Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002) 61% 3/4 “One of the cornerstones of entertainment is that a strong finish makes up for earlier shortcomings. Lucas employs that truism effectively in "Episode II."” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Apr 22, 2025 Full Review Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999) 54% 3.5/5 “In terms of craft, it scores off the chart. Dazzling to look at, its an all-you-can-eat buffet of special effects. But if you're hungering for creativity, all you'll find is a light snack.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Apr 16, 2025 Full Review The Wedding Banquet (1993) 92% 8/10 “The plotting falls victim to some contrivances, but the script captures a wide array of feelings.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Apr 15, 2025 Full Review Withnail and I (1987) 83% 6/10 “As in many such personal stories, the humor comes across inconsistently. Some of the incidents are funny, others are tainted with an insider quality that suggests they're much funnier to the people telling the story.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Apr 4, 2025 Full Review Back to School (1986) 81% 7/10 “"Back to School" is not [an] inspired, thought-provoking drama by any shade of the imagination, but it doesn't pretend to be...It's an enjoyable, welcome and satisfying diversion. ” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Feb 27, 2025 Full Review Blue Velvet (1986) 91% 2/10 “Lynch drags us into a netherworld of darkness, perversion and ugliness, snuffing with brutality whatever intellectual interest we might have in his premise. He insists on rubbing our noses in the stench long past when his point is made.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Jan 22, 2025 Full Review Tarzan (1999) 90% 4/4 “The hipness isn't overindulged until late in the movie, by which time viewers will have been won over by the standard Disney elements: high energy, a humorous sidekick, vivid visuals and engaging music.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Dec 20, 2024 Full Review Mulan (1998) 92% 4.5/5 “The color palette is stunning, the attention to detail exquisite and the merger of computer-animated epic scenes with intricate, hand-drawn passages is seamless.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Dec 20, 2024 Full Review The Lion King (1994) 93% 10/10 “This is an original story, but one destined for classic status. ” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Dec 19, 2024 Full Review Hercules (1997) 83% 5/5 “Bursting with action and over-the-top goofiness, it's the most energetic animation to come out of Disney since Aladdin.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Dec 18, 2024 Full Review The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996) 80% 4.5/5 “The Hunchback of Notre Dame offers a pleasant surprise for people who were wondering how the studio could make a story about suffering and bigotry into a fun family film.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Dec 18, 2024 Full Review Pocahontas (1995) 58% 4/5 “The Disney animators have spent the past six years digging themselves into a hole... Each year they have released an animated epic that was better than the one before it. The string is interrupted with Pocahontas. Interrupted, we said, not decimated.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Dec 17, 2024 Full Review Aladdin (1992) 96% 10/10 “It doesn't have the classic stature of Beauty and the Beast, but that doesn't make it any less enjoyable. It's so delightful that it's hard to imagine how it could be any more enjoyable.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Dec 16, 2024 Full Review Beauty and the Beast (1991) 95% “It's a beauty. The 90-minute feature is a throwback to the good old days -- meaning the Walt Disney days -- when the Disney name was synonymous with the best of animation. ” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Dec 16, 2024 Full Review All Dogs Go to Heaven (1989) 46% 8/10 “Disney's adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen's The Little Mermaid puts up a respectable fight. But in the end, better attention to detail, pacing of the story and use of voice talent tip the scales in Bluth's favor.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Dec 13, 2024 Full Review The Little Mermaid (1989) 92% 7/10 “With a voice by Broadway actor Sam Wright and music by Howard Ashman and Alan Menken, Sebastian and his "hot crustacean band" turn in a number of show-stopping, foot-tapping tunes.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Dec 13, 2024 Full Review Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992) 69% 3/10 “Seeing Bram Stoker's Dracula is akin to buying a ticket to what you think is the most exciting ride on the midway and then discovering that it's just an overdressed merry-go-round.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Sep 26, 2024 Full Review Shall We Dance? (1996) 90% 4/5 “The movie works on several levels, so if viewers don't understand the social commentary, there's still an amusing story with intriguing characters.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Sep 10, 2024 Full Review Alien 3 (1992) 44% 2.5/4 “The shift in emphasis halfway through the movie makes it seem as if all the intelligence has been suddenly sucked out of it, leaving only the shell. Like the victims of its monster, it becomes nothing but a host.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Jul 31, 2024 Full Review Aliens (1986) 94% 3/10 “Totally lacking originality, the film tries to compensate with excess... The last half of the movie amounts to one action sequence re-enacted half a dozen times with little or no variation. It's instant replay ad nauseam. ” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Jul 30, 2024 Full Review Twister (1996) 67% 4/5 “Twister fits the most important part of the formula: not much story, but oodles of adrenaline. If the tornado scenes don't get your heart beating, you need a pacemaker. ” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Jul 12, 2024 Full Review When Harry Met Sally... (1989) 89% 7/10 “This is a sophisticated romantic comedy about a pair of longtime friends who have trouble realizing they are in love. ” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Jul 9, 2024 Full Review Steel Magnolias (1989) 73% 8/10 “A very funny, yet very moving film.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune May 2, 2024 Full Review Planet of the Apes (2001) 43% 3.5/4 “Burton faced a double-edged challenge in reworking such a beloved movie: appeasing the fans of the original while reaching out to a new audience. He does a nifty job of hitting both targets without allowing either aspect to interfere with the other.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Apr 30, 2024 Full Review Postcards From the Edge (1990) 83% 8/10 “If you're looking for serious insight into the heroine's battles with drug addiction and her actress mother, you're not going to find it here. [But] Meryl Streep as the daughter and Shirley MacLaine as the mother offer a one-two punch of pure delight.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Apr 29, 2024 Full Review
