The Wedding Banquet (1993) 92% “"The Wedding Banquet" is sweet and touching and, at times, very funny.” – St. Louis Post-Dispatch Apr 15, 2025 Full Review A Goofy Movie (1995) 64% “Perhaps parents should plan on a mid-movie visit to the candy counter or the bathroom. You won't miss much.” – St. Louis Post-Dispatch Apr 1, 2025 Full Review Do the Right Thing (1989) 92% “Most of the way through this funny, touching, ultimately heartbreaking movie, some of [the racial stereotype escapes] actually succeed. That, in itself, is remarkable, and shows that Lee's vision is ultimately a cautiously hopeful one.” – St. Louis Post-Dispatch Mar 20, 2025 Full Review Back to School (1986) 81% “You would think, out of seven people, including Harold Ramis of "Ghostbusters" and Rodney Dangerfield, someone could have written a few funny lines. Wrong.” – St. Louis Post-Dispatch Feb 27, 2025 Full Review The Breakfast Club (1985) 87% “I suspect all these kids are going somewhere, and Hughes, of course, is already there.” – St. Louis Post-Dispatch Feb 14, 2025 Full Review Blue Velvet (1986) 91% “Surely, this is one of the strangest and visually repellent big-budget films ever made. And yet, some scenes are almost literally unforgettable.” – St. Louis Post-Dispatch Jan 22, 2025 Full Review The Rescuers Down Under (1990) 85% “[The Rescuers Down Under] stands very well on its own as a mixture of engaging schmaltz and some remarkably zany slapstick humor that makes you think at times that the spirit of the Marx Brothers has taken control of the movie.” – St. Louis Post-Dispatch Dec 15, 2024 Full Review All Dogs Go to Heaven (1989) 46% “This darkness seem to work against the lightweight nature of the story. I don't think Bluth intended this to be as gloomy a movie as his earlier The Secret of NIMH. ” – St. Louis Post-Dispatch Dec 13, 2024 Full Review The Little Mermaid (1989) 92% “A fast-moving romp with a couple of catchy songs and some astonishing animation.” – St. Louis Post-Dispatch Dec 13, 2024 Full Review Trouble in Mind (1985) 81% “Trouble in Mind is a pleasure for the senses and the mind.” – St. Louis Post-Dispatch Jul 30, 2024 Full Review Aliens (1986) 94% “For sheer, unrelenting excitement that will leave you wrung out and gasping for breath, there has not been a movie like Aliens since Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.” – St. Louis Post-Dispatch Jul 30, 2024 Full Review Twister (1996) 67% “Watching estranged spouses Jo and Bill re-bond as they pursue killer tornadoes across Oklahoma is so much giddy fun that, once you let loose the grip of your critical faculties, you'll be gone with the wind.” – St. Louis Post-Dispatch Jul 16, 2024 Full Review Heavenly Bodies (1985) 17% “This Canadian movie consists essentially of an hour and a half of watching reasonably attractive people do aerobic dancing. ” – St. Louis Post-Dispatch Apr 15, 2024 Full Review Spaceballs (1987) 52% “It probably will do fairly well with kids and younger adolescents, who haven't heard the bad puns and seen the sight gags a thousand times before.” – St. Louis Post-Dispatch Apr 12, 2024 Full Review Little Women (1994) 92% “Armstrong working from a screenplay by Robin Swicord, stresses the proto-feminist elements in the book without making them intrude on what is essentially the warm story of the kind of family we all should be lucky enough to have grown up in. ” – St. Louis Post-Dispatch Apr 10, 2024 Full Review Forrest Gump (1994) 75% “Hanks never strikes a false note, never panders to his mentally slow character nor tries to make him more than he is, despite a script that occasionally calls on him to utter what presumably are intended to be simple profundities.” – St. Louis Post-Dispatch Mar 1, 2024 Full Review Pulp Fiction (1994) 92% “If you like crime fiction and enjoy superb acting, characters deep enough to bleed (sometimes excessively), suspenseful plots, masterly direction and brilliant colloquial dialogue, Pulp Fiction is definitely for you.” – St. Louis Post-Dispatch Mar 1, 2024 Full Review Dune (1984) 36% “The special effects are mediocre -- the miniatures look like miniatures, the sets look like sets, the matte paintings look like matte painting. And even the much dreaded sand worms are about as scary as Missouri night crawlers. ” – St. Louis Post-Dispatch Feb 15, 2024 Full Review Ed Wood (1994) 92% “The sweet center of the movie is Wood's resurrection of horror actor Bela Lugosi, a despairing drug addict who is played brilliantly by Martin Landau.” – St. Louis Post-Dispatch Jan 19, 2024 Full Review Heat (1995) 83% “Time and again, Heat veers sharply out of the groove worn by a thousand other movies. As I said, it's not an ordinary movie -- indeed, it's an extraordinary one, with compelling performances, a fascinating mix of characters and a riveting story line.” – St. Louis Post-Dispatch Dec 21, 2023 Full Review The Legend of Billie Jean (1985) 39% “This movie seems to have been made on a very low budget and it shows. There are some talented people in it, including [Keith] Gordon, Dean Stockwell as his father and Peter Coyote as a sympathetic cop, but they seem wasted in this misbegotten mishmash.” – St. Louis Post-Dispatch Nov 17, 2023 Full Review Taxi Driver (1976) 89% “The movie is still gripping, if not as hypnotically watchable as it once seemed. ” – St. Louis Post-Dispatch Oct 5, 2023 Full Review Lone Star (1996) 91% “I saw Lone Star a month ago, and have found that it is one of those rare, rich films that grows in the memory. Without question, it is among the best movies of the year.” – St. Louis Post-Dispatch Sep 6, 2023 Full Review Selena (1997) 66% “Director Gregory Nava might have done us all a favor by tightening up the script. Still, fans of the music, which mixes traditional Mexican styles with rock music, should enjoy the movie for its many songs and Lopez's convincing portrayal.” – St. Louis Post-Dispatch Sep 6, 2023 Full Review When a Man Loves a Woman (1994) 69% “If you can get past several grueling stretches of soap opera... this romantic melodrama often presents a sensitive and thoughtful portrait of the ways alcoholism can almost destroy a family.” – St. Louis Post-Dispatch Sep 1, 2023 Full Review
