Dirty Work (1998) 19% 1/5 “If you get off on jokes about flatulence... and lecerchous old men, this charmless, cheesy mess of a movie is probably what you've been waiting for.” – Victoria Times Colonist (B.C., Canada) May 15, 2025 Full Review Starman (1984) 84% “If you are willing to utterly, unquestionably put any sense of reality on hold, endure the film's wishy-washy logic and coincidences galore, and witness more humanity than special effects, you may enjoy Starman.” – Victoria Times Colonist (B.C., Canada) May 13, 2025 Full Review Mission: Impossible II (2000) 57% 3/5 “True, Woo's whooping, adrenaline-pumping visual style would seem at odds with the Mission Impossible formula, but there's no denying it has energized a franchise that was in danger of self-destructing. ” – Victoria Times Colonist (B.C., Canada) May 8, 2025 Full Review Mission: Impossible (1996) 65% 2/5 “Despite some whiz-bang stunts, gadgetry, special-effects and a sleek production design, this was one mission the film-makers should have chosen not to accept.” – Victoria Times Colonist (B.C., Canada) May 6, 2025 Full Review Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983) 83% “Return of the Jedi, above all else, oozes technical bravado. Possibly the most commendable achievement is Phil Tippett and Stuart Freeborn's marvellous creation of the repulsive nasty, Jabba the Hutt.” – Victoria Times Colonist (B.C., Canada) Apr 25, 2025 Full Review Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002) 61% 2.5/5 “The clunky dialogue and bogus emotion turns a listless but fitfully engaging sci-fi adventure into Titanic in Space.” – Victoria Times Colonist (B.C., Canada) Apr 22, 2025 Full Review Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005) 79% 3/5 “Wrapping up the Star Wars mythology in a more taut, coherent and human fashion than before it's also characterized by an undercurrent of poignancy as we bid farewell to a far-out pop culture landmark. ” – Victoria Times Colonist (B.C., Canada) Apr 22, 2025 Full Review Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999) 54% 3/5 “What The Phantom Menace lacks in compelling dialogue (and it's a lot) and character development, it makes up for in Industrial Light and Magic's technical wizardry as our heroes undergo a series of alternately humorous and hair-raising adventures.” – Victoria Times Colonist (B.C., Canada) Apr 16, 2025 Full Review The Wedding Banquet (1993) 92% 3/5 “Lee's bittersweet comedy is noteworthy for its authentic depiction of homosexual lifestyle, cultural difference, and the strained relationships of adult children and their aging parents.” – Victoria Times Colonist (B.C., Canada) Apr 15, 2025 Full Review A Goofy Movie (1995) 64% 2/4 “Despite its flaws, A Goofy Movie is no dog, however. It's painlessly engaging and gorgeously animated, in that meticulous Disney way, although not on the same level of premier offerings like The Lion King.” – Victoria Times Colonist (B.C., Canada) Apr 1, 2025 Full Review Do the Right Thing (1989) 92% 5/5 “As the ugliness of racism flares up in our own backyard, Do the Right Thing couldn't be more timely. It begs for understanding with a bracing freshness and compassion.” – Victoria Times Colonist (B.C., Canada) Mar 21, 2025 Full Review Back to School (1986) 81% 3/5 “Back to School is chock full of gags, trademark Dangerfield jokes and the comic's endearing personal warmth, resulting in belly laughs galore.” – Victoria Times Colonist (B.C., Canada) Feb 27, 2025 Full Review The Breakfast Club (1985) 87% 4/5 “The soul-baring may sound corny and structured. Believe me, it isn't. The Breakfast Club is a cleverly conceived, wholeheartedly refreshing foray into the hearts and minds of teenagers, spoiled only briefly by some silly, contrived asides.” – Victoria Times Colonist (B.C., Canada) Feb 14, 2025 Full Review Scream 2 (1997) 82% “That Tori Spelling plays herself in Scream 2 typifies how hip and timely this stylishly scary sequel can be. ” – Victoria Times Colonist (B.C., Canada) Feb 6, 2025 Full Review Blue Velvet (1986) 91% 2/5 “Disturbing, bizarre, repulsive, pointless, vulgar, perverse and as dull as a recycled homily by a jaded church minister. ” – Victoria Times Colonist (B.C., Canada) Jan 22, 2025 Full Review Mulan (1998) 92% 3/5 “Disney takes a few leaps forward, but just as many steps back, in Mulan, its audacious, stunningly animated but irritatingly uneven new feature.” – Victoria Times Colonist (B.C., Canada) Dec 20, 2024 Full Review The Lion King (1994) 93% “Apart from the brilliant, incredibly-detailed animation, the film's most overwhelming asset is the inspired vocal casting.” – Victoria Times Colonist (B.C., Canada) Dec 20, 2024 Full Review The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996) 80% 2.5/5 “As it turns out, the skepticism that greeted the news Disney would be making an animated musical based on Victor Hugo's epic classic was well founded. Like the story's tragic hero, this ambitious, lavishly designed retelling is deformed.” – Victoria Times Colonist (B.C., Canada) Dec 18, 2024 Full Review Pocahontas (1995) 58% 3/5 “It has plenty of merit but also a number of obstacles that stand in its way of achieving the wondrous perfection and imagination we've come to expect from the studio's hit parade.” – Victoria Times Colonist (B.C., Canada) Dec 17, 2024 Full Review Aladdin (1992) 96% 5/5 “A smashing successor to the studio's most recent animated features, a cinematic gem made even more pleasant since few expected that Disney would be able to sustain the magical brilliance and giddy inspiration of the its profitable predecessors.” – Victoria Times Colonist (B.C., Canada) Dec 16, 2024 Full Review Beauty and the Beast (1991) 95% 5/5 “It updates the timeless French fable with abundant wit, imagination, razzmatazz and poignancy, resulting in an extraordinarily captivating entertainment.” – Victoria Times Colonist (B.C., Canada) Dec 16, 2024 Full Review The Rescuers Down Under (1990) 85% 5/5 “This is no mere sequel, however. It's a successfully ambitious fusion of rich animation and colorful characters designed to tell the kind of whirlwind action-adventure tale usually reserved for such live-action escapism as Raiders of the Lost Ark.” – Victoria Times Colonist (B.C., Canada) Dec 15, 2024 Full Review The Little Mermaid (1989) 92% 2/4 “For an adult, The Little Mermaid is much like a first-grader's school desk: awkward, confining, not a little uncomfortable. ” – Victoria Times Colonist (B.C., Canada) Dec 13, 2024 Full Review Scream (1996) 78% 3/5 “The result is a perversely entertaining experience for horror buffs that subjects you to a series of stylishly gruesome episodes preceded by deadpan comic references to popular fright flicks.” – Victoria Times Colonist (B.C., Canada) Oct 17, 2024 Full Review Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992) 69% 3/5 “Plagued with problems, chiefly a less than involving screenplay by James V. Hart, but one thing Coppola cannot be accused of is failing to arouse our morbid curiosity.” – Victoria Times Colonist (B.C., Canada) Sep 26, 2024 Full Review
