Scream 3 (2000) 43% 2/5 “It's art imitating life imitating art. Tacky art. ” – Montreal Gazette Feb 20, 2025 Full Review The Lion King (1994) 93% “This is one of those rare coming-of-age-epics that is genuinely funny, funky, frightening, enchanting, romantic, and fraught with intrigue. ” – Montreal Gazette Dec 19, 2024 Full Review Aladdin (1992) 96% 4/5 “Aladdin has all the elements: action, intrigue, romance, music and comedy. Not just light, cute, well-mannered comedy, either. We're talking side-splitting, roll-in-the-aisles, spit-up-your-popcorn comedy.” – Montreal Gazette Dec 16, 2024 Full Review Beetlejuice (1988) 83% 3.5/5 “Undeniably silly, but satisfying and effective all the same. ” – Montreal Gazette Aug 22, 2024 Full Review Alien 3 (1992) 44% “It's ooky and it's spooky. And it just might make you feel pukey. And those are its good qualities.” – Montreal Gazette Jul 31, 2024 Full Review Postcards From the Edge (1990) 83% “How is it possible for so many good actors to grate so badly in one movie?” – Montreal Gazette Apr 29, 2024 Full Review Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977) 90% “This movie is unquestionably a visual delight. Not since Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey has film technology been better served.” – Montreal Gazette Apr 3, 2024 Full Review The Shawshank Redemption (1994) 89% 4/5 “"Shawshank," like precious few films in the genre, brings a dignity, strength and compassion that has become all too rare on the screen these days.” – Montreal Gazette Mar 2, 2024 Full Review Forrest Gump (1994) 75% 3.5/5 “When director Robert Zemeckis decides not to numb us with the unnecessary lingering melodrama, he manages to move us for the right reasons with super story quirks, old-fashioned romance and hysterically funny irony.” – Montreal Gazette Mar 1, 2024 Full Review Grease (1978) 66% 1/5 “After the thrill of spotting flashers from the past -- Stockard Channing, Sid Caesar, Frankie Avalon and Sha-Na-Na -- goes away, most viewers will find themselves squirming painfully in their seats. ” – Montreal Gazette Feb 6, 2024 Full Review Heat (1995) 83% 4/5 “It's called acting. And it can elevate a simple cops-and-robbers tale into an electrifying film experience. The film is called Heat. And, appropriately, its stars generate enough Heat to steam up a sauna.” – Montreal Gazette Dec 20, 2023 Full Review Batman (1989) 77% 3.5/5 “Nicholson's unhinged brilliance sets the tone for the much-ballyhooed Batman. It's nasty stuff. This is not the camp cartoon classic of comic books and 온라인카지노추천 that millions of kids have been weaned on. This is psycho-comedy in the purest sense.” – Montreal Gazette Jul 25, 2023 Full Review Honey, I Shrunk the Kids (1989) 76% 2.5/5 “No matter what kind of consciousness-raising posture its makers may take, "Honey" is more a triumph of special effects than a social statement. ” – Montreal Gazette Jul 25, 2023 Full Review A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (1987) 68% “Some have called it classic gothic horror. Others say it's merely grotesque. Go with the latter group. ” – Montreal Gazette Jul 18, 2023 Full Review Magnolia (1999) 82% 2.5/5 “It is no one's notion of breezy fantasy. Rather, it is as grim as a .357 Magnum to the temple and about as funny.” – Montreal Gazette Jul 14, 2023 Full Review Patriot Games (1992) 72% 3/5 “Director Phillip Noyce navigates through delicate diplomatic waters and has crafted a picture that does get the heart pounding. That's good. In fact, that even compensates for an otherwise implausible plot.” – Montreal Gazette Jun 6, 2023 Full Review Girlfriends (1978) 93% “Girlfriends' accent is definitely not on action, and this account of the strained relationship of two roommates can get downright sluggish at times. Nevertheless, Weill does succeed in creating a very believable drama.” – Montreal Gazette May 17, 2023 Full Review Crossing Delancey (1988) 82% 4/4 “For his part, Riegert contributes another superbly understated performance -- one, no doubt, that will further solidify his position as one of the most underrated U.S. actors on the scene today.” – Montreal Gazette May 16, 2023 Full Review Grand Theft Auto (1977) 27% “The resulting 90-minute demolition derby is one of the most tedious ever assembled on screen. ” – Montreal Gazette Mar 7, 2023 Full Review Tentacles (1977) 0% “More lamentable than this snacking squid is watching Shelley Winters, John Huston and Henry Fonda earn a living by going through the motions in their respective roles. ” – Montreal Gazette Mar 7, 2023 Full Review One Sings, the Other Doesn't (1977) 65% “What is regrettable is that Varda obviously knows how to make films. [One Sings, the Other Doesn't] is well constructed and beautifully photographed, however, all this is lost in the one dimensional characterization. ” – Montreal Gazette Mar 7, 2023 Full Review The Big Lebowski (1998) 80% “The Big Lebowski is, simply put, the sort of stylized lark that would land most other filmmakers in the gutter (or the asylum) for good. But on the Coen brothers, it looks good. ” – Montreal Gazette Jan 21, 2023 Full Review Groundhog Day (1993) 94% 3.5/5 “It's unlikely anyone but the maniacal Murray could have pulled this film off. He is one of the few actors around who can crack up an audience just lying alone in bed -- asleep.” – Montreal Gazette Dec 21, 2022 Full Review The Land Before Time (1988) 65% “Steven Spielberg and George Lucas have joined forces to produce an animated treat for younger audiences, usually left out in the cold by filmmakers this time of the year. ” – Montreal Gazette Aug 23, 2022 Full Review Platoon (1986) 89% 5/5 “Stone makes no bones. He sets out to jar and disturb -- and he succeeds. He conveys the horror and insanity in no uncertain terms.” – Montreal Gazette Aug 22, 2022 Full Review
