Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983) 83% “Luke is out of the boy's cocoon, unfolding the wings of manhood. Hamill's performance captures this delicate transitional personality with a facility that suggests a much more skillful actor than we have seen before.” – Austin American-Statesman Apr 25, 2025 Full Review Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980) 93% “It is awesome, wondrous, and very nearly perfect. The movies finally have mastered a challenge almost as old as the Force itself -- conveying the thrill and excitement, danger and terror of interplanetary battle. ” – Austin American-Statesman Apr 23, 2025 Full Review Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977) 94% “I can't think of a more innocent movie that is anywhere near as much fun.” – Austin American-Statesman Apr 22, 2025 Full Review Brannigan (1975) 48% “The film is directed without an iota of style by one Douglas Hickox.” – Austin American-Statesman Apr 12, 2025 Full Review Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975) 91% “Monty Python and the Holy Grail may well be the Monty Python film for people who so far couldn't care less about Mounty Python films. It most certainly is a film for those already addicted to the British comedy team's multi-faceted sense of humor.” – Austin American-Statesman Apr 1, 2025 Full Review Do the Right Thing (1989) 92% 3.5/4 “Funny, serious, provocative and ambivalent, [Do the Right thing] sends ripples across the movie mainstream...” – Austin American-Statesman Mar 13, 2025 Full Review Back to School (1986) 81% “The humor in Rodney Dangerfield's new movie, Back to School, is often dumb, infantile and vulgar, but don't be surprised if you find yourself wanting it never to end.” – Austin American-Statesman Feb 27, 2025 Full Review The Breakfast Club (1985) 87% “I can't remember ever wanting to applaud at the end of a movie, but the only reason I didn't after The Breakfast Club is that I was practically paralyzed with excitement. With this rousing new film... the Hollywood youth film finally comes of age.” – Austin American-Statesman Feb 14, 2025 Full Review Blue Velvet (1986) 91% “Blue Velvet finally established Lynch as one of our most promising and original talents. It's easy to see why someone couldn't resist the temptation to label Blue Velvet a masterpiece: It does nothing less than alter our way of seeing.” – Austin American-Statesman Jan 22, 2025 Full Review The Little Mermaid (1989) 92% 3/4 “Handsomely produced, rife with honest laughs and awash, so to speak, in the spectacle of animation, The Little Mermaid once gain fulfills the mission of pleasing adults as well as kids with a G rating.” – Austin American-Statesman Dec 13, 2024 Full Review Apocalypse Now (1979) 90% “The lushness of Vittorio Storaro's photography is the most unforgettable thing since Days of Heaven. That screenwriters Coppola and John Milius sabotaged the giant framework with such an incoherent story is almost cause for prosecution.” – Austin American-Statesman Sep 22, 2024 Full Review When Harry Met Sally... (1989) 89% 3/4 “These people may be impossibly cute and glib at times, but of all the people on screen this summer, they may be the closest to anyone you know. ” – Austin American-Statesman Jul 3, 2024 Full Review Steel Magnolias (1989) 73% 3/4 “By name though, Steel Magnolias spells entertainment. This is one of those rare movies that looks classy without being showy.” – Austin American-Statesman Apr 30, 2024 Full Review Heavenly Bodies (1985) 17% “Heavenly Bodies is a lot like Flashdance, but with a lot less credibility, a lot less character, and with nothing like the earlier movie's clear, crisp photography. ” – Austin American-Statesman Apr 15, 2024 Full Review Spaceballs (1987) 52% “In truth, Spaceballs is not so bad. Some of the insanity works, even when it reaches so far as to interrupt the movie... Brooks takes big risks, and thinks nothing of setting up a joke a half hour before the payoff.” – Austin American-Statesman Apr 11, 2024 Full Review The Bingo Long Traveling All-Stars and Motor Kings (1976) 87% “The actors -- all of them from Jones and Williams to the smallest bit player -- execute their chores with great enthusiasm. One gets the idea that this was a fun film to make.” – Austin American-Statesman Apr 11, 2024 Full Review Dog Day Afternoon (1975) 96% “"Dog Day Afternoon" stands easily as one of the best Christmas premieres...” – Austin American-Statesman Apr 7, 2024 Full Review Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977) 90% “Happily for us, the movie lives up to its reputation of high praise. While only a little more ideologically substantial than say, Star Wars, "Close Encounters" is permeated with a sense of wondrousness.” – Austin American-Statesman Apr 3, 2024 Full Review Chinatown (1974) 98% “For all the complication it never becomes tedious, however, and fine performances by Nicholson, Dunaway, John Huston and John Hillerman keep the action swift and smooth.” – Austin American-Statesman Mar 8, 2024 Full Review Dune (1984) 36% “Here it is -- the most extraordinary visual spectacle yet before us in a movie theater -- and we are made to endure an acting style straight out of a '50s Bible epic, only worse. ” – Austin American-Statesman Feb 13, 2024 Full Review Grease (1978) 66% “Grease is ducktails, forgettable pop-rock music, leather jackets and hot cars. ” – Austin American-Statesman Feb 8, 2024 Full Review The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas (1982) 50% “Beyond the superficial prettiness, director Colin Higgins has to be congratulated for his effectiveness at handling that trickiest of problems in film musicals -- the moment at which a character bursts into song.” – Austin American-Statesman Dec 31, 2023 Full Review The Duellists (1977) 74% “Audiences are advised to look elsewhere for gum-popping escapism. But as a realization of serious literature, one would be hard pressed to find a better model. ” – Austin American-Statesman Nov 20, 2023 Full Review The Legend of Billie Jean (1985) 39% “The Legend of Billie Jean is by no means a dreadful movie -- it is far too earnest for that -- but it is one that suffers from an acute case of simple-mindedness.” – Austin American-Statesman Nov 17, 2023 Full Review Cocoon (1985) 82% “It's a spare-parts movie, really, with huge debts owed to E.T., Starman, and the Spielberg segment of Twilight Zone, the Movie. It's too easy to get a handle on this picture.” – Austin American-Statesman Nov 12, 2023 Full Review
