Do the Right Thing (1989) 92% 3.5/4 “...[Do the Right Thing] is impressively crafted, heartbreaking and often hilarious.” – News & Observer (Raleigh, NC) Mar 19, 2025 Full Review The Rescuers Down Under (1990) 85% 4/4 “It has pushed the limits of visual style to something that approaches the splendor of Pinocchio. It may be the most beautiful animated film ever made in this country.” – News & Observer (Raleigh, NC) Dec 15, 2024 Full Review The Little Mermaid (1989) 92% 4/4 “Laced with sentiment but without a trace of sentimentality, it's the studio's most effortlessly charming film in more than a decade.” – News & Observer (Raleigh, NC) Dec 13, 2024 Full Review Beetlejuice (1988) 83% 2/4 “The film is a collection of special effects that do not service either the humorous or the horrific and ends up neither fish nor fowl, but something frenetically in between.” – News & Observer (Raleigh, NC) Aug 22, 2024 Full Review Steel Magnolias (1989) 73% 3.5/4 “It is not a perfect work, but it is so full of Mr. Harling's beguiling generosity of spirit, and so beautifully parlayed into cinematic life by its remarkable cast, that such popular appeal is wholly deserved.” – News & Observer (Raleigh, NC) May 2, 2024 Full Review Spaceballs (1987) 52% 2/4 “Oh, each Brooks movie has its moments. But moments are all one usually gets from Brooks. And Spaceballs does nothing to alter the status of his comedic quo.” – News & Observer (Raleigh, NC) Apr 12, 2024 Full Review Goodfellas (1990) 94% 4/4 “I don't think anyone until now has given us a more detailed picture of the seduction of the underworld as Mr. Scorsese. The movie crackles with the kind of pop energy we associate with the best escapist fun, and yet it's balanced... on the side of art. ” – News & Observer (Raleigh, NC) Oct 18, 2023 Full Review Crossing Delancey (1988) 82% 2.5/4 “Crossing Delancey has a mundane feel to it, either too oddball or not quite idiosyncratic enough.” – News & Observer (Raleigh, NC) May 16, 2023 Full Review Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989) 84% 3/4 “What The Last Crusade lacks in thrills, it almost makes up for in idiosyncratic charm. This is to a large extent due to Sean Connery as Professor Jones the elder and to the byplay between the venerable actor and Mr. Ford. ” – News & Observer (Raleigh, NC) Apr 25, 2023 Full Review Oliver & Company (1988) 53% 3/4 “The Disney effort pulses with the beat of its urban setting. It moves briskly, stops now and again for an atmospheric interlude, then roars on with electric syncopation.” – News & Observer (Raleigh, NC) Aug 23, 2022 Full Review The Land Before Time (1988) 65% 2.5/4 “The filmmakers have not been content to let their movie speak for itself, and the straining for profundity is obvious and tiresome.” – News & Observer (Raleigh, NC) Aug 23, 2022 Full Review Driving Miss Daisy (1989) 85% 3/4 “Driving Miss Daisy is a feast for anyone who cares about acting. It may only hint at what its stars are capable of giving, but who can cavil when what we get is this superb?” – News & Observer (Raleigh, NC) Jul 25, 2022 Full Review The Witches of Eastwick (1987) 66% 2.5/4 “I found it fascinating, amusing and at moments beautiful. It also may be imaginative, literate and adult at a time when 14-year-olds seem to dictate what the rest of us get to see at the movies. But it isn't Updike.” – News & Observer (Raleigh, NC) Apr 22, 2022 Full Review The Silence of the Lambs (1991) 95% 4/4 “The Silence of the Lambs is a fever dream of a movie -- beautiful and terrifying arid surreal.” – News & Observer (Raleigh, NC) Mar 23, 2022 Full Review Stand and Deliver (1988) 89% 3.5/4 “Mark Van Doren once noted that "the art of teaching is the art of assisting self-discovery." So, too, filmmaking. Stand and Deliver does.” – News & Observer (Raleigh, NC) Aug 10, 2021 Full Review La Bamba (1987) 83% 3.5/4 “More than a week after seeing the film, I cannot shake La Bamba's people, its vitality, the freshness of its vision, and the profoundly honest way it views the milieu of its characters and the larger American canvas surrounding them.” – News & Observer (Raleigh, NC) Aug 10, 2021 Full Review
