Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977) 94% “Star Wars not only changed the way we look at films but also altered a movie industry that, after 60 years, was threatening to grow up all serious and surly.” – Detroit Free Press Apr 22, 2025 Full Review Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999) 54% 2/4 “For all this film's talk of the Force, there's no soul in the machine.” – Detroit Free Press Apr 16, 2025 Full Review The Wedding Banquet (1993) 92% 3/4 “It becomes deeper and smarter as each character confronts the truth about what it is he or she wants.” – Dayton Daily News Apr 16, 2025 Full Review Withnail and I (1987) 83% “The sort of film we'll remember long after they've turned Woodstock into a miniseries or Abbie Hoffman turns up felling old Strawberry Alarm Clock records on late-night television.” – Dayton Daily News Apr 4, 2025 Full Review Do the Right Thing (1989) 92% 3/4 “Do the Right Thing is a powerful, provocative assessment of race relations in urban America, and it also is brilliantly effective moviemaking, by turns hilarious and tragic, sad and suggestive. ” – Dayton Daily News Mar 13, 2025 Full Review Back to School (1986) 81% “...this movie's notable lack of pretension and Dangerfield's lovable schlepper persona make for a winning combination.” – Dayton Daily News Feb 27, 2025 Full Review Scream 3 (2000) 43% 3/4 “Its advantage, on the other hand, is that it rewards our intelligence as well as tests it. ” – Detroit Free Press Feb 19, 2025 Full Review Scream 2 (1997) 82% 3/4 “Like all good movies, it makes its own rules, and seduces us into accepting them. ” – Detroit Free Press Feb 5, 2025 Full Review Blue Velvet (1986) 91% “Whatever you may think of this funny, repellent, nightmarish and incredibly original film, Lynch has guts and vision, two qualities as rare in today's Hollywood as good corned beef is in today's Dayton. ” – Dayton Daily News Jan 22, 2025 Full Review Tarzan (1999) 90% 4/4 “The Tarzan saga has never been so faithfully told, has never been so rich in character and conflict, and has never been so wonderfully entertaining.” – Detroit Free Press Dec 20, 2024 Full Review Mulan (1998) 92% 4/4 “Though the season is barely started, it's hard to imagine there will be a more entertaining summer movie than Mulan, and there's almost no chance there will be one as artful and endearing.” – Detroit Free Press Dec 20, 2024 Full Review The Lion King (1994) 93% 3.5/4 “The movie's truest pleasure is in its deft development of the characters, especially the comic creations. ” – Dayton Daily News Dec 19, 2024 Full Review Hercules (1997) 83% 4/4 “Forget those high-fat, fast-food stomach churners clogging the other theaters in the multiplex like so much bad cholesterol: This is the true joy ride of the summer.” – Detroit Free Press Dec 18, 2024 Full Review The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996) 80% 4/4 “Artistically, it's a triumph, definitive proof that traditional hand-drawn cel animation and computer-generated imagery can not only co-exist but combine to create something magical. ” – Detroit Free Press Dec 18, 2024 Full Review Pocahontas (1995) 58% 2.5/4 “Pocahontas strives for Romeo and Juliet-style sentiment, but it is shackled by its own constraints. The lovers can't really rise above the petty jealousies of their elders because, as the film never stops reminding us, the issues aren't petty.” – Dayton Daily News Dec 17, 2024 Full Review Aladdin (1992) 96% 4/4 “The real center of Aladdin is Williams' performance, and though Williams is never seen on screen, his personality permeates the movie; like the genie, he is its prevailing spirit.” – Dayton Daily News Dec 16, 2024 Full Review Beauty and the Beast (1991) 95% 4/4 “Beauty and the Beast establishes new standards that all subsequent animated films will be asked to live up to. Walt would, and should, be proud.” – Dayton Daily News Dec 16, 2024 Full Review The Prince and the Pauper (1990) 76% “Any excuse to get Mickey on the big screen is OK by me, but despite some beautiful backgrounds, this short, too, is something less than magical.” – Dayton Daily News Dec 15, 2024 Full Review The Rescuers Down Under (1990) 85% 2/4 “The animation matches the story and the lead characters: competent and thoroughly unexceptional.” – Dayton Daily News Dec 15, 2024 Full Review The Little Mermaid (1989) 92% 3.5/4 “With The Little Mermaid, the Disney executives have done much more than fulfill a corporate pledge. With the help of an inventive yet traditionally minded young team of animators... they've reclaimed the throne in the Magic Kingdom.” – Dayton Daily News Dec 13, 2024 Full Review Scream (1996) 77% 3/4 “It's the ultimate game of gotcha.” – Detroit Free Press Oct 11, 2024 Full Review Shall We Dance? (1996) 90% 3/4 “If Shall We Dance? is as simplified as one of those color-coded mats that show you exactly where to plant your feet in a proper fox trot, it is also sweetly entertaining and sincere.” – Detroit Free Press Sep 10, 2024 Full Review Beetlejuice (1988) 83% 3/4 “Beetlejuice is one of those rare pictures that manages to be both inventive and commercial, silly and sophisticated. ” – Dayton Daily News Aug 21, 2024 Full Review Alien Resurrection (1997) 55% 2/4 “Alien Resurrection is creepily beautiful. What we have here is one good-looking, but deathly cold, corpse.” – Detroit Free Press Aug 7, 2024 Full Review Aliens (1986) 94% “Aliens is a film that seems destined to catapult Cameron into the ranks of moviemakers like Lucas and Spielberg, and one that seems destined to satisfy legions of moviegoers for the rest of the summer. ” – Dayton Daily News Jul 24, 2024 Full Review
