Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983) 83% 3.5/4 “I dare not reveal more, except that the final victory hinges not on violence but on compassion. Such an approach is rare in movies these days, but a film that can make an act of mercy seem exciting is rarer still.” – News & Observer (Raleigh, NC) Apr 25, 2025 Full Review Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980) 93% “The Empire Strikes Back is better in ways and worse in ways than its predecessor, Star Wars. On balance the two science-fantasy films come out even, and considering that most sequels are cheap rip-offs, "Empire" is a fine film.” – News & Observer (Raleigh, NC) Apr 23, 2025 Full Review The Breakfast Club (1985) 87% 2.5/4 “Funny thing, though. At the end of the day, the five students still are stereotypes. ” – News & Observer (Raleigh, NC) Feb 14, 2025 Full Review Dune (1984) 36% 3/4 “Dune stands apart from most other movies, good or bad. It is baroque cinema of the highest order. It is enjoyable, despite its flaws, for its sheer intensity of detail. ” – News & Observer (Raleigh, NC) Feb 14, 2024 Full Review Moscow on the Hudson (1984) 73% “Unfortunately, the film does not make the transition from comedy to drama as easily as Williams does. ” – News & Observer (Raleigh, NC) Aug 21, 2023 Full Review Yentl (1983) 69% 3/4 “Yentl has its shortcomings, but all in all it's an enjoyable film that gives a piquant twist to the relationships between love, religion and ambition. ” – News & Observer (Raleigh, NC) May 12, 2023 Full Review Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) 94% “The actors intentionally overplay their lines, and it takes a little getting used to, but that's part of the fun. Miss Allen is especially good.” – News & Observer (Raleigh, NC) May 3, 2023 Full Review Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984) 77% 2.5/4 “Human beings are vaporized in hot lava, powderized in a rock crusher and impaled by a flaming skewer. All in good fun, of course.” – News & Observer (Raleigh, NC) Apr 18, 2023 Full Review Creepshow (1982) 65% 2/4 “For all its rotting corpses, seaweed-covered wraiths and toothy, hungry monsters, Creepshow is more creaky than creepy.” – News & Observer (Raleigh, NC) Aug 9, 2022 Full Review Ordinary People (1980) 89% “Robert Redford's Ordinary People makes a good argument for encouraging talented actors to become directors. Like Paul Newman before him, Redford brings a different perspective to the seat behind the camera, a perspective that is welcome.” – News & Observer (Raleigh, NC) Jul 12, 2022 Full Review Thief (1981) 80% “There is some good acting in Thief as well some good directing and generally impeccable cinematography. The script, however, is full of holes, and even where it doesn't have holes it has been stretched so thin you can see through it.” – News & Observer (Raleigh, NC) Jul 7, 2022 Full Review The Last Starfighter (1984) 76% 3/4 “The movie is best when it is most unassuming, during moments of humor or gee-whiz excitement.” – News & Observer (Raleigh, NC) May 3, 2022 Full Review Excalibur (1981) 72% “Squeezing the King Arthur legend into a movie, even a beautifully filmed movie, is something akin to making a television miniseries on the Bible... It can be done, but not without sacrifice. What Boorman chose to sacrifice was, unfortunately, the people.” – News & Observer (Raleigh, NC) Dec 29, 2021 Full Review El Norte (1983) 92% 3/4 “El Norte is rife with good intentions and on some levels the film can be moving and witty.” – News & Observer (Raleigh, NC) Aug 3, 2021 Full Review Chan Is Missing (1982) 96% 3/4 “Moy portrays Jo with disarming delicacy.” – News & Observer (Raleigh, NC) May 19, 2021 Full Review
