Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983) 83% “The miracle continues. Return of the Jedi is every bit as exciting and satisfying as its predecessor.” – Sacramento Bee Apr 25, 2025 Full Review Back to School (1986) 81% 0/4 “...this is like a tired old Jerry Lewis movie with too many comic set-ups that feel strained and are not pursued with honest effort.” – Sacramento Bee Feb 27, 2025 Full Review Barry Lyndon (1975) 78% “Like a wonderful day in a museum devoted to 200-year-old British, French and German landscapes and the Dutch masters. It's dynamite.” – Sacramento Bee Feb 25, 2025 Full Review The Breakfast Club (1985) 87% 4/4 “It's almost worth sitting through a hundred of those exploitative, lame-brained teen farces in order to get to the warm and authentic intimacy of The Breakfast Club. It's a grand payoff.” – Sacramento Bee Feb 14, 2025 Full Review Blue Velvet (1986) 91% 4/4 “Lynch's background is in painting, and that's probably why you get the feeling he's creating an abstract work up there on the screen, not dealing with objects, but moods. He's a mood painter.” – Sacramento Bee Jan 22, 2025 Full Review Apocalypse Now (1979) 90% “What Coppola has finally created is a masterpiece, every bit as thought-provoking as All Quiet on the Western Front and Paths of Glory and as much a splendid screen-opera as Bridge on the River Kwai -- but more dazzling to the eyes and ears.” – Sacramento Bee Sep 22, 2024 Full Review Aliens (1986) 94% 4/4 “If Alien was 10 out of 10 on the fright meter, then Aliens pushes the meter past its capacity. We'll have to find a new way to measure.” – Sacramento Bee Jul 25, 2024 Full Review Dune (1984) 36% 2/4 “The actors end up with only enough time to explicate the history. There's no room for reaction or growth or wit or irony or seriousness. Worse, there's no humor at all. ” – Sacramento Bee Feb 15, 2024 Full Review The Duellists (1977) 74% “The Duellists is a visual masterpiece, one of the most beautifully filmed movies I have ever seen.” – Sacramento Bee Nov 20, 2023 Full Review Moscow on the Hudson (1984) 73% “Maria Conchita Alonso makes a fine debut. ” – Sacramento Bee Aug 21, 2023 Full Review The Color Purple (1985) 73% 4/4 “Spielberg has given this great story the look of one of those old-fashioned MGM movies, only better, without the sappy sentimentality, the cuteness and the condescension. He's taken a number of risks, and he's won every one. ” – Sacramento Bee May 25, 2023 Full Review A Chorus Line (1985) 48% 3/4 “The movie has some flaws, but none has to do with tampering. It has the same excitement and sense of wonder about life on the Broadway stage as the original. And it has pulse, it moves with feeling, it's a heart movie. ” – Sacramento Bee May 25, 2023 Full Review An American Tail (1986) 77% 3/4 “Hats off to this team for its tireless work in preserving and nurturing this unique form of art. Now that Spielberg has joined them, the future of animation has never looked better.” – Sacramento Bee May 17, 2023 Full Review Girlfriends (1978) 93% “It is technically brilliant with appealing softly lit photography, a musical soundtrack that adds so much to the poetic imagery and scenes that are woven together by the director with wonderful rhythm and care. And it has Melanie Mayron!” – Sacramento Bee May 17, 2023 Full Review Yentl (1983) 69% “Crucial to the movie's success is the credibility of the over-40 Streisand playing a teenage boy in turn-of-the-century Eastern Europe. When this doesn't work -- and it fails by a mile -- there's not much left to hold our interest. ” – Sacramento Bee May 12, 2023 Full Review Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984) 77% “It’s full of rip and roar and heart-in-your-mouth exhilaration. The kind of a sequel you’d only imagine would come out of Hollywood in your fondest dreams.” – Sacramento Bee Apr 18, 2023 Full Review The Deer Hunter (1978) 86% “I think everyone should see it. It is truly a statement by an artist -- director Michael Cimino -- about an important period of American history, a statement made without compromise.” – Sacramento Bee Aug 30, 2022 Full Review Platoon (1986) 89% 4/4 “[Platoon] looks like the real thing, feels like the real thing, sounds like the real thing. And the actors... have been ingeniously chosen for their roles -- they are so right.” – Sacramento Bee Aug 23, 2022 Full Review Creepshow (1982) 65% “What is required of the screenplay is camp... The writing in Creepshow is banal and mediocre enough, but it doesn’t hit those extremes of sophistication and wild amusement. It’s not funny.” – Sacramento Bee Aug 9, 2022 Full Review Kramer vs. Kramer (1979) 90% “Kramer vs. Kramer is a blockbuster of a film with Dustin Hoffman and Meryl Streep giving the best movie performances of the year and Robert Benton showing he is one of the finest film directors around.” – Sacramento Bee Aug 5, 2022 Full Review Terms of Endearment (1983) 81% “It is Brooks' marvelous gift at creating good fun while maintaining a fine edge of truthfulness, even in the face of tragedy, that pushes Terms of Endearment into greatness.” – Sacramento Bee Jul 20, 2022 Full Review Gandhi (1982) 89% “Gandhi is an expensive-looking epic, filmed in India with a formidable cast. Attenborough’s casting of the title role, though, is the single most important element. Just as in Gandhi’s life, all around him fade into comparative insignificance.” – Sacramento Bee Jul 19, 2022 Full Review Amadeus (1984) 90% 4/4 “Boasts compelling performances by Tom Hulce in the title role and F. Murray Abraham as Salieri, as well as a first-rate supporting cast. Brimming with Mozart’s music. You must see it.” – Sacramento Bee Jul 9, 2022 Full Review The Last Starfighter (1984) 76% 4/4 “The Last Starfighter is a marvelous science-fiction adventure with the kind of sweet thrills you’d expect from a Steven Spielberg movie.” – Sacramento Bee Apr 27, 2022 Full Review The Witches of Eastwick (1987) 66% 4/4 “It is Nicholson who delivers, giving the best performance in a career filled with memorable performances, boosting what might have been an average motion picture into a full-blown comedy hit, one of the funniest films in a long time.” – Sacramento Bee Apr 22, 2022 Full Review
