A League of Their Own (1992) 82% 8/10 “Although the denouement must once again wrestle with the introduction from the start, revisiting the decades-later troupe that absolutely doesn’t need to be involved, the film remains inspirational, motivational, nostalgic, sweet, and highly entertaining.” – Gone With The Twins Apr 24, 2025 Full Review Queen of Outer Space (1958) 15% 4/10 “It’s ultimately just a feeble, comical example of early exploitation themes, which are nice to look at in the moment, but quite forgettable overall.” – Gone With The Twins Apr 24, 2025 Full Review Knute Rockne, All American (1940) 78% 3/10 “This theatrical adaptation offers up minimal amusement, especially as it culminates in a drab committee hearing, a long-awaited vacation cut short, an untimely demise that mirrors that of the poor Gipper, and a somber speech.” – Gone With The Twins Apr 24, 2025 Full Review Show Boat (1936) 100% 7/10 “The most enduring components aren’t the songs, but the realized themes of shattered reputations, separated families (and abandonment), generous sacrifices, and heartfelt reunions – which culminate in a teary-eyed New Year’s performance.” – Gone With The Twins Apr 24, 2025 Full Review Animal Crackers (1930) 97% 6/10 “Curiously, for a Marx Brothers comedy, this one is a touch overstuffed, with time added to sing an extra song or two, or for Chico to play more than one composition on the piano (Harpo gets to strum the harp, of course, which is requisite).” – Gone With The Twins Apr 24, 2025 Full Review The Naughty Nineties (1945) 6/10 “It’s exceptionally goofy and nonsensical, ending once again with a skit that cuts off too abruptly, but enough of the humor sticks that it’s still modestly entertaining.” – Gone With The Twins Apr 24, 2025 Full Review Guys and Dolls (1955) 91% 6/10 “It merges too many types of musicals, always uncertain of what tone it wishes to strike.” – Gone With The Twins Apr 24, 2025 Full Review The Amateur (2025) 61% 7/10 “The kind of film that manages to feel rational and brainy even when it might in fact be nonsensical.” – Gone With The Twins Apr 8, 2025 Full Review A Working Man (2025) 49% 7/10 “It may be stupid and simple, but it effectively and entertainingly accomplishes exactly what it sets out to do.” – Gone With The Twins Mar 27, 2025 Full Review Death of a Unicorn (2025) 54% 6/10 “Even though it doesn’t amount to much as an original horror-comedy, it’s routinely satisfying.” – Gone With The Twins Mar 25, 2025 Full Review Disney's Snow White (2025) 40% 4/10 “Despite the intermittent sequences that work (and ignoring the many that don’t), this film continually questions its own identity, struggling to answer why it needs to exist.” – Gone With The Twins Mar 19, 2025 Full Review On the Town (1949) 94% 7/10 “Remains an entertaining vehicle and stepping-stone for its star Kelly, who also co-directed with Stanley Donen.” – Gone With The Twins Mar 17, 2025 Full Review Searching for Bobby Fischer (1993) 98% 5/10 “While it’s all agreeable and pleasant, it’s far from outstanding; it’s a very basic, formulaic, moderate inspirational drama.” – Gone With The Twins Mar 17, 2025 Full Review Madame Curie (1943) 78% 5/10 “The performances are fine and the weightiness of the subject matter is evident, but the script is routine and sterile, carrying on too long for the pacing to maintain interest.” – Gone With The Twins Mar 17, 2025 Full Review Coal Miner's Daughter (1980) 84% 5/10 “There isn’t even close to a tear-jerker scene to be found, which tends to be a staple of these types of biographies, preventing it from having much resonance.” – Gone With The Twins Mar 17, 2025 Full Review 42nd Street (1933) 92% 3/10 “The title tune remains memorable (as does the parting shot), but this pioneering product-of-its-time no longer possesses much filmic power.” – Gone With The Twins Mar 17, 2025 Full Review Lilies of the Field (1963) 92% 10/10 “Few films manage this tempo, this design of striking ups and minimal downs that flawlessly – and comically – highlights pride, humility, kindness, unselfishness, leadership, and hard work.” – Gone With The Twins Mar 17, 2025 Full Review Hotel Rwanda (2004) 91% 7/10 “Despite the galvanizing events taking place onscreen (highlighted by staggering shots of corpse-littered roads and other aftermaths of mass executions), what really sells the premise is Cheadle’s performance.” – Gone With The Twins Mar 17, 2025 Full Review O'Dessa (2025) 38% 3/10 “It needed to be much more chaotic and wild to stand out (or more unpredictable and adventurous, or even comically absurd), even if the music is enjoyably fitting.” – Gone With The Twins Mar 17, 2025 Full Review Novocaine (2025) 81% 6/10 “In many ways, this film would have worked better with slightly greater realism, which is, of course, a lot to ask for in a project with a one-note fantasy gimmick as its premise.” – Gone With The Twins Mar 11, 2025 Full Review Mickey 17 (2025) 77% 6/10 “For a picture that should have had so many shades of gray in its moral examinations, this one is awfully black and white.” – Gone With The Twins Mar 4, 2025 Full Review The Killing Fields (1984) 93% 7/10 “By the end, when an anticipated convergence finally transpires, it’s quite the moment – an against-all-odds type of tear-jerking finale that helps to redeem many of the lulls from before.” – Gone With The Twins Mar 2, 2025 Full Review The Miracle Worker (1962) 96% 8/10 “It’s at once infuriating, saddening, inspirational, and triumphant; and during each of these phases, it’s also highly, unforgettably emotional.” – Gone With The Twins Mar 2, 2025 Full Review Babe (1995) 97% 8/10 “It may be an airy fairy tale, quick and simple, but it’s exquisitely upbeat and sweet, with a perfectly triumphant finale.” – Gone With The Twins Mar 2, 2025 Full Review Behind Enemy Lines (2001) 36% 5/10 “It isn’t one of the great war movies, again and again disrupted by poor editing choices, but it’s still modest entertainment.” – Gone With The Twins Mar 2, 2025 Full Review
