The Wedding Banquet (1993) 92% 3.5/4 “There isn't a stereotype in sight and each character's agenda is given equal weight. The result is a touching, beautifully paced film in which the laughs are organic to the material.” – Chicago Tribune Apr 15, 2025 Full Review The Last of the Mohicans (1992) 88% 3.5/4 “[Michael Mann's] sheer enthusiasm for his creation makes the film almost irresistible entertainment.” – Chicago Tribune Dec 15, 2023 Full Review Three Men and a Baby (1987) 67% 3/4 “The film works well despite its predictability, perhaps because of it. We can sit back and enjoy all the timeworn, sexist antics of three seasoned comic actors fumbling with formula and diapers, and a script that keeps its laughs on the dry side.” – Chicago Tribune Apr 20, 2022 Full Review I Like It Like That (1994) 89% 1.5/4 “Most of writer-director Darnell Martin's debut feature, about characters who are barely adult, is a nerve-racking screaming match. This is a shame, because the same story, modulated in a much lower key, could have been compelling rather than repelling.” – Chicago Tribune Mar 2, 2022 Full Review The Joy Luck Club (1993) 86% 2.5/4 “[Director Wayne Wang ] shows an unexpected predilection here for soap operatic style.” – Chicago Tribune Dec 17, 2020 Full Review The Boy Who Could Fly (1986) 59% 2/4 “The unevenness in tone here makes watching ''The Boy Who Could Fly'' a little like hitting airpockets in a puddlejumper.” – Chicago Tribune Jul 16, 2020 Full Review Poetic Justice (1993) 35% 3/4 “"Poetic Justice" is thoroughly watchable. The director's script has bite, he is fluid with his camerawork and his eye and ear for details, particularly the details of female life, are superb.” – Chicago Tribune Apr 26, 2019 Full Review Robin Hood: Men in Tights (1993) 42% 2.5/4 “Robin Hood: Men In Tights, Brooks' spoof of the Robin Hood legend, gets off to a creaky start before it loosens up and produces laughs.” – Chicago Tribune Dec 7, 2018 Full Review The Chipmunk Adventure (1987) 75% 3/4 “For a movie that touches more bases than the Cubs on a winning day, ``The Chipmunk Adventure`` is remarkably cohesive.” – Chicago Tribune Mar 7, 2018 Full Review Rudy (1993) 78% 3/4 “Anspaugh, whose Hoosiers showed he knows from feel-good movies, directs this story as if he were conducting Bolero, carefully building climax upon climax as the story spirals to an underdog triumph every bit as tearful as that of Rocky.” – Chicago Tribune Aug 23, 2016 Full Review Total Recall (1990) 82% 2.5/4 “As Quaid, Schwarzenegger continues to stretch beyond his reach as an actor, relying on physical prowess to keep him in character.” – Chicago Tribune Jul 27, 2016 Full Review Just Another Girl on the I.R.T. (1992) 69% 2.5/4 “Stylishly shot and fast-paced, its hip-hop soundtrack features a host of women rappers, and its dialogue is heavy with attitude and body punctuation.” – Chicago Tribune Sep 28, 2015 Full Review Hocus Pocus (1993) 41% 1/4 “Hocus Pocus is harmless, but it's about as much fun as celebrating Mardi Gras under the influence of candy corn.” – Chicago Tribune Aug 15, 2015 Full Review Orlando (1992) 84% 3/4 “What it lacks in coherence it makes up for in sheer spectacle.” – Chicago Tribune Mar 23, 2015 Full Review Mom and Dad Save the World (1992) 12% 1/4 “Here's a novel idea: A kids' movie with parents as heroes. That twist is the most -- some might say only -- refreshing element in Mom and Dad Save the World.” – Chicago Tribune Jul 25, 2014 Full Review Man Trouble (1992) 7% 1/4 “Rafelson, an accomplished screenwriter, seems unable, or unwilling, to give any shape to this mess.” – Chicago Tribune Jul 18, 2014 Full Review Masters of the Universe (1987) 21% 2.5/4 “Everyone knows how the battles will turn out. It`s what's between them that raises Masters Of The Universe ever so slightly above the mediocre.” – Chicago Tribune Jul 11, 2014 Full Review Once Upon a Forest (1993) 22% 2/4 “It contains a dire message: Man is destroying nature and progress is evil. It is hard to know what small children, the film's intended audience, are supposed to do with this idea. Nag their parents about recycling? Work it out in nightmares?” – Chicago Tribune Jun 17, 2014 Full Review Drop Dead Fred (1991) 11% 1/4 “Drop Dead Fred is a movie for people who like the sound of fingernails on blackboards and the feel of a drill bearing into a bicuspid.” – Chicago Tribune May 5, 2014 Full Review A Midnight Clear (1992) 88% 2.5/4 “Despite such peculiarities, or perhaps because of them, A Midnight Clear has a quirky, haunting quality, delivering good performances all around, but especially from Sinise, Hawke and Frank Whaley.” – Chicago Tribune Dec 4, 2013 Full Review The Secret Garden (1993) 89% 3.5/4 “The film is gorgeous to look at, from its period accouterments to its wanderings in explored space (the house is full of secret passageways) to its use of color.” – Chicago Tribune Aug 1, 2013 Full Review Calendar Girl (1993) 11% 1/4 “On film, the story's charm fades fast.” – Chicago Tribune May 28, 2013 Full Review Mobsters (1991) 9% 2/4 “Despite competent production, despite-or perhaps because of-a high and inventively mutilated body count, the film is ultimately boring.” – Chicago Tribune May 21, 2013 Full Review Square Dance (1987) 31% 2.5/4 “There are so many small, well-crafted touches about the movie it`s painful to report that the whole is not quite the sum of its parts.” – Chicago Tribune May 20, 2013 Full Review Lethal Weapon (1987) 80% 0.5/4 “As action-adventure, it's pointlessly puerile, a movie where the heroes are so childish they try to one-up each other with fancy shots at the pistol range.” – Chicago Tribune May 13, 2013 Full Review
