Starman (1984) 84% “It's above all a nice movie.” – Newhouse News Service May 13, 2025 Full Review Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983) 83% “The most expensive of the series so far, and boasting the largest number of special effects, Return of the Jedi nevertheless shows a great imaginative weariness.” – Newhouse News Service Apr 25, 2025 Full Review Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980) 93% “It seems to end only because its creator, George Lucas, has run out of film stock. But it has the compensating virtues of more complex relationships between its characters and even more dazzling special effects than the original.” – Newhouse News Service Apr 24, 2025 Full Review Withnail and I (1987) 84% “It is consistently witty on the highest level, both as a wry valedictory of the '60s, and -- more universally -- as a very funny, very moving farewell to youth at any time. See it at all costs.” – Newhouse News Service Apr 4, 2025 Full Review Do the Right Thing (1989) 92% 3/4 “It's too long, too self-indulgent, and often sociologically confused, but it still delivers the real emotional goods.” – Newhouse News Service Mar 18, 2025 Full Review Back to School (1986) 81% “"Back to School" is a much funnier movie than this quirky, bug-eyed comedian's earlier "Easy Money," making for easy summer watching and very little cringing even for Dangerfield non-fans.” – Newhouse News Service Feb 27, 2025 Full Review The Breakfast Club (1985) 87% 2/4 “The disappointing thing about this wry but feeble adolescent comedy by John Hughes, who gave us last year's uproarious Sixteen Candles, is that it's more of a play than a movie, and more of a psychodrama than a play.” – Newhouse News Service Feb 14, 2025 Full Review Blue Velvet (1986) 91% “Lynch doesn't seem to have read very much. He's only seen every movie ever made and in Blue Velvet goes far to elevate the art, if those are the words for it, to a level of purely sensual, personal obsession. It's a movie-lover's movie, but not much more.” – Newhouse News Service Jan 22, 2025 Full Review The Rescuers Down Under (1990) 85% 8/10 “By far the richest holiday treat for toddlers.” – Newhouse News Service Dec 15, 2024 Full Review Apocalypse Now (1979) 90% “It's the most ballyhooed movie since Gone With the Wind, and it's a much better one. If it has flaws they are the flaws of a romantic genius with the courage and tormented drive to transcend his limitations. It is, in short, a masterpiece.” – Newhouse News Service Sep 22, 2024 Full Review Aliens (1986) 94% “At bottom, Aliens is about nothing at all beyond squeezing yet another buck from what seven years ago was an original, arresting -- and profitable horror movie.” – Newhouse News Service Jul 24, 2024 Full Review When Harry Met Sally... (1989) 89% 3.5/4 “When Harry Met Sally... is both a joyous and heart-wrenching celebration of the rocky road to love between two of the most delectably self-deluded characters you're likely to meet outside the pages of Jane Austen.” – Newhouse News Service Jul 9, 2024 Full Review Spaceballs (1987) 52% “With his incomparably vulgar Borsht Belt sense of humor, leave it to Mel Brooks to kid the pants off such adolescent cosmic debris as the Star Wars and Star Trek epics in Spaceballs.” – Newhouse News Service Apr 11, 2024 Full Review Dune (1984) 36% “Dune the planet and Dune the motion picture are equally arid. The first lacks water; the second human interest. ” – Newhouse News Service Feb 14, 2024 Full Review Grease (1978) 66% “Grease is so huge -- in talent, in color, in general production values -- that your attention is distracted from the fact that it isn't about anything very much in particular. ” – Newhouse News Service Feb 8, 2024 Full Review Home Alone (1990) 66% “John Hughes' holiday treat for all us good kiddies this year is Home Alone. ” – Newhouse News Service Nov 28, 2023 Full Review Alien (1979) 93% “Alien is no ordinary movie. While its gruesome effects require a strong stomach, its overall impact requires an even strong mind and imagination. ” – Newhouse News Service Nov 16, 2023 Full Review Goodfellas (1990) 94% 9/10 “Truth not only is stranger than fiction, in the hands of a master moviemaker such as Martin Scorsese, it is stronger than fiction. ” – Newhouse News Service Oct 18, 2023 Full Review Moscow on the Hudson (1984) 73% “It's rescued to a considerable extent by bravura acting. ” – Newhouse News Service Aug 17, 2023 Full Review Batman (1989) 77% “Nicholson is so superb here that he lifts the whole enterprise into the stratosphere of summer movies. As they say, he alone is worth the price of admission.” – Newhouse News Service Jul 25, 2023 Full Review A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (1987) 68% “Freddie Fanciers may rest easy: Their hero, complete with burn scarred face, brown felt hat and stiletto fingers, is back in fine form. ” – Newhouse News Service Jul 20, 2023 Full Review The Color Purple (1985) 73% “Perhaps the finest thing about this fine but tendentious and episodic movie is the opportunities it gives some of the most glittering black talent in the country today to do their stuff. ” – Newhouse News Service May 25, 2023 Full Review Enemy Mine (1985) 61% “Like the all-too-aptly named Neverending Story, this is a leaden, constipated fantasy. ” – Newhouse News Service May 25, 2023 Full Review A Chorus Line (1985) 48% “On film, it has its own -- often glittering -- pleasures to offer, suggesting a less original All That Jazz merged with a less frenetic Fame. ” – Newhouse News Service May 25, 2023 Full Review An American Tail (1986) 77% “It's just a terrible idea, terribly executed.” – Newhouse News Service May 18, 2023 Full Review
