Back to School (1986) 81% “To describe "Back to School" as a laugh-a-minute romp does not do it justice. Every 15 seconds is closer to the truth.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Feb 27, 2025 Full Review Aliens (1986) 94% “Let's not mince words: Aliens is the greatest horror movie since Frankenstein. Here is a rare instance in which a sequel is infinitely superior to the original. Alien, the 1979 thriller, now seems like a preliminary sketch.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Jul 30, 2024 Full Review The Legend of Billie Jean (1985) 39% “It is very small potatoes.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Nov 17, 2023 Full Review Batman (1989) 77% 3/4 “Engaging, comic and non-threatening when it might have been dangerous and mesmerizingly hard to take. But given the current alternatives, we should be grateful for the pleasures provided, even as we indulge in little sighs of regret.” – News & Observer (Raleigh, NC) Jul 25, 2023 Full Review The Color Purple (1985) 73% “The principal roles are marvelously cast and the main characters are superbly realized. Spielberg's direction is loving, but suffocating. He gives the audience no opportunity to form an opinion about anything. Every reaction is dictated. ” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution May 25, 2023 Full Review Christine (1983) 73% “Cinematically, the possibilities are enormous and Carpenter is equal to the occasion. Some of the visuals are eye-popping. ” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution May 12, 2023 Full Review Evil Dead II (1987) 88% “No matter how much money Bruce Campbell received to play Ash, one can't help feeling that he was underpaid. One wonders if any leading man, or even a stuntman, has ever had such a workout.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Mar 28, 2023 Full Review Amadeus (1984) 90% “Peter Shaffer's Amadeus is scrumptiously beautiful, sizzlingly alive and bristling with social comedy. His screenplay contains the most piercing account of deadly envy since Othello, and is a heartbreaking account of a good man's fall from grace.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Jul 11, 2022 Full Review Predator (1987) 80% “At a moment when Rambo-style blood-baths are thought to have fallen from favor, along comes Predator, which may not be the daintiest movie ever made but is a knock-your-socks-off thriller. Originality and pep still go a long way in moviemaking. ” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Apr 21, 2022 Full Review Mishima (1985) 79% 3/5 “The miracle is that Schrader achieves as much as he does.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Apr 4, 2022 Full Review The Secret of NIMH (1982) 93% 3/5 “Oddly enough, Secret of NIMH may be more enjoyable for adults than for kiddies. Because of the intensity, the picture is definitely not recommended for anyone under six.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Nov 9, 2021 Full Review Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982) 86% 4/5 “Star Trek II tells a sock-'em story, which is more than can be said for the first Star Trek movie. Nicholas Meyer, an energetic director, is a master of narrative, and Star Trek II crackles with his wit.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Nov 9, 2021 Full Review The Thing (1982) 85% 2/5 “Such a pity. John Carpenter is too gifted a moviemaker to let nauseating special effects take over his biggest film, but that's what happened in The Thing.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Nov 9, 2021 Full Review Porky's (1981) 33% 2/5 “A sequel to this ghastly comedy is already in production. What a shame.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Nov 9, 2021 Full Review Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) 94% 5/5 “Sensational... Under Steven Spielberg's witty and brisk direction, "Raiders" depicts more hair's-breadth escapes than would seem possible in a two-hour movie. This is a terrific moviegoing experience.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Nov 9, 2021 Full Review Pacific High (1980) 2/5 “Disney fails to catch a sense of excitement and, at the end, you are not even certain who won.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Nov 9, 2021 Full Review E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982) 99% 5/5 “Don't be intimidated by those long lines. E.T. is worth standing in line for. Steven Spielberg's story is the essence of fairy-tale simplicity.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Nov 9, 2021 Full Review Firefox (1982) 41% 3/5 “Director-star Clint Eastwood trots out a spy thriller of such complexity that even Five Fingers suddenly seems simplistic. But Clint is a fine storyteller and Firefox makes sense, if you pay attention.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Nov 9, 2021 Full Review Diner (1982) 92% 4/5 “A joyous comedy, celebrating a bygone era.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Nov 9, 2021 Full Review Conan the Barbarian (1982) 67% 4/5 “A dynamite movie for comic book fans... The moment Thulsa Doom turns into a snake will either thrill you or make you squirm, but you will watch in fascination.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Nov 9, 2021 Full Review Blade Runner (1982) 89% 3/5 “Ridley Scott ought to be a set decorator, rather than a director. In Blade Runner, he loses sight of the story while devoting all his attention to decor and lighting. The decor and lighting, it must be admitted, are stupendous.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Nov 9, 2021 Full Review Das Boot (1981) 98% “This is the finest submarine movie ever made. Although director Wolfgang Petersen emphasizes the claustrophobia of undersea life, his above-surface scenes are powerful as well.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Nov 9, 2021 Full Review Poltergeist II (1986) 20% “Until the last five minutes, Poltergeist II is an admirable sequel. This is definitely not a ripoff. An abundance of attention has been paid.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Nov 1, 2021 Full Review From the Hip (1987) 30% “Stormy is the richest and most adult character Judd Nelson has played. And Nelson gives the welcome impression that he is growing up and coming to terms with things.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Sep 25, 2021 Full Review Teen Wolf Too (1987) 8% “Makes the original seem like an important work of art.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Sep 4, 2021 Full Review
