Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983) 83% 3/5 “Find a theater with a big screen and great digital sound system and enjoy the ride.” – Arizona Republic Apr 25, 2025 Full Review Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980) 93% 4/5 “A sequel that tops the original because it's zippier, more adventurous and makes better use of special effects -- both old and new -- to enhance the story.” – Arizona Republic Apr 23, 2025 Full Review Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977) 94% 3/5 “It's fun to see Star Wars again. But it reminds me that so many great works of science fiction have never been filmed because they've been short-circuited by the dominance of Star Wars' and Star Trek's simplistic approach to the universe's potentials.” – Arizona Republic Apr 22, 2025 Full Review Scream 2 (1997) 82% 2/5 “[Craven's] pomposity makes the movie boring in between all the chill-and-gag moments. ” – Arizona Republic Feb 5, 2025 Full Review Mulan (1998) 92% 3/5 “It's puzzling that experienced filmmakers who could craft a kids picture as lively and entertaining as Mulan could have trouble snipping out the objectionable bits.” – Arizona Republic Dec 20, 2024 Full Review The Lion King (1994) 93% 3/5 “The artwork is stunning, and the story is a skillful mix of drama, comedy music, and message. ” – Arizona Republic Dec 19, 2024 Full Review Hercules (1997) 83% 4/5 “Students of Greek mythology may have some problems with Disney's legendary liberties taken with the story. But kids and most everyone else won't care in the least. They'll be too busy enjoying the comic adventures.” – Arizona Republic Dec 18, 2024 Full Review The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996) 80% 3/4 “For all its Gothic goofiness, the essence of Victor Hugo's outcasts tale remains, and the cartoon entertains. ” – Arizona Republic Dec 18, 2024 Full Review Pocahontas (1995) 58% 4/5 “With every movie, Disney animation gets better. The action in Pocahontas is swift, the drawings are gorgeous, and the special effects are as exciting as the best live-action work.” – Arizona Republic Dec 17, 2024 Full Review The Rescuers Down Under (1990) 85% 4/5 “It's great to have a movie that teaches kids about ecology in a way that's so much fun they won't even know they're in school.” – Arizona Republic Dec 15, 2024 Full Review The Little Mermaid (1989) 92% 3/4 “The Little Mermaid has the sure-handed Disney touch, mixing in delightful imagination with just enough danger to keep it lively without getting scary.” – Arizona Republic Dec 13, 2024 Full Review Scream (1996) 77% 2/5 “Scream is not the reinvention of the slasher flick. It's a reinvention of the marketing of a slasher flick. ” – Arizona Republic Oct 10, 2024 Full Review Shall We Dance? (1996) 90% 2/5 “There's a certain sadness to the film, and it's matched by an ample dullness.” – Arizona Republic Sep 10, 2024 Full Review Alien Resurrection (1997) 55% 4/5 “Jeunet has created a striking behemoth of a spaceship, a dark, menacing machine that is ripping at the seams with the throbbing of deadly biology.” – Arizona Republic Aug 7, 2024 Full Review Alien 3 (1992) 44% 4/5 “Instead of trying to outspectacle Aliens, this third chapter in the science-fiction saga takes us down a menacing, twisting side path that is as fascinating as the first two movies.” – Arizona Republic Aug 6, 2024 Full Review Trainspotting (1996) 90% 3/5 “What saves the movie from being another depressing study of wasted lives is the filmmakers' unblinking, barbed humor, which spikes both modern society and the rebels who reject it. Boyle proves that his storytelling talents in Shallow Crave were no fluke.” – Arizona Republic Apr 30, 2024 Full Review Steel Magnolias (1989) 73% 4/4 “What works so well in Steel Magnolias is the wonderful comic ride through the years of these women's lives.” – Arizona Republic Apr 30, 2024 Full Review Postcards From the Edge (1990) 83% 3/4 “Postcards From the Edge is a funny movie, not because of the women's desperate situations, but because of the sarcastic reactions the women have to their dilemmas.” – Arizona Republic Apr 29, 2024 Full Review Little Women (1994) 92% 4/5 “The saga of the March sisters is still engrossing, and the sisters remain stalwart as role models for generations of female individualists, inspired by the book to do great things. ” – Arizona Republic Apr 11, 2024 Full Review Seven (1995) 84% 4/5 “The film creates the same morbid fascination with the depths of human horror that propelled The Silence of the Lambs to popularity. But Seven doesn't have the driving momentum of that superior thriller.” – Arizona Republic Mar 28, 2024 Full Review The Shawshank Redemption (1994) 89% 4/5 “Darabont has crafted an intelligent, perceptive picture. But at nearly 2.5 hours, it's an emotional endurance match, blanketing the audience with oppressive mood under which prisoners live until you feel the weight and drag of their empty days.” – Arizona Republic Mar 4, 2024 Full Review Forrest Gump (1994) 75% 5/5 “The best art takes the biggest chances, thereby losing people who can't stretch with it. Forrest Gump is worth the effort.” – Arizona Republic Mar 1, 2024 Full Review Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994) 92% 3/4 “While "Four Weddings" may not be as funny as some weddings you have attended, it is certainly funner than many comedies that have been released so far this year.” – Arizona Republic Feb 28, 2024 Full Review Quiz Show (1994) 97% 4/5 “Although the brilliant script is serious in intent, it contains some hilarious moments. The movie is as scathing in its dissection as Network, without the soothing solace of satire, which allowed us to think that the madness was only comic.” – Arizona Republic Feb 10, 2024 Full Review Heat (1995) 83% 2/5 “In Heat, Al Pacino, Robert De Niro and Michael Mann manage to misuse their talents by going too long and too wide but not deep enough.” – Arizona Republic Dec 19, 2023 Full Review
