Tarzan (1999)

4/4
“A true family film, Tarzan works on many levels. Disney has successfully walked a fine line on violence, neither glossing over the dangers of the jungle nor making them so graphic as to terrify their smallest viewers.” –

“It's not surprising that Hades has the best lines: Disney's villains are always marvelous. What is surprising is that, by the end, a movie that started out so muddled has become so clear.” –

Pulp Fiction (1994)
92%
4/4
“Pulp Fiction runs more that 2 1/2 hours, but it's still lean and mean. Every element of the bizarre, dizzying journey is carefully conceived and executed to take its viewers into the darkest recesses of life, then, with a wink and a laugh, set them free.” –

“Much of the reason for success rests with Meg Ryan, everybody's sweetheart, because she isn't afraid to let herself portray anger, addiction, vulnerability, depression, and fear, and her range is sometimes awe inspiring.” –

“If Braveheart suffers from Gibson's vision and his excesses, it also accomplishes two things: It demonstrates the vast, faceless misery of war like no other movie of recent memory. And it answers the question: Just what do men wear under those kilts?” –
