Mission: Impossible II (2000) 57% 2.5/4 “The editing, designed to make the carnage PG-13 palatable, works against Woo's strength: the impossible accumulation of running, fighting, shooting and kabooming to a point of transcendent action-movie heaven. Alas, heaven isn't happening here. ” – Philadelphia Inquirer May 8, 2025 Full Review Mission: Impossible (1996) 65% 2.5/4 “It moves, awkwardly at times, from one elaborate set-piece to the next.” – Philadelphia Inquirer May 6, 2025 Full Review Girls Town (1996) 81% 3/4 “Although Girls Town has moments that border on the moral didacticism of an afterschool special, these too are leavened by the actresses' honest, hard-hitting portrayals. ” – Philadelphia Inquirer Nov 14, 2024 Full Review Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992) 69% 3/4 “Truly, there is too much going on here, and the results are exhausting. At the same time, the film's very busyness is part of Dracula's undeniable charm. If there is glory in excess, Coppola's movie is glorious.” – Philadelphia Inquirer Sep 26, 2024 Full Review I Think I Do (1997) 42% 2.5/4 “I Think I Do gets a little too cute for its own good, but the cast is perky and diverting, and Sloan has a breezy way with dialogue.” – Philadelphia Inquirer Apr 17, 2024 Full Review Grease (1978) 66% 2.5/4 “Entertainingly cheesy adaptation of the hit Broadway musical... set in the sock-hop splendor of the late '50s, and tells the tale of a good girl from Down Under and a bad boy who drives down Thunder Road grappling with peer pressure and skintight pants. ” – Philadelphia Inquirer Feb 6, 2024 Full Review The Last of the Mohicans (1992) 88% 3/4 “A fierce, combustible, charismatic performance, Day-Lewis' Nathaniel Poe, a.k.a. Hawkeye, a.k.a. the Long Carabine, is the great glue that holds together Michael Mann's visceral, nearly abstract version of James Fenimore Cooper's The Last of the Mohicans.” – Philadelphia Inquirer Dec 15, 2023 Full Review Home Alone (1990) 66% 3/5 “Home Alone works -- it's funny, stupid, affably sentimental, and on occasion, even inspired. ” – Philadelphia Inquirer Nov 29, 2023 Full Review Lone Star (1996) 91% 4/4 “Kris Kristofferson makes a powerful impression as the corrupt, bigoted Sheriff Charley Wade. And Malthew McConaughey, although he essentially appears in just one scene, does an indelible turn as the fabled Buddy Deeds.” – Philadelphia Inquirer Sep 6, 2023 Full Review Hard-Boiled (1992) 92% 3/4 “Woo's operatic tale of warring mobsters and the implacable cop caught between them can be enormous fun. But if you start to think what all this mega-violence is really about, Woo's brand of high-body-count cinema can be spiritually draining.” – Philadelphia Inquirer Jul 27, 2023 Full Review The Matrix (1999) 83% 3.5/4 “The Matrix offers the most exhilaratingly inventive action sequences to come down the pike in years. ” – Philadelphia Inquirer Jul 12, 2023 Full Review Magnolia (1999) 82% 3.5/4 “Anderson, 29, does so much in Magnolia, with such nerve, with wily humor and out-of-the-blue bravado, that the film's flaws and lapses don't really matter. It ain't perfect, but it's awe-inspiring.” – Philadelphia Inquirer Jun 30, 2023 Full Review Heavenly Creatures (1994) 95% 4/4 “It takes us to a lush place, defined by passion and imagination, where reality intrudes with surprising, gruesome results. ” – Philadelphia Inquirer May 16, 2023 Full Review Army of Darkness (1992) 68% 3/4 “Replete with thumping horse hooves, the battle cries of lusty men and the banshee screams of the living dead, Raimi's movie comes at you with a noisy, jokey swagger. Its hero even says "groovy" and gets away with it. ” – Philadelphia Inquirer Mar 31, 2023 Full Review Godzilla (1998) 20% 2.5/4 “Godzilla leaves nothing to the imagination. It also leaves nothing much for its stars to do. ” – Philadelphia Inquirer Feb 15, 2023 Full Review Wild Things (1998) 64% 2.5/4 “A collision of epically awful thespianism. It's like watching particles of antimatter crashing into each other: mutual annihilation on a massive scale. ” – Philadelphia Inquirer Feb 2, 2023 Full Review Copycat (1995) 76% 3/5 “A straightforward intelligent thriller. ” – Philadelphia Inquirer Aug 11, 2022 Full Review Beloved (1998) 72% 3/4 “Beloved has moments of keening power and terrifying poetry.” – Philadelphia Inquirer Feb 2, 2022 Full Review The Watermelon Woman (1996) 92% 3/4 “[It] has the poignancy of a history retrieved from obscurity, reflecting new light on the past and the present. And even if the history here isn't real, the emotions it triggers - and its sly musings about racial and sexual identity - most definitely are.” – Philadelphia Inquirer Jan 22, 2022 Full Review Flashpoint (1984) 57% 2/4 “Flashpoint is the first feature film by William Tannen, veteran 온라인카지노추천 commercial director, and his inexperience working with actors and plot shows.” – Philadelphia Inquirer Apr 15, 2021 Full Review Girlfight (2000) 87% 3/4 “The world of Girlfight feels real, and so does Rodriguez's Diana. You're with her every step of the way.” – Philadelphia Inquirer Mar 24, 2021 Full Review Bhaji on the Beach (1993) 88% 2.5/4 “The charm dissipates as a confrontation between Ginder and her estranged husband turns brutal and, alas, not terribly well directed.” – Philadelphia Inquirer Mar 18, 2021 Full Review The Dark Tower (2017) 16% 1.5/4 “Though I'm generally not one to complain about a movie being too short, this adaptation seems to have achieved its brevity by eliminating most of what was good about the books and leaving in most of what wasn't.” – Philadelphia Daily News Aug 3, 2017 Full Review Jackie (2016) 88% 3/4 “It is a fever dream of a movie, tracking its subject as she tries to maintain control, maintain her composure, her sanity.” – Philadelphia Inquirer Dec 15, 2016 Full Review Arrival (2016) 94% 3/4 “Arrival is at once majestic and melancholy. It's a grand endeavor, and Adams, at the center of it all, brings pluck and smarts and a deep-seated sorrow to her role. This is her movie, no doubt.” – Philadelphia Inquirer Nov 9, 2016 Full Review
