Report to the Commissioner (1975)
56%
“This one has the feel of a movie that’s coming near a cycle’s end, and director Milton Katselas (the famed acting teacher) isn’t as good at setting up a seamless A-to-B-to-C narrative the way Don Siegel, William Friedkin and Sidney Lumet were.” –

Alien (1979)

“Ridley Scott, directing only his second feature, has more than justified the acclaim he received for his debut in last year's The Duellists. He has combined all these elements, many of them familiar, in a way that seems fresh and original.” –

The Matrix (1999)
83%
2.5/4
“Though The Matrix ultimately overdoses on gloom-and-doom grunge, over-elaborate cool and especially running time, it's just clever enough to enable [the Wachowskis] to nix the sophomore jinx following 1996's Bound.” –

3.5/4
“The most imperfect of the year's best movies, Magnolia's flaws are easily forgiven because they are the result of go-for-broke ambition.” –

Kramer vs. Kramer (1979)
90%
“Far from being the contest between equals that its title implies, Kramer vs. Kramer pays only marginal lip service to the mother's side of the story, a gambit that robs the picture of depth and ultimately minimizes its emotional punch.” –

Boogie Nights (1997)
94%
4/4
“The pop 1970s were typified in part by cheesy fashions, ephemeral music and a regular diet of daring, cutting-edge movies that arguably made that decade Hollywood's richest. Blistering Boogie Nights recaptures the spirit of that time on all three counts.” –

“Unless you think drawing-room re-enactments of JFK's assassination beat Pictionary as a party game, it's best to say no to the achingly arch comic satire The House of Yes.” –

“We'll forgive England for the Spice Girls. Maybe even Benny Hill, Joan Collins, Boy George, Fergie and that habit of pouring milk in tea. But with Bean's arrival, it might mean war.” –

“The acting hits all the right notes, especially Wesley Snipes as a married man drawn into a fling with a stranger (Nastassja Kinski) and Robert Downey Jr. in a stripped-down portrait of a gay man dying of AIDS.” –
