Mission: Impossible II (2000) 57% B- “Cruise makes good on that promise here, delivering the big, loud, violent lump of nonsense audiences expect, and possibly event demand. ” – Philadelphia Daily News May 8, 2025 Full Review Mission: Impossible (1996) 65% 3/4 “The stylish, flashy Tom Cruise version of "Mission Impossible" is nothing like the old 온라인카지노추천 show. You had to expect that.” – Philadelphia Daily News May 6, 2025 Full Review Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999) 54% B- “Put to their highest and best use, digital effects offer a thrilling combination of photorealism and movement, and it is here that "Menace" finally excels...” – Philadelphia Daily News Apr 16, 2025 Full Review American Psycho (2000) 68% C “The movie's highlights are Bateman blabbing about his own shallowness... but the more Harron mocks him, the less formidable he becomes.” – Philadelphia Daily News Apr 4, 2025 Full Review Scream 3 (2000) 43% C+ “The thrill is visibly gone for the venerable Craven, who, jokes aside, put more feeling into "Music of the Heart."” – Philadelphia Daily News Feb 20, 2025 Full Review Mulan (1998) 92% B+ “It's almost July, but relief has finally arrived with Mulan, a charming Disney animated feature that stands as one of the company's better cartoon offerings in recent years.” – Philadelphia Daily News Dec 20, 2024 Full Review The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996) 80% 3/4 “Disney is almost certainly needling its right-wing critics. Few of whom could quibble with the level of artistry. ” – Philadelphia Daily News Dec 18, 2024 Full Review Beauty and the Beast (1991) 95% 3.5/4 “Disney is dying for a hit, and it appears that Beauty and the Beast will bail the company out.” – Philadelphia Daily News Dec 16, 2024 Full Review Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992) 69% 2/4 “The movie's attention to its lavish trappings and to the trivial details of the plot is hard on the actors. None of them, except for Oldman, gets a compelling, meaty character to play. And Reeves' British accent is far more frightening than Oldman.” – Philadelphia Daily News Sep 26, 2024 Full Review Alien Resurrection (1997) 55% C “A walking-zombie sequel that looks and smells like a corpse brought back from the dead. ” – Philadelphia Daily News Aug 7, 2024 Full Review Alien 3 (1992) 44% 2/4 “The result is a movie that is unusually brave for a "3," but not particularly diverting. ” – Philadelphia Daily News Aug 6, 2024 Full Review Twister (1996) 67% 2.5/4 “A twister sucks up everything in its path. Much of the time, Twister just sucks.” – Philadelphia Daily News Jul 16, 2024 Full Review Steel Magnolias (1989) 73% 2.5/4 “There are, however, too many characters, and consequently some of the main characters take too long to develop. ” – Philadelphia Daily News May 3, 2024 Full Review Little Women (1994) 92% 3.5/4 “Little Women manages to make quaint attributes like fortitude, scholarship, generosity, and decency seem admirable and in doing so reclaims the morality from the corrupt auspices of contemporary politics.” – Philadelphia Daily News Apr 11, 2024 Full Review Showgirls (1995) 23% 1/4 “Showgirls will be remembered as one of the most expensively, indulgently horrible movies ever made -- cult trash certain to be treasured by connoisseurs of bad dialogue, lousy performances and crap on a spectacular scale.” – Philadelphia Daily News Mar 27, 2024 Full Review Almost Famous (2000) 91% B “Crowe is a charming storyteller with a knack for romantic comedy that is actually romantic, and he shows his chops here. Even so, by movie's end, I'd had my fill of Patrick Fugit... There are too many good actors stealing too many scenes from him here.” – Philadelphia Daily News Mar 26, 2024 Full Review The Shawshank Redemption (1994) 89% 3/4 “Even the most prosecutorial viewer will concede that Robbins and Freeman give The Shawshank Redemption a persuasive validity. They hold The Shawshank Redemption together as it gives way to story-driven melodrama.” – Philadelphia Daily News Mar 4, 2024 Full Review Quiz Show (1994) 97% 3.5/4 “If you were truly shocked when you found out NBC blew up a "faulty" truck in order to get exciting video, well, then Quiz Show may chill you to the bone. Everyone else can enjoy it simply as an example of impeccable moviemaking.” – Philadelphia Daily News Feb 13, 2024 Full Review The Last of the Mohicans (1992) 88% 2/4 “The weakness which dogs most of the director's work is also evident. His characters are postured, impenetrable clichés. Mann is no great believer in dialogue, and though his images are often compelling, they do not explain his characters.” – Philadelphia Daily News Dec 15, 2023 Full Review Home Alone (1990) 66% 2/4 “Home Alone wanders like the Wise Men for a good hour before we reach the mildly funny slapstick conclusion, and the obligatory Christmas-miracle payoff. ” – Philadelphia Daily News Nov 28, 2023 Full Review Smoke Signals (1998) 90% B- “Smoke Signals' strengths are its lyrical attempts to explain Victor's search for himself amid the scattered remnants of his father's life... Its weaknesses are the usual low-budget, independent pitfalls some stiff acting and shaky editing.” – Philadelphia Daily News Nov 8, 2023 Full Review Lone Star (1996) 91% 3.5/4 “Lone Star is also about storytelling, its power and its role in cultural history. When are myths destructive, and when are they more important or more truthful than the facts?” – Philadelphia Daily News Sep 6, 2023 Full Review Selena (1997) 66% 2.5/4 “The movie is a domino chain of rags-to-riches showbiz clichés, and once the first domino falls, the rest of the movie topples predictably into place. ” – Philadelphia Daily News Sep 5, 2023 Full Review When a Man Loves a Woman (1994) 69% 2/4 “It's emotionally grueling, but what is the point? When A Man Loves A Woman never transcends the docudrama format.” – Philadelphia Daily News Sep 1, 2023 Full Review Hard-Boiled (1992) 92% 3.5/4 “It's not for all tastes, but Hard-Boiled provides a rare opportunity for action fans to see the work one of the genre's contemporary masters.” – Philadelphia Daily News Jul 27, 2023 Full Review
