Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983) 83% “Evidence of an enterprise that is clearly running out of imaginative steam, though not out of rhetorical hot air.” – Observer (UK) Apr 25, 2025 Full Review Funny Lady (1975) 51% “Jay Presson Allen's screenplay is aimless and Herbert Ross' direction is (disappointingly) commonplace. ” – Times (UK) Apr 24, 2025 Full Review Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977) 94% “With its random borrowings from 2001, Flash Gordon, The Wizard of Oz, Triumph of the Will and numerous Second World War action films, this bowerbird of a movie creates an ersatz mythology of bogus spiritual uplift.” – Observer (UK) Apr 22, 2025 Full Review The Wedding Banquet (1993) 92% “The best jokes arise from character rather than from Feydeau-esque contrivance.” – Observer (UK) Apr 15, 2025 Full Review American Psycho (2000) 68% “American Psycho is a shallow movie, as two-dimensional as its hero.” – Observer (UK) Apr 4, 2025 Full Review Scream 3 (2000) 43% “Though not quite as good as the others, it's funny, clever, scary, with lots of good lines. ” – Observer (UK) Feb 20, 2025 Full Review My Best Friend's Girl (1983) “I could sit all day watching freckles form on Huppert's face, but the appeal of the celebrated Coluche eludes me.” – Observer (UK) Feb 14, 2025 Full Review The Element of Crime (1984) 83% “Well before the end I ceased to be interested in the characters' fates or the solution to the mystery, but I never detected a moment when the directors' self-confidence flagged.” – Observer (UK) Feb 14, 2025 Full Review The Breakfast Club (1985) 87% “Like too many American pictures about teenage life, this enjoyable and admirably acted picture eventually descends to parent-bashing.” – Observer (UK) Feb 14, 2025 Full Review Pickup on South Street (1953) 93% “Fuller hooks us into a complex moral web that never lets up.” – Guardian Feb 13, 2025 Full Review Scream 2 (1997) 82% “The playful treatment of the familiar is what pleases the post-modernist. ” – Observer (UK) Feb 6, 2025 Full Review Fantasia (1940) 95% “What chiefly comes over today is the sheer prodigal inventiveness, high spirits, wit and fluidity of the graphic work.” – Observer (UK) Jan 22, 2025 Full Review Eraserhead (1977) 87% “Fantasia is a more seriously disturbing picture than the would-be shocking Eraserhead, which is simply an old-fashioned cocktail mixing of the hermetic and the emetic. ” – Observer (UK) Jan 22, 2025 Full Review College (1927) 92% “This isn't one of Keaton's funniest movies, but he is always attractive even when not uproariously comic. ” – Observer (UK) Jan 22, 2025 Full Review Flight of the Navigator (1986) 85% “The junior Rip Van Winkle part of the film is amusing and genuinely touching. The rest is less so, though it interestingly combines two recurrent themes in recent American cinema. ” – Observer (UK) Jan 22, 2025 Full Review Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986) 81% “While still claiming "to bold go where no man has gone before," Kirk is here following a well-beaten trek.” – Observer (UK) Jan 22, 2025 Full Review Blue Velvet (1986) 91% “The film is a playful and disturbing mixture of the real, the surreal and the fantastic, realised through a rich texture of sound and wide-screen images.” – Observer (UK) Jan 22, 2025 Full Review Tarzan (1999) 90% “There's no darkness at the heart of a cheerful, sentimental movie that is well, if unmemorably, drawn... Children will enjoy it, but it isn't a patch on the old Johnny Weissmuller pictures.” – Observer (UK) Dec 20, 2024 Full Review Mulan (1998) 92% “Kids are going to love this movie.” – Observer (UK) Dec 20, 2024 Full Review Hercules (1997) 83% “It's clever, empty, imaginatively drawn, more for adults than kids, and yet further evidence that the great American public is no longer thought capable of responding to anything beyond the present moment and their own backyard.” – Observer (UK) Dec 18, 2024 Full Review Pocahontas (1995) 58% “After Beauty and the Beast, Disney's best full-length cartoon for 50 years, the studio has been going downhill again, and Pocahontas is a poor film.” – Observer (UK) Dec 17, 2024 Full Review Aladdin (1992) 96% “I found myself mesmerised, filled with admiration for the technical virtuosity and roaring with laughter -- all at the time same time. This is a genie of genius.” – Observer (UK) Dec 16, 2024 Full Review The Blood of Heroes (1989) 20% “In addition to the lack of water, power and food, this hideous future is desperately short of words and is reduced to recycling plots. ” – Observer (UK) Dec 13, 2024 Full Review Bird on a Wire (1990) 26% “Miss Hawn spends much of the time screaming. ” – Observer (UK) Dec 13, 2024 Full Review Fire Birds (1990) 8% “I wouldn't be at all surprised to hear that the same production team is planning a military horse opera about kicking Iraqi ass to be called "Gulf and Western."” – Observer (UK) Dec 13, 2024 Full Review
