North (1994) 12% 2/4 EDIT “Most of "North" bombs so badly, you'll wish you had waited for the video.” – New York Daily News Jan 24, 2026 Full Review The Princess Bride (1987) 93% EDIT “Every scene and nearly every sentence twists away into an unexpected direction as the characters make their way from the Cliffs of Insanity to the Pit of Despair. The Princess Bride is sheer entertainment. ” – New York Post Jan 7, 2026 Full Review True Lies (1994) 77% EDIT “After the smoke clears, True Lies is a wry commentary on the interplay of trust, perception and expectations among family members. ” – New York Daily News Dec 10, 2025 Full Review Boogie Nights (1997) 91% 4/4 EDIT “No, it's not real, it's a prosthesis. That said, the most salient feature of the often hilarious and oddly affecting Boogie Nights is how emotionally realistic is its period portrait of a close-knit group porn film makers.” – New York Daily News Sep 24, 2025 Full Review Waterworld (1995) 60% EDIT “Its best feature is its unique and meticulous vision of a waterlogged future.” – New York Daily News Jul 28, 2025 Full Review Red Rock West (1993) 95% 3/4 EDIT “While "Red Rock West" is not the film noir we've been waiting for, at least it doesn't embarrass itself, and in its own inoffensive way makes a case for noirish material conducted in a commercially accessible style.” – New York Daily News Jul 15, 2025 Full Review Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1987) 16% EDIT “It's lazy, muddled, ambivalent, almost uneventful. ” – New York Post Jul 3, 2025 Full Review The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997) 57% 3/4 EDIT “There's not much story or character development here, but you don't need that when you've got dynamite dinosaurs of all stripes and appetites.” – New York Daily News Jun 30, 2025 Full Review Final Destination (2000) 50% 2/4 EDIT “Not likely to be showing on any in-flight screen soon is "Final Destination," a mediocre fright-fest.” – New York Daily News May 21, 2025 Full Review Dirty Work (1998) 21% 0/4 EDIT “They say revenge is sweet, but what they fail to take into account is that in the wrong hands, revenge can be really, really dull. That's the case with "Dirty Work."” – New York Daily News May 15, 2025 Full Review Mission: Impossible (1996) 67% 2.5/4 EDIT “Even though DePalma didn't originate the idea of silently lowering a thief to his task from the ceiling, he executes it so deftly here that it saves the movie from its dense murk of plot.” – New York Daily News May 6, 2025 Full Review Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980) 93% 4/4 EDIT “"Empire" leaves no asteroid unturned when it comes to bizarre characters, special effects, set design and themes of good versus evil and what it takes to become a man.” – New York Daily News Apr 23, 2025 Full Review Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977) 94% 3.5/4 EDIT “An old story. But George Lucas made it a fresh story for new generations, and it holds up today remarkably well. ” – New York Daily News Apr 22, 2025 Full Review The Wedding Banquet (1993) 94% 3.5/4 EDIT “There are some missteps and a few clunky scenes, mostly in the set-up, but otherwise the movie is cleverly directed and co-written by first-time feature director Ang Lee.” – New York Daily News Apr 15, 2025 Full Review American Psycho (2000) 68% 3/4 EDIT “Bale is perfect for the role.” – New York Daily News Apr 4, 2025 Full Review A Goofy Movie (1995) 64% 2/4 EDIT “The rest of us can recall "Bambi", proof from the same studio that a movie can be good and touch children at the same time.” – New York Daily News Apr 1, 2025 Full Review Mulan (1998) 91% 4/4 EDIT “It features exquisite, silky backgrounds and enough action, romance and silly stuff for all ages and genders.” – New York Daily News Dec 20, 2024 Full Review Hercules (1997) 83% 4/4 EDIT “Disney has found a Grecian formula that promises to be an Olympic-sized hit.” – New York Daily News Dec 18, 2024 Full Review The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996) 80% 4/4 EDIT “It's not what Victor Hugo had in mind, yet it works magnificently. ” – New York Daily News Dec 18, 2024 Full Review Pocahontas (1995) 59% 3/4 EDIT “Unfortunately, though luscious to look at and painstakingly rendered, Pocahontas is an unusually joyless affair. The adventurous beauty rejects one suitor because he is too "serious," but this movie barely registers on the humor meter.” – New York Daily News Dec 17, 2024 Full Review Shall We Dance? (1996) 90% 3/4 EDIT “This charming comedy uses dance as a metaphor for individual expression, risk-taking and intellectual flight.” – New York Daily News Sep 10, 2024 Full Review Twister (1996) 68% 3.5/4 EDIT “Twister swirls in as the first of the big summer movies, a beautifully shot action picture with heart-stopping effects. It's by and for adrenaline junkies.” – New York Daily News Jul 16, 2024 Full Review Little Women (1994) 92% 3/4 EDIT “The movie is loving and refined, a snowy picture postcard of youth, innocence and sisterly devotion. ” – New York Daily News Apr 11, 2024 Full Review Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994) 92% 3.5/4 EDIT “The Richard Curtis screenplay is as tightly wound as the springs on alarm clocks -- the ones that never seem to wake Charles early enough to get him to the church on time.” – New York Daily News Feb 29, 2024 Full Review Y tu mamá también (2001) 90% 3.5/4 EDIT “Although the pace is buoyantly charming, Cuarón -- and his screenwriter brother, Carlos Cuarón -- never let the viewer forget that life and death go on outside the car windows.” – New York Daily News Sep 9, 2023 Full Review
