Mulan (1998) 92% “Without its fabulous animation, Mulan would add up to little more than a serviceable variant on the Disney drill.” – L.A. Weekly Dec 20, 2024 Full Review The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996) 80% “On its own terms The Hunchback of Notre Dame is funny and exciting and sweet, with a great new score (part camp, part choral) by Alan Menken and Stephen Stewart. ” – L.A. Weekly Dec 18, 2024 Full Review Aladdin (1992) 96% “Though at times his endless gabbing makes you want to stuff him back into the lamp, Williams is perfectly cast here. ” – L.A. Weekly Dec 16, 2024 Full Review Twister (1996) 67% “In the wrong hands apocalypse can be deadly -- deadly dull, that is -- but when it comes to cheap thrills, Jan De Bont is up there with the best.” – L.A. Weekly Jul 16, 2024 Full Review Steel Magnolias (1989) 73% “It's worth the price of a ticket to see the poised Olympia Dukakis as the elegant, amused widow of the mayor. ” – L.A. Weekly May 1, 2024 Full Review Grease (1978) 66% “Hang in there for the dance numbers and amuse yourself ID-ing the old-timers in the supporting cast. ” – L.A. Weekly Feb 6, 2024 Full Review Reservoir Dogs (1992) 90% “A fond genre move that's forever chortling up its sleeve at the puerile idiocy of the genre, a heist caper without a heist, an action movie that's hopelessly in love with talk and a poem to the sexiness of storytelling.” – L.A. Weekly Jan 12, 2024 Full Review Traffic (2000) 93% “The pulsing heart of Traffic lies in the predicament of Del Toro’s Javier Rodriguez, an honest cop in a tangled web of graft.” – L.A. Weekly Sep 7, 2023 Full Review Lone Star (1996) 91% “Nobody in Lone Star talks in any thing resembling human speech -- they're too busy pushing the narrative around and lecturing one another on the evil arbitrariness of boundaries.” – L.A. Weekly Sep 6, 2023 Full Review Moulin Rouge (2001) 75% “Baz Luhrmann has stuffed every idea or image that ever entered his head, or pop song that tickled his eclectic fancy, into this likable but fatally cluttered and overwhelmingly red extravaganza.” – L.A. Weekly Sep 5, 2023 Full Review Shakespeare in Love (1998) 92% “Though weakened by feeble leads, Shakespeare in Love is nicely pepped by Marc Norman and Tom Stoppard's malicious script and a slew of great supporting performances.” – L.A. Weekly Jan 5, 2023 Full Review Braveheart (1995) 76% “Epic in length only and peppered with sniggering homophobia, the homage to Himself drags on for three hours going on three years.” – L.A. Weekly Nov 18, 2022 Full Review Mississippi Masala (1991) 92% “The script, though it clips along with a wicked capering wit, is forever explaining itself; the comedy is a broad grin filled with sitcom retreads... Delivered with enormous good humor and affection, all of this works.” – L.A. Weekly Apr 15, 2022 Full Review This Is My Life (1992) 36% “Unfortunately, it has no people in it; only a bunch of gag dispensers.” – L.A. Weekly Apr 15, 2022 Full Review Beloved (1998) 72% “Demme's Beloved is permanently heated to the boil. Rightly so, for the terrain of Toni Morrisons magisterial novel, on which the movie is based, is not the politics of slavery but its private agonies, the torture of evil turned inward against the self.” – L.A. Weekly Feb 2, 2022 Full Review L.A. Confidential (1997) 99% “A masterfully smart and soulful film that bows low before genre even as it betrays it.” – L.A. Weekly Oct 20, 2021 Full Review Enemies, a Love Story (1989) 89% “For all his sincerity, Mazursky has ironed out Singer's wicked delight in the ambiguities and frailties of the human psyche, and turned the story into mere burlesque.” – L.A. Weekly Aug 1, 2021 Full Review A Shock to the System (1990) 70% “This is supposed to be a black comedy, but a lot of fancy footwork with camera close-ups aid musical drollery with a double bass do little to compensate for the thoroughly flat script.” – L.A. Weekly Apr 9, 2021 Full Review Face (2002) 63% “Feels like the stretched-out short student film that it is.” – L.A. Weekly Mar 13, 2021 Full Review Cloud 9 (2008) 89% “Cloud 9 is most moving when it steps quietly into the gap between physical decline and the persistence, at full blast, of unfulfilled longing and desire.” – NPR Sep 23, 2020 Full Review Selah and the Spades (2019) 87% “A YA gangster movie that doubles as a soulful meditation on the beauty and danger of power, when all means justify the end of retaining that power.” – NPR Apr 16, 2020 Full Review Resistance (2020) 57% “Marceau truly was a hero who carried his sadness into his work, and Resistance is an honorable, absorbing homage to the making of a man and his art.” – NPR Mar 26, 2020 Full Review Never Rarely Sometimes Always (2020) 99% “Hittman is powerfully attuned to the unquestioning solidarity and indomitable moxie of teenaged girls, the wordless ways in which they fight and make up...” – NPR Mar 12, 2020 Full Review The Booksellers (2019) 90% “[A] delightful homage...” – NPR Mar 6, 2020 Full Review Greed (2019) 50% “Cunningly mounted to satirize the heavy-breathing structure of Orson Welles' Citizen Kane, Greed is a jaunty caper littered with farcical flashbacks...” – NPR Feb 27, 2020 Full Review
