Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983) 83% “The best that can be said about Return of the Jedi is it contains enough of the right action elements, and capitalizes enough on the familiarity of the leading characters, to sustain interest and avoid any deep sense of letdown in the homestretch. ” – Boston Globe Apr 25, 2025 Full Review The Wedding Banquet (1993) 92% “It's a surprising and delightful comedy.” – Boston Globe Apr 15, 2025 Full Review Withnail and I (1987) 83% “Withnail and I is a witty comedy, but not an antic one. In fact, it might take you a while to decide that it's a comedy at all. But it's slyly rewarding, worth staying with.” – Boston Globe Apr 4, 2025 Full Review Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975) 91% “Nobody ever placed brilliance in the service of silliness quite the way the Python gang did. Monty Python and the Holy Grail is stuffed with both.” – Boston Globe Apr 1, 2025 Full Review Do the Right Thing (1989) 92% “There isn't a stale frame or a dull moment in "Do the Right Thing." It's funny, sexy, sometimes scary, always vivid, certain to be hotly debated.” – Boston Globe Mar 13, 2025 Full Review The Breakfast Club (1985) 87% “The film behaves as if it's dealing in soul-baring insights and emotional deepening. But it's only dealing in plastic. It's rare to encounter such unfailing falseness in a movie that seems to have been launched with benign intentions.” – Boston Globe Feb 14, 2025 Full Review Blue Velvet (1986) 91% “It utterly redeems Lynch from the debacle of Dune and is that rarest of Hollywood products -- a riveting, complex, layered film with a distinctive and highly vivid directorial signature.” – Boston Globe Jan 22, 2025 Full Review Tarzan (1999) 90% “It's the strongest Disney animation of the last few years, a strapping and satisfyingly crafted effort that will do a better job of leading young audiences into Tarzaniana than yet another traditional movie could have.” – Boston Globe Dec 20, 2024 Full Review Mulan (1998) 92% “After a few recent subpar efforts by Disney, Mulan bracingly and captivatingly reinvigorates the studio's animation line. Sporting the look and feel of an instant classic, it's the studio's strongest, freshest entry since The Lion King.” – Boston Globe Dec 20, 2024 Full Review Hercules (1997) 83% “There are several reasons why people will flock to Hercules, one being its reassuring rootedness in the old Disney tradition, another being its imaginativeness in extending that tradition in new stylistic directions.” – Boston Globe Dec 18, 2024 Full Review The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996) 80% “The Hunchback of Notre will be a tougher-than-usual sell for Disney -- but for all the right reasons... Its boldness, virtuosity, imagination and refusal to render itself innocuous are what make it worth seeing. ” – Boston Globe Dec 18, 2024 Full Review Pocahontas (1995) 58% “It was a fatal mistake to allow suffocating solemnity to eclipse what might have been a strongly felt story. What ultimately says most about this venture is that its liveliest character is a talking tree.” – Boston Globe Dec 17, 2024 Full Review Aladdin (1992) 96% “Earlier dispatches had indicated that Williams' Genie stole Aladdin. That's wrong. He pretty much is Aladdin.” – Boston Globe Dec 16, 2024 Full Review Beauty and the Beast (1991) 95% “The Little Mermaid told the world that Disney was back in the animation business. Beauty and the Beast tells us that Disney is back in the animation business to stay. It's an instant classic, in every way equal of the great Disney animations of the past.” – Boston Globe Dec 16, 2024 Full Review The Little Mermaid (1989) 92% “If not quite of a piece with Snow White, Pinocchio and other Disney animation classics it recalls, it nevertheless can bear comparison to them, which is saying something.” – Boston Globe Dec 13, 2024 Full Review Girls Town (1996) 81% “Girls Town walks the walk, talks to the talk -- and fights the good fight. ” – Boston Globe Nov 14, 2024 Full Review Scream (1996) 77% “It can be scary, even when it's mocking the genre's clichéd ways of scaring you. That Scream can get away with doing this is due to the deft touch of horrormeister Craven. ” – Boston Globe Oct 10, 2024 Full Review Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992) 69% “This Dracula is only eyeball-deep, a series of opulent sensory jolts, drained of real emotion; in effect, it's a two-hour trailer for a film that never arrives.” – Boston Globe Sep 26, 2024 Full Review Alien Resurrection (1997) 55% “[A] cold but sufficiently nightmarish and high-powered proof that there's life in the old franchise yet.” – Boston Globe Aug 7, 2024 Full Review Alien 3 (1992) 44% “The monsters just aren't that scary anymore, and so the film mostly just sits there, gloomy and inert, sunk in exhausted myth, looking and sounding Wagnerian but feeling underpowered.” – Boston Globe Aug 6, 2024 Full Review Desert Bloom (1986) 71% “Annabeth Gish is a small atomic bomb herself when she finally releases a smile, and Jon Voight has his best role in years.” – Boston Globe Jul 30, 2024 Full Review Ruthless People (1986) 93% “The summer's best vulgar Hollywood farce.” – Boston Globe Jul 30, 2024 Full Review My Beautiful Laundrette (1985) 98% “An English film of astonishing freshness and emotional urgency.” – Boston Globe Jul 30, 2024 Full Review Mona Lisa (1986) 98% “The best romantic gangster movie in years. Bob Hoskins is unforgettable as a sweet thug whose feelings go to his fists.” – Boston Globe Jul 30, 2024 Full Review A Great Wall (1986) 60% “A wise, gentle, compassionate comedy of cultural collision.” – Boston Globe Jul 30, 2024 Full Review
