Do the Right Thing (1989) 92% 3.5/4 “...Spike Lee's sizzling study of racial hostilities is not meant to be another harmless little diversion. Intended to get strong reactions, it hits that target on the mark.” – Newsday Mar 20, 2025 Full Review Aliens (1986) 94% 3.5/4 “Cameron is a master of machinery and weaponry, a technical wizard who replaces Scott's refinement with his own kind of muscularity... But with either film, you leave the theater drained, physically exhausted, well-rewarded for all your suffering.” – Newsday Jul 30, 2024 Full Review When Harry Met Sally... (1989) 89% 4/4 “Rob Reiner gives When Harry Met Sally its own comic life, its own solid identity. ” – Newsday Jul 9, 2024 Full Review Steel Magnolias (1989) 73% “While the script tends to grantee the tears, the cast ensures that some of the laughter will show through. ” – Newsday May 3, 2024 Full Review Postcards From the Edge (1990) 83% 4/4 “Writer Carrie Fisher and director Mike Nichols have conspired to keep the story crackling; and Nichols has never directed with greater economy, moving into and out of situations rapidly, using drama to set off humor the way velvet sets off jewelry.” – Newsday Apr 29, 2024 Full Review Spaceballs (1987) 52% 2.5/4 “One small step for mankind, one giant step for burlesque.” – Newsday Apr 11, 2024 Full Review Goodfellas (1990) 94% 4/4 “With all the talent in this movie, singling out a specific performer seems capricious, but let me take a stab at it. I will grant you that De Niro is perfection... But let me reserve my loudest applause for Pesci. ” – Newsday Oct 18, 2023 Full Review Batman (1989) 77% 3.5/4 “One of the most interesting comic-book movies ever made, a movie that vividly illustrates where most of the others have gone wrong. ” – Newsday Jul 25, 2023 Full Review The Color Purple (1985) 73% 2.5/4 “Highly charged subjects call out for the talents of a minimalist, but if Spielberg is anything, he's a maximalist. Time and time again, scenes that should have been ironic or quietly revealing or understated are given the Pow!-Bam!-Boom! treatment. ” – Newsday May 25, 2023 Full Review Out of Africa (1985) 62% 3.5/4 “Once again, Streep adds a third dimension to a two-dimensional medium; once again she brings humanity and intelligence to a remarkable portrait that must be added to what has become a gallery of such portraits. ” – Newsday May 25, 2023 Full Review Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989) 84% 4/4 “Welcome back, Indiana! The daredevil archeologist... makes a blazingly successful return in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, a roller coaster of a movie that swoops from cliff to cave, from thrill to chill, from peril to laughter.” – Newsday Apr 25, 2023 Full Review Requiem for a Heavyweight (1962) 89% “Requiem for a Heavyweight has been etched in acid, framed in uncompromising realism and comes to life with one of the year's finest dramatic performances. ” – Newsday Feb 10, 2023 Full Review Platoon (1986) 89% 4/4 “Platoon is brutal, vicious, surpassingly ugly -- in a word, realistic. It’s one of those movies that are hard to watch yet, impossible not to watch.” – Newsday Aug 23, 2022 Full Review Rain Man (1988) 88% 3.5/4 “Director Barry Levinson constantly finds an effective balance between what is funny and what is serious, making us realize they are often one and the same. ” – Newsday Aug 3, 2022 Full Review The Last Temptation of Christ (1988) 82% 3.5/4 “It may be Scorsese’s most courageous film, and it is technically superb, but it is at times heavy going.” – Newsday May 6, 2022 Full Review The Witches of Eastwick (1987) 66% 2.5/4 “Although The Witches of Eastwick has little to say, it says it with flashes of brilliance. It's one of those movies in which the parts are better than the whole.” – Newsday Apr 22, 2022 Full Review Poltergeist II (1986) 20% 2/4 “The original, in brief, was more original, but then horror fans have never been what you'd call an overly demanding lot.” – Newsday Nov 2, 2021 Full Review Enemies, a Love Story (1989) 89% 3.5/4 “Loosely constructed and at times enigmatic, but rich in characterization, texture, mood, tone and meaning.” – Newsday Aug 1, 2021 Full Review A Hard Day's Night (1964) 98% “[Hard Day's Night] adds up to a breathless, sometimes funny film maybe even worth a squeal or two.” – Newsday Jan 4, 2018 Full Review Back to the Future Part II (1989) 63% 2.5/4 “While the funny-bone is being gently tickled, the eye is constantly diverted. Unfortunately, and I find this true of every Zemeckis movie, neither the mind nor the heart is ever fully engaged.” – Newsday Oct 22, 2015 Full Review
