All Dogs Go to Heaven (1989)
46%
“What kills the movie is its poorly imagined plot. Ann Marie's hapless situation has been made up entirely so Charlie can become a hero -- and there's no chemistry between them.” –

Home Alone (1990)

“John Hughes latest effort isn't a movie, exactly. It's an ineptly paced, slapstick cartoon that actors Catherine O'Hara, John Heard, Joe Pesci, and Daniel Stern can't redeem. ” –

Hard-Boiled (1992)
92%
3/4
“Hard-Boiled is both a thrilling cartoon and a frightening example of how exaggerating violence makes us numb to it. Still, if you're an action-adventure fan, it's impossible to resist a director who never insults your intelligence.” –

Thousand Pieces of Gold (1990)
88%
“1000 Pieces of Gold documents the lives of women who have thus far remained invisible. And Lalu’s own story is compelling, recounting the life of a woman who’s able to determine her own fate in a world in which she’s virtually powerless.” –

Blast From the Past (1999)
58%
“The film embraces the view that the wholesomeness we now associate with the early 60s was more than superficial. Anyone looking for a more skeptical reading of the time will be disappointed.” –
