Withnail and I (1987) 83% B- “There's a quirky lyricism to Withnail and I that enchants if you're in the mood to let it.” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Apr 4, 2025 Full Review Back to School (1986) 81% “"Back to School" is filled with harmless, tasteless hijinks, and it's briskly, if a bit sloppily directed by Alan Metter. But Dangerfield is the main attraction, and the main reason to see this delightfully silly romp across campus.” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Feb 27, 2025 Full Review The Breakfast Club (1985) 87% “What makes The Breakfast Club an involving, occasionally even brilliant film, is the tight ensemble acting of a first-rate cast. This is an actor's movie that is unencumbered by much action or even much change of scenery.” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Feb 14, 2025 Full Review Hercules (1997) 83% 2.5/4 “Hercules is never a bad film, but it's a lot like Saturday morning cartoons. It's an empty, emotionally unsatisfying movie that doesn't teach children any kind of lesson.” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Dec 18, 2024 Full Review The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996) 80% 3.5/4 “An extremely sophisticated movie that teaches tolerance for those who are different. This is Disney at its most accomplished and least commercial. ” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Dec 18, 2024 Full Review Pocahontas (1995) 58% 3.5/4 “At times it's possible to forget completely that it's an animated film, for the characters are so real and engaging. But what truly sets the film apart is its great dignity.” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Dec 17, 2024 Full Review Beetlejuice (1988) 83% “It's a bit simple-minded for adults, though its hallucinogenic qualities and bizarre sense of humor give it a fresh and very appealing edge. ” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Aug 22, 2024 Full Review Aliens (1986) 94% “A familiarity with the original is not necessary to enjoy this effects-laden adventure. On the other hand, a strong heart is a must.” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Jul 30, 2024 Full Review Twister (1996) 67% 3/4 “Unlike so many disaster movies that become a matter of waiting to see who will die next, Twister is fun. It's not about death, though it's certainly about destruction.” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Jul 16, 2024 Full Review When Harry Met Sally... (1989) 89% “it's a good movie, and literate in a way that's always welcome, but you come away simply entertained and not enlightened by any new perspective. ” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Jul 11, 2024 Full Review Steel Magnolias (1989) 73% “Under the fast-paced direction of Herbert Ross, it becomes a wonderfully inspirational anthem to female fortitude. ” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette May 3, 2024 Full Review Heavenly Bodies (1985) 17% “Aside from the fact that Heavenly Bodies has all the intellectual content of an M&M, it's a terrifically boring movie. ” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Apr 15, 2024 Full Review Spaceballs (1987) 52% C+ “It's the kind of movie that starts out very funny and trickles down to occasional chuckles. Though it's never bad, the movie runs out of steam as Brooks runs out of gags.” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Apr 12, 2024 Full Review Seven (1995) 84% 3.5/4 “The performance that eventually emerges from the shadows gives both Anthony Hopkins and Anthony Perkins a run for their money. By the end of the film you'll run to your car and lock the doors.” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Mar 29, 2024 Full Review The Shawshank Redemption (1994) 89% 4/4 “From beginning to end, Robbins and Freeman command the film. Their performances are equally astonishing. But it's Darabont who gets most of the credit for turning a small story into a profoundly moving epic.” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Mar 2, 2024 Full Review Pulp Fiction (1994) 92% 4/4 “A truly great soundtrack keeps the tone hip and even steals a scene or two. Not that Tarantino doesn't have plenty to spare. Pulp Fiction is riveting filmmaking funny, visceral, stylish and so unabashedly original that you never want it to end.” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Mar 1, 2024 Full Review Forrest Gump (1994) 75% 4/4 “Forrest Gump is going to touch a lot of people's lives. It also has a good shot at bringing Tom Hanks a second Oscar for best actor.” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Mar 1, 2024 Full Review Quiz Show (1994) 97% 4/4 “The movie has the feel of an ensemble where things are weighed equally and the sympathy, as well as the blame, is spread around.” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Feb 13, 2024 Full Review Home Alone (1990) 66% B- “Without being the least bit schmaltzy or cloying, Home Alone manages to impart the holiday spirit. Its saving grace is an unexpected vein of irreverent humor that verges on the black.” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Nov 30, 2023 Full Review The Legend of Billie Jean (1985) 39% “The Legend of Billie Jean comes complete with a stupid ending, but fortunately, the audience has been well prepared.” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Nov 17, 2023 Full Review Natural Born Killers (1994) 51% 3.5/4 “Harrelson and Lewis turn in chilling performances as the vapid, thrill-seeking, amoral couple. Though we don't in any way identify with them, we can identify them. ” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Oct 3, 2023 Full Review Lone Star (1996) 91% 3.5/4 “Cooper projects the assets of a thinking man, and he lifts the film to a different level with his presence. Kristofferson makes a welcome return to the big screen, and McConaughey shows why he's getting so much attention these days.” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Sep 6, 2023 Full Review When a Man Loves a Woman (1994) 69% 3/4 “When A Man Loves A Woman doesn't delve too deeply into why Alice is an alcoholic aside from some mumble about low self-esteem... But the romance between Michael and Alice is strong enough to carry this baggage.” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Sep 1, 2023 Full Review Moscow on the Hudson (1984) 73% “Mazursky effectively shows that there is no such thing as a real American -- the melting pot continues to melt. His script, written with Leon Capetanos, offers a vivid look at the phenomonon, and a glowing reminder of just what makes America great.” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Aug 22, 2023 Full Review The Color Purple (1985) 73% “The Color Purple is not a tearjerker in the traditional sense. It doesn't cheat or manipulate, but provokes a reaction on the strength of its story. The characters come to mean so much that their eventual happiness is profoundly moving and poignant.” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette May 31, 2023 Full Review
