah, Georgia, has enough juicy intrigue to recommend it. But it's got some fault-line flaws that director Clint Eastwood ignores to weave his local-color tapestry.” – The Improper Bostonian Aug 6, 2024 Full Review Kiss or Kill (1997) 84% 2.5/4 “Diverting, but hardly a classic.” – The Improper Bostonian Aug 6, 2024 Full Review Alien Resurrection (1997) 55% 2.5/4 “It has refreshingly sick and twisted humor, bold retro-futurist art direction, adequate gore and a talented cast. Yet its splashes of entertainment don't join up into a coherent narrative; it's sadly sloppy on the story front.” – The Improper Bostonian Aug 6, 2024 Full Review Mission: Impossible (1996) 65% 1.5/4 “What should have been a finely honed spy thriller is on Cruise-control in more ways than one. Or maybe the impossible mission is expecting a coherent movie from director Brian “Setpieces ’R’ Us” De Palma anymore.” – The Improper Bostonian Jul 15, 2024 Full Review A Modern Affair (1995) 1.5/4 “This twist on the romantic comedy genre by Vem Oakley suffers from an agonizingly slow pace and an unnecessarily annoying heroine.” – The Improper Bostonian Jul 15, 2024 Full Review Twister (1996) 67% 3/4 “Yes, the script is cobbled together from a lot of old Howard Hawks movies, but Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton, as the estranged soulmates who rekindle their spark in the eye of the storm, are strong leads, and the supporting cast was well-assembled. ” – The Improper Bostonian Jul 15, 2024 Full Review La Chimera (2023) 95% “[It] celebrates the porousness of borders: between time periods, spiritual realms, and all living beings... The film also posits the strength of connection: the tensile strength of a piece of red yarn can support a passage between states of consciousness.” – Arts Fuse Apr 19, 2024 Full Review The Iron Claw (2023) 89% “Overall, the story is conveyed with laudable technical prowess. It’s well shot and edited, with an especially good montage of the brothers’ rise to stardom.” – Arts Fuse Dec 29, 2023 Full Review Hard-Boiled (1992) 92% “The lush, powerful stylization is far from a mere exercise: It serves Woo's bittersweet mediation on identity and fractured loyalties. ” – Boston Globe Jul 27, 2023 Full Review Batman: Mask of the Phantasm (1993) 83% “The talky psychological aspects are too dull for children to enjoy and too shallow for adults to buy. More importantly, the animation is wooden and seems skimpy for a feature film project. ” – Boston Globe May 23, 2023 Full Review Walk Up (2022) 97% “Walk Up is amusing, and as visually pleasing as any of Hong’s films, with its studies of interior spaces, glimpses of exteriors, and questions about the in-betweens.” – Arts Fuse Apr 21, 2023 Full Review In Front of Your Face (2021) 95% “...part of being a Hong fan is adjusting to not knowing how long it’s been since the last bit of action, or even if the next part might have taken place before it...” – Arts Fuse Apr 21, 2023 Full Review Introduction (2021) 81% “As many a filmmaker has demonstrated (including one of Hong’s idols, Yasujiro Ozu), lyrical shots of the ocean can help induce a feeling of transcendence. This one gave me the improbable tingle.” – Arts Fuse Apr 21, 2023 Full Review Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland (1992) 55% “Although this new film adaptation of Winsor McCay's comic strip has been somewhat homogenized for modern tastes, both in visual style and in storyline, it's a refreshing, mostly marvelous piece of fantasy. ” – Boston Globe Mar 7, 2023 Full Review 2023 Oscar Nominated Shorts - Documentary (2023) 88% “The five entries in this 165-minute session (each running around 30-40 minutes) are worthy contenders.” – Arts Fuse Feb 24, 2023 Full Review 2023 Oscar Nominated Shorts - Live Action (2023) 78% “From allegory to metaphysical exploration to simply meta, or alternatively, displaying trenchant realism, the nominees for this year’s ceremony on March 12 are strong.” – Arts Fuse Feb 17, 2023 Full Review 2023 Oscar Nominated Shorts - Animation (2023) 100% “From allegory to metaphysical exploration to simply meta, or alternatively, displaying trenchant realism, the nominees for this year’s ceremony on March 12 are strong” – Arts Fuse Feb 17, 2023 Full Review Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio (2022) 96% “The voice cast was well-chosen, and they don’t disappoint. Gregory Mann was a great discovery for Pinocchio. His exuberance conveys Pinocchio’s essential innocence, and he sings beautifully.” – Arts Fuse Nov 30, 2022 Full Review Beethoven (1992) 31% “Underlying this formulaic plot is a strange tone of desperateness in the movie's smiley-faced depiction of a "perfect" suburban nuclear family... For a family that's not missing any meals, they do more whimpering than any of the animals in the movie.” – Boston Globe Nov 21, 2022 Full Review
