Alien 3 (1992) 44% “Imagine my dismay to find Alien 3 not merely less accomplished than its predecessors, but a complete violation of the spirit of the earlier movies.” – South Florida Sun-Sentinel Aug 5, 2024 Full Review The Last of the Mohicans (1992) 88% “The result is that rare thing, a movie that is in every way an improvement upon the book.” – South Florida Sun-Sentinel Dec 14, 2023 Full Review Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book (1994) 80% “Anyone familiar with Rudyard Kipling's stories will be forgiven for spending the first half of Rudyard Kipling's Jungle Book squirming with outrage and confusion.” – South Florida Sun-Sentinel Apr 15, 2016 Full Review While You Were Sleeping (1995) 81% “This setup is ludicrous, but actually it's the most credible thing in this whole sorry, dishonest film.” – South Florida Sun-Sentinel Dec 4, 2013 Full Review Misery (1990) 91% “Misery should be a big hit. It deserves to be.” – South Florida Sun-Sentinel Aug 12, 2013 Full Review The Silence of the Lambs (1991) 95% “As Lecter, Anthony Hopkins gives an astounding performance -- eery, menacing, creepy, believable.” – South Florida Sun-Sentinel Aug 12, 2013 Full Review The Bridges of Madison County (1995) 90% “The emotions evoked by this Bridges are in a minor key compared to the book, but they are honestly earned.” – South Florida Sun-Sentinel Jul 31, 2013 Full Review Apollo 13 (1995) 96% “The special effects are as spectacular as anything in Star Trek, but Howard shows wise restraint in not inflating the drama and tension inherent in the true story.” – South Florida Sun-Sentinel Jul 30, 2013 Full Review Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007) 78% 2.5/4 “It would be impossible for any director to jam that much story into a 2 hour and 18 minute picture, but the elisions favored by Yates and screenwriter Michael Goldenberg are particularly unfortunate.” – South Florida Sun-Sentinel Jul 10, 2007 Full Review Eragon (2006) 15% 1/4 “For those who love the fantasy genre known as sword and sorcery -- and I count myself in their number -- sitting through the movie version of Eragon will suck the will to live right out of you.” – South Florida Sun-Sentinel Dec 14, 2006 Full Review Night Watch (2004) 59% 2/4 “An impossible-to-follow story crammed full of cursed women, wily bloodsuckers, Highlander-style warriors, vortexes of crows, incoherent fight scenes, and more music-video-inspired action than any one movie can comfortably contain.” – South Florida Sun-Sentinel Feb 23, 2006 Full Review Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005) 88% 3.5/4 “As Harry, Ron and Hermione enter the awkward stage, the young people portraying them -- Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson -- grow ever more confident as professional actors.” – South Florida Sun-Sentinel Nov 17, 2005 Full Review Everything Is Illuminated (2005) 65% 1/4 “The heart and soul of Foer's novel are sacrificed in the process. By trucking in broad Holocaust clichs, Schreiber repudiates his more nuanced source material.” – South Florida Sun-Sentinel Sep 29, 2005 Full Review The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (2005) 61% 1/4 “The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy does prove there's nothing more painful than antic comedy that isn't really funny.” – South Florida Sun-Sentinel Apr 28, 2005 Full Review Sin City (2005) 76% 4/4 “Really, there will be no reason for anyone to make a comic-book movie ever again. Miller and Rodriguez have pushed the form as far as it can possibly go.” – South Florida Sun-Sentinel Mar 31, 2005 Full Review Blade: Trinity (2004) 24% 2.5/4 “The brow may be low, but it's perfectly manicured: Grade A production values abound, as does superior kung fu choreography.” – South Florida Sun-Sentinel Dec 8, 2004 Full Review Bright Young Things (2003) 66% 3/4 “Lovers of Waugh should be generally satisfied by the clever wordplay, inventive madcap situations, and, most of all, by the profoundly conservative message that the frivolous society elites sober up only when confronted with a disaster.” – South Florida Sun-Sentinel Sep 16, 2004 Full Review Vanity Fair (2004) 51% 3.5/4 “[Nair] has achieved a near-miracle of literary transmutation, taking a supremely rich, complicated and clear-eyed 19th century novel and turning it into a coherent and highly entertaining movie.” – South Florida Sun-Sentinel Sep 1, 2004 Full Review King Arthur (2004) 30% 2/4 “King Arthur is another big, expensive opportunity inexplicably wasted by an army of extremely talented movie people.” – South Florida Sun-Sentinel Jul 6, 2004 Full Review The Chronicles of Riddick (2004) 28% 2.5/4 “A crackerjack B-movie sci-fi adventure.” – South Florida Sun-Sentinel Jun 10, 2004 Full Review Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004) 91% 3.5/4 “Almost everything about this movie looks and feels right.” – South Florida Sun-Sentinel Jun 3, 2004 Full Review The Big Bounce (2004) 16% 1/4 “A travelogue pretending to be a movie.” – South Florida Sun-Sentinel Jan 29, 2004 Full Review The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003) 94% 4/4 “A grand, richly achieved fantasy epic that exalts such previously uncool virtues as honor, loyalty, self-sacrifice and chivalry.” – South Florida Sun-Sentinel Dec 15, 2003 Full Review Runaway Jury (2003) 73% 3/4 “Runaway Jury may curdle into sentimental message-mongering in the closing minutes, but up to then it's a pungent potboiler cooked just so by skilled professionals.” – South Florida Sun-Sentinel Oct 17, 2003 Full Review The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002) 95% 3.5/4 “The grandest spectacle since David Lean hung up his light meter.” – South Florida Sun-Sentinel Dec 17, 2002 Full Review
