The American President (1995) 90% 3/4 EDIT “Gosh, it's been a long time since the movies got romance right. ” – Knight Ridder News Service Jan 22, 2026 Full Review Nuremberg (2025) 72% 3/4 EDIT “It’s clear Vanderbilt wants us to be thinking about the present as he depicts the past. He also argues that what makes Göring’s behavior especially horrifying is that he was a person with a wife, a child and a serious lack of empathy.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Nov 6, 2025 Full Review Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002) 62% EDIT “This "Star Wars" improves on the last one.” – St. Paul Pioneer Press Aug 18, 2025 Full Review Babe (1995) 98% 3/4 EDIT “I can't imagine anybody who wouldn't love this move, and if they're out there, I don't want to meet them.” – Knight Ridder News Service Jul 29, 2025 Full Review I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997) 47% EDIT “Some of the dialogue is clever, but the references aren't as up-to-the-minute as they should be. ” – Knight Ridder News Service Jul 15, 2025 Full Review Mission: Impossible (1996) 67% EDIT “The movie isn't perfect, but it succeeds on its own terms: De Palma set out to make fast, smart, popcorn entertainment. Mission accomplished.” – St. Paul Pioneer Press May 6, 2025 Full Review Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980) 93% 4/4 EDIT “The most compelling thing about "Empire" has nothing to do with effects. It's Mr. Woke-Up-on-the-Wrong-Side-of-the-Millennium himself, Darth Vader. As he gets deeper and more devious, so does the whole trilogy.” – Knight Ridder News Service Apr 23, 2025 Full Review American Psycho (2000) 68% 3/4 EDIT “Harron's methodical direction echoes Bateman's matter-of-fact take on murder.” – St. Paul Pioneer Press Apr 5, 2025 Full Review The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996) 80% 2.5/4 EDIT “The plot is emotionally complex, and most of the songs are discordant. You don't have to be a graduate of the Sorbonne to understand this, but it would help if you're a graduate of the fourth grade.” – Knight Ridder News Service Dec 18, 2024 Full Review A Complete Unknown (2024) 82% 2.5/4 EDIT ““A Complete Unknown” doesn’t pretend to have answers about where Dylan’s sound came from but, by focusing on a tight frame, it’s able to hint at the influences and ideas the songwriter was taking in. ” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Dec 10, 2024 Full Review Scream (1996) 78% 3/4 EDIT “Scream makes screaming fun again. ” – Knight Ridder News Service Oct 10, 2024 Full Review Alien Resurrection (1997) 56% 3/4 EDIT “The fourth in the Alien series is the slimiest, the funniest and the most perverse -- which is to say, bring it on!” – Knight Ridder News Service Aug 7, 2024 Full Review Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024) 90% 3.5/4 EDIT “There aren't many directors who understand action as well as Miller does and, like "Fury Road," "Furiosa" is filled with awe-inspiring displays of stunt work choreography. ” – Minneapolis Star Tribune May 21, 2024 Full Review Back to Black (2024) 35% 2/4 EDIT “Success came early and easily to Winehouse. There has to be a story there, too, but "Black" doesn't tell it.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune May 15, 2024 Full Review Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes (2024) 80% 3.5/4 EDIT “"Kingdom" is an entirely new story. Parts of it will hit differently if you've seen its predecessors but you could also make this your first "Apes" movie without missing a beat. ” – Minneapolis Star Tribune May 8, 2024 Full Review The Fall Guy (2024) 82% 3/4 EDIT “Unwieldy, with what seems to be an ending that's followed by 30 more minutes of mayhem, but it also makes it feel like it contains just about everything you'd want in a summer movie.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune May 1, 2024 Full Review Challengers (2024) 88% 3/4 EDIT “I hope you're getting the sense that "Challengers" is a much bolder, more — sorry — challenging movie than it appears to be.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Apr 23, 2024 Full Review Civil War (2024) 81% 3/4 EDIT “The raw, up-close footage is so immersive that, in the moment, I bought it. ” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Apr 10, 2024 Full Review Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire (2024) 42% 2.5/4 EDIT “It's tough to balance the casual vibe required for comedy to work with the effortfulness of huge special effects, but "Frozen Empire" pulls it off.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Mar 21, 2024 Full Review Drive-Away Dolls (2024) 64% 2.5/4 EDIT “The humor is, as the screenwriters have gleefully acknowledged, "juvenile," but the performances are vivid and, honestly, I'd watch a whole movie starring deadpan Bill Camp as Curlie, who rents the women the car that leads to all of their adventures.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Mar 6, 2024 Full Review Dune: Part Two (2024) 92% 3.5/4 EDIT “As in all of these sci-fi epics, there are plenty of scenes in which computer-generated characters drive computer-generated vehicles past computer-generated backdrops but, in "Dune," it feels human, slightly messy and organic. ” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Mar 6, 2024 Full Review Pulp Fiction (1994) 92% EDIT “You know the feeling you get when you hit the zone on your favorite radio station and there are half a dozen great songs in a row? That exhilarating combination of surprise arid familiarity is duplicated in the new Quentin Tarantino movie Pulp Fiction.” – Knight Ridder News Service Feb 29, 2024 Full Review Bob Marley: One Love (2024) 43% 2/4 EDIT “Lashana Lynch is outstanding as the legendary musician's talented, principled wife. ” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Feb 13, 2024 Full Review Lisa Frankenstein (2024) 52% 1/4 EDIT “It's an attempt at comedy and romance. Neither works. ” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Feb 7, 2024 Full Review Argylle (2024) 33% 2/4 EDIT “When the stakes change every five minutes in a movie, that's the same thing as there being nothing at stake.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Feb 2, 2024 Full Review
