North (1994) 12% EDIT “"North" is a misdirected, misguided misfire.” – Dallas Morning News Jan 23, 2026 Full Review Misery (1990) 87% EDIT “Reiner is an expert manipulator of chills and humor.” – Dallas Morning News Jan 22, 2026 Full Review The Princess Bride (1987) 93% EDIT “It is entirely possible that a future film historian will simply describe Carl Reiner in a footnote as "a comedy director, and the father of Rob."” – Dallas Morning News Jan 7, 2026 Full Review The Abyss (1989) 76% EDIT “The underwater adventure-romance-suspense film is superbly directed.” – Dallas Morning News Dec 9, 2025 Full Review The Running Man (1987) 59% EDIT “The movie's non-stop action grows tiring. Also, there's no real way to give "The Running Man" a measurable degree of suspense.” – Dallas Morning News Nov 6, 2025 Full Review Year of the Dragon (1985) 55% EDIT “Cimino has directed a very watchable movie -- which isn't the same thing as a good movie.” – Dallas Morning News Aug 20, 2025 Full Review Waterworld (1995) 60% 3/4 EDIT “Waterworld delivers as an action-adventure flick. ” – Dallas Morning News Jul 28, 2025 Full Review The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! (1988) 88% EDIT “This movie has the spirit of a 13-year-old who brings a whoopee cushion to a dinner party. The dialogue is out of a well-written fraternity skit. The jokes come fast and furious; you will roar at many and sneer at some.” – Dallas Morning News Jul 24, 2025 Full Review Mission: Impossible (1996) 67% EDIT “The movie has too much vitality to allow itself to be overly analyzed; so just participate in the magic carpet ride.” – Dallas Morning News May 13, 2025 Full Review The Breakfast Club (1985) 87% EDIT “Hughes has a strong sense of reality, and his screenplay shows an understanding of the pressures faced by teen-agers. But rest assured that The Breakfast Club is essentially a comedy, with crunchy dialogue and amusing situations.” – Dallas Morning News Feb 14, 2025 Full Review Alien Resurrection (1997) 56% EDIT “Dramatically, it's a hollow shell. Visually, it's a splendid nightmare. The saving grace is an offbeat sense of humor.” – Dallas Morning News Aug 6, 2024 Full Review Aliens (1986) 94% EDIT “Audiences stand in line to see movies such as Aliens to be thrilled, chilled, terrified and, generally speaking, to be made as nervous as all get-out. Aliens accomplishes all this with determination and artistry.” – Dallas Morning News Jul 29, 2024 Full Review Twister (1996) 68% 3/4 EDIT “As pure spectacle, Twister sets out to leave you breathless. If it dawdles on the ground, it'll blow you away when the winds kick up.” – Dallas Morning News Jul 16, 2024 Full Review When Harry Met Sally... (1989) 90% 3/4 EDIT “The movie is a signal triumph for virtually all its participants. ” – Dallas Morning News Jul 3, 2024 Full Review Home Alone (1990) 66% EDIT “By emphasizing comic inventiveness rather than sentimentality, it's a perfect Christmas film for the '90s.” – Dallas Morning News Nov 28, 2023 Full Review Lone Star (1996) 91% EDIT “This brilliant film, the year's best so far, has the feel of a novel, but what... John Sayles has really created is epic cinematic poetry. It's resplendent with border-town atmosphere, heated by torrid weather and searing emotions.” – Dallas Morning News Sep 6, 2023 Full Review Moscow on the Hudson (1984) 74% EDIT “Moscow on the Hudson has lapses, but none is serious enough to sabotage the film. The film is blessed with a living idea and stylish execution. ” – Dallas Morning News Aug 17, 2023 Full Review The Matrix (1999) 83% EDIT “Much of the time, you wonder what all the fighting is about. At 135 minutes, the movie seems longer than a millennium.” – Dallas Morning News Jul 11, 2023 Full Review Godzilla (1998) 20% EDIT “What keeps the movie from being a complete summer bummer is the grace of the monster itself... But all the sound and fury of modern technical wizardry can't compensate for the film's hollowness.” – Dallas Morning News Feb 15, 2023 Full Review Rain Man (1988) 88% 3/4 EDIT “Your affection for Hoffman's character, Raymond Babbitt, grows slowly, but it lingers with a sweet aftertaste.” – Dallas Morning News Aug 4, 2022 Full Review Grease (1978) 65% EDIT “Grease has energy and a total commitment to pleasing its audience.” – Dallas Morning News Mar 5, 2018 Full Review Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977) 94% EDIT “Star Wars is enchanting in the most literal sense of the word. It's pure comic strip fantasy, to be enjoyed even more by nostalgic adults than by wide-eyed youngsters.” – Dallas Morning News May 8, 2007 Full Review All the King's Men (2006) 12% D+ EDIT “Watching All the King's Men's downward tumble makes for perverse fun, with the emphasis on perverse.” – Dallas Morning News Sep 22, 2006 Full Review Mystic India (2004) 83% B+ EDIT “The film celebrates India's diversity and makes a strong and moving plea for unity among the peoples of the world.” – Dallas Morning News Sep 15, 2006 Full Review The Last Kiss (2006) 45% B EDIT “The Last Kiss is a good movie.” – Dallas Morning News Sep 15, 2006 Full Review
