American Psycho (2000) 68% 2/4 “"American Psycho" is such a good-looking movie that it negates any sense the viewer should have about the inherent emptiness of judging people by their looks, or by what after shave they wear, or what car they drive.” – St. Louis Post-Dispatch Apr 4, 2025 Full Review Scream 2 (1997) 82% 2.5/4 “Good in the first half, begins to fade when new ideas are all used up and then finally staggers exhausted to the finish line. ” – St. Louis Post-Dispatch Feb 6, 2025 Full Review Telling Lies in America (1997) 67% 3.5/4 “Bacon and Renfro are a perfect team.” – St. Louis Post-Dispatch Aug 7, 2024 Full Review Smoke Signals (1998) 90% 3.5/4 “Some movies have short lines of dialogue, little gems, that let you know that the movie will be good if for no other reason than because it is well-written, witty and unique. In Smoke Signals... two such lines struck me that way.” – St. Louis Post-Dispatch Nov 8, 2023 Full Review Magnolia (1999) 82% 3/4 “A personal drama and dark comedy of epic proportions, a visually exciting story of human emotion and cosmic circumstance. It is a compelling, innovative and sometimes brilliant work from director Paul Thomas Anderson. I just wish it were a better movie.” – St. Louis Post-Dispatch Jul 14, 2023 Full Review Armageddon (1998) 43% 3/4 “Bruce Willis and his gang of Dolby-sounding, giant screening, blowing-up-real-good heroes have put out the summer's best mindless action flick.” – St. Louis Post-Dispatch Jun 22, 2023 Full Review Patriot Games (1992) 72% “The movie delivers enough thrills to satisfy all but the most hard-core adrenalin addicts. And several touches, especially the lead performance of Harrison Ford, elevate this film above the standard summer suspense offerings.” – St. Louis Post-Dispatch Jun 6, 2023 Full Review Wild Things (1998) 64% 2/4 “Parts of Wild Things were groovy, but it fell way short of making my heart sing. ” – St. Louis Post-Dispatch Feb 2, 2023 Full Review Down in the Delta (1998) 76% 3/4 “The film's best asset is the acting, with strong performances from the ensemble -- especially from Woodard in the role of a woman whose wild ways threaten to ruin her family. ” – St. Louis Post-Dispatch Jan 4, 2023 Full Review Groundhog Day (1993) 94% “Groundhog Day is a charming and hilarious film. Or did I already say that? Anyway, it is worth repeating.” – St. Louis Post-Dispatch Dec 21, 2022 Full Review Gladiator (2000) 80% 2/4 “Director Scott has dug deep into his bag of computer-generated imagery tricks and pulled out either the world's coolest video game or a movie that falls in on itself because of its overblown appearance and stilted dialogue.” – St. Louis Post-Dispatch Oct 31, 2022 Full Review Beloved (1998) 72% 3/4 “Beloved is a good movie. With a tighter ending, a shorter running time and fewer special effects, it could have been a great one.” – St. Louis Post-Dispatch Feb 2, 2022 Full Review L.A. Confidential (1997) 99% “"L.A. Confidential" is violent, sharp and sinister. And it is brilliant.” – St. Louis Post-Dispatch Oct 19, 2021 Full Review Mortal Kombat Annihilation (1997) 4% 1/4 “Mortal Kombat: Annihilation is not just a movie based on a video game, it is a sequel to a movie that was based on a video game. That pedigree should tell you all you need to know about the quality of this movie.” – St. Louis Post-Dispatch Jul 20, 2021 Full Review The Big Lebowski (1998) 80% 4/4 “I'll just say this: The Big Lebowksi is an excellent movie - and damn funny.” – St. Louis Post-Dispatch Apr 2, 2018 Full Review Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999) 54% 3/4 “The movie is fun, for the most part, and several scenes are as good or better than anything Lucas created in the original films. The human characters, however, are not nearly as interesting as those in the earlier episodes.” – St. Louis Post-Dispatch Dec 14, 2015 Full Review Titanic (1997) 88% 4/4 “Take one of history's most compelling tragedies, tell it through the lives of two engaging young lovers and show it with some of the best-ever special effects and you have a dazzling, exciting movie that is also poignant and personal.” – St. Louis Post-Dispatch Feb 25, 2014 Full Review The Boxer (1997) 81% “If The Boxer does not get a good share of Academy Award nominations, then the fight is fixed.” – St. Louis Post-Dispatch May 14, 2013 Full Review Ted (2012) 69% 1.5/4 “The plot is simply a shaky frame on which to hang drug and sex jokes and numerous pop-culture references.” – St. Louis Post-Dispatch Jun 29, 2012 Full Review The Rum Diary (2011) 51% 3/4 “If you'd like to see one version of the story about how the real Thompson became the famous, public Thompson, "The Rum Diary" is a solid and entertaining telling of that tale.” – St. Louis Post-Dispatch Oct 28, 2011 Full Review Straw Dogs (2011) 42% 2.5/4 “For the most part, Lurie's remake serves as a credible update to the original, and the performances from Skarsgard, Marsden and Bosworth are solid.” – St. Louis Post-Dispatch Sep 16, 2011 Full Review Cowboys & Aliens (2011) 44% 2/4 “Aside from the idea of mixing two well-loved genres, there is not a single original thought. The creators seem to have turned off their creative juices after identifying as many genre set pieces as possible.” – St. Louis Post-Dispatch Jul 28, 2011 Full Review Restrepo (2010) 97% 3.5/4 “The directors were satisfied with telling us about a group of courageous, honorable young soldiers -- a salute these men richly deserve.” – St. Louis Post-Dispatch Aug 12, 2010 Full Review The Sorcerer's Apprentice (2010) 40% 3/4 “If a couple of adults are looking for mature movie enjoyment, this can be a disappointing recipe. But if you want a fun, fast-paced film that can be enjoyed by all ages, it cooks up just right.” – St. Louis Post-Dispatch Jul 15, 2010 Full Review She's Out of My League (2010) 57% 3/4 “I laughed out loud a handful of times and chuckled on a regular basis. In the end, isn't that all we really want from those sweet, mindless comedies Hollywood continues to offer?” – St. Louis Post-Dispatch Mar 11, 2010 Full Review
