“I applaud Lucas and company for bringing the whole thing together in a responsible and caring way, especially in the face of a media-hype overkill that could ultimately prove more deadly than anything the Empire has to offer.” –

“"Empire" is a hell of a time at the movies. It's mile-a-minute myth making that sweeps us into another reality and keeps us suspended there for two hours.” –

The Breakfast Club (1985)

“It's frustrating to see a young writer-director come so close to perfection and miss -- yes, he does miss -- by so little. Still, there's more to be enjoyed in this movie than in a dozen others around town.” –

Blue Velvet (1986)

“Lynch pushes audiences into places not everyone wants to go, and Blue Velvet is not a conventional good time at the movies. But it is one of the most brilliant and provocative films of the year.” –

“A quantum leap beyond the labored pretentiousness of The Hunchback of Notre Dame or the self-conscious chic of Hercules, Disney's 36th full-length animated movie is far more than a grand family film. It's a grand film, period.” –

Hercules (1997)

“Directed by John Muster and Ron Clements, Hercules has the buoyancy of their The Little Mermaid (but not its excellent score) and the sass of their Aladdin (without being a one-genie show).” –

“They say God is in the details. So, in this case, is the spirit of Uncle Walt. Pocahontas is a triumph for all involved. And it's also the most romantic movie this side of The Bridges of Madison County.” –

“Jim McKay's well-intentioned low-budget picture could've benefited from a little of that ol' MGM spit and polish. The film, which is semi-improvised, means to be spontaneous and passionate, but the result is often unfocused and monotonous.” –
