The Getaway (1994)
33%
D
“Director Roger Donaldson seems to abandon any thought of developing these characters. We quickly are led into a stereotypical shoot 'em-up that depends on an ever-rising body count to keep the audience entertained.” –

The Shawshank Redemption (1994)
89%
A-
“'The Shawshank Redemption' would be just another interesting prison flick if not for Darabont's feel for good dialogue and his ability to let the camera show new and different perspectives of the prison.” –

Disclosure (1994)
59%
C
“With all of the big names involved in bringing this project to the screen, it would seem a long shot for it to turn out no better than mediocre. 'Disclosure' somehow manages just that.” –

“If you get a kick out of Jean-Claude Van Damme flicks, you'll probably be able to forgive the overly complex plot of "Timecop."” –

“Sitting through 'The Jerky Boys' is like fishing in your bathtub. No matter how long you wait and hope, there's never even the hint of a nibble.” –

C-
“[The screenwriters] come up with plenty of bathroom-type humor that seems aimed more at snickers from fifth-graders than laughter from grown-ups.” –

Love Affair (1994)
28%
C-
“[Warren] Beatty and [Annette] Bening are a couple in real life, which makes it ironic that the one thing that's lacking in this latest effort is a sense of believability about the romantic relationship.” –

“The real Geronimo probably would consider this film, which depicts him as a noble savage, to be a wonderfully silly comedy.” –

Toy Story (1995)
100%
A-
“Yes, the electronically produced pictures are truly impressive, but they take a back seat to a solid story line that quietly and effectively shows youngsters how to cope with jealousy and fear, and underscores the value of friendship and loyalty.” –

“This unexpected visitor scenario certainly is nothing new. With a decent script, though, Sinbad just might have pulled this thing out of its nose-dive.” –

Exit to Eden (1994)
5%
F
“What makes this film stink up the theater is [Gary] Marshall's inability to decide whether he is making a serious film about sexual hang-ups, or a light-hearted comedy with all sorts of gags, coincidences and pratfalls.” –

Milk Money (1994)

D+
“Only a journeyman's directing job by Richard Benjamin keeps this thing from being a total washout. If not for some decent camera work and a good sense of cinematic pacing, this flick would totally crash and burn.” –
