Raging Bull (1980) 92% EDIT “Extraordinary, electric, perverse, brilliant -- they are puny words to describe Robert De Niro in this unflinching biography of Jake La Motta. ” – People Magazine Oct 10, 2023 Full Review Gandhi (1982) 89% EDIT “The results are more than worth the elephantine effort: Gandhi is this decade's Lawrence of Arabia, a visually magnificent, historically sweeping film that succeeds in capturing the humanity of its magnetic central figure. ” – People Magazine Jul 19, 2022 Full Review The Ballad of Little Jo (1993) 77% EDIT “Amis, previously a standout in supporting roles in such films as Rich in Love and Rocket Gibraltar, easily carries this emotionally complex movie.” – People Magazine Mar 17, 2021 Full Review The Joy Luck Club (1993) 86% EDIT “It would be difficult to conjure any mother and daughter unable to identify with the women of The Joy Luck Club.” – People Magazine Dec 17, 2020 Full Review Superman III (1983) 31% EDIT “If not as exhilarating as Superman II, Superman III is surprising and boisterously witty.” – People Magazine Aug 13, 2020 Full Review The Karate Kid Part II (1986) 49% EDIT “The film is ultimately too predictable, even somewhat tiresome, and Karate Kid Part II goes down kicking.” – People Magazine Aug 12, 2020 Full Review Stand and Deliver (1988) 89% EDIT “Olmos provides plenty to stand up and cheer about even when the film is not delivering much else in the way of substance.” – People Magazine Aug 12, 2020 Full Review National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon 1 (1993) 21% EDIT “There are enough serious laughs to suggest that Quintano may give the Abrahams-Zucker team (Naked Gun; Airplane) substantial competition in the mainstream parody business.” – People Magazine Aug 11, 2020 Full Review Showgirls (1995) 24% EDIT “To say this movie is smarmy is to understate the case. To say it stinks is more like it.” – People Magazine Aug 11, 2020 Full Review Innerspace (1987) 80% EDIT “Watching Innerspace is like riding a familiar roller coaster: It's decent fun but the thrill is gone.” – People Magazine Aug 6, 2020 Full Review Heartbreak Ridge (1986) 66% EDIT “Screenwriter Jim Carabatsos (yes, the very guy who wrote No Mercy) is a Vietnam vet. Yet he seems to have no idea of how men fight, get along or talk.” – People Magazine Aug 6, 2020 Full Review Free Willy 2: The Adventure Home (1995) 50% EDIT “Prepare for another hour and a half's worth of warm fuzzies. Willy the whale and his human pal, 14-year-old Jesse, are back together, and Moby Dick they aren't.” – People Magazine Aug 3, 2020 Full Review Heaven Can Wait (1978) 84% EDIT “Along the way there is fun, football, romance and thoroughly satisfying unreality. Movies are supposed to be like this.” – People Magazine Jul 13, 2020 Full Review Path to War (2002) 100% EDIT “Alec Baldwin excelled as former Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara.” – People Magazine Jun 29, 2020 Full Review Some Kind of Wonderful (1987) 76% EDIT “Masterson and Stoltz possess talent and charm to spare. Here are actors making characters of what could have been cartoons.” – People Magazine Jun 17, 2020 Full Review Benny & Joon (1993) 75% EDIT “This film about love among the mentally ill is... as artificially sweet as a mouthful of saccharin. Still, it is irresistibly appealing in an old-fashioned, fantasy romance way.” – People Magazine Jun 17, 2020 Full Review Sophie's Choice (1982) 74% EDIT “Streep and Kline, embodying their characters in a way that goes beyond performing, obliterate the excesses on their straight and stirring journey to the heart.” – People Magazine Jun 17, 2020 Full Review Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975) 93% EDIT “Weir makes beautiful and daring movies, but this one is longer on style than substance.” – People Magazine Jun 14, 2020 Full Review Something Wild (1986) 92% EDIT “Buy a ticket to this whirligig of a movie at your own risk. You enter a fun house and exit through a chamber of horrors. But director Jonathan Demme provides a heck of a ride.” – People Magazine Jun 11, 2020 Full Review Reckless (1984) EDIT “First-time director James Foley has made a drooling, teen-sex film dressed up as Rebel Without a Cause.” – People Magazine May 31, 2020 Full Review Chan Is Missing (1982) 96% EDIT “In spite of technical crudities and a sometimes confusing story line, this is a minor triumph.” – People Magazine May 12, 2020 Full Review The River (1984) 27% EDIT “This dull agribomb will soon be forgotten anyway, even if Mel Gibson and Sissy Spacek aren't.” – People Magazine Apr 17, 2020 Full Review Yanks (1979) 57% EDIT “Though some of the photography is stunning and the mood of wartime Europe is warmly rendered, this is not a movie to write home about.” – People Magazine Apr 16, 2020 Full Review Casual Sex? (1988) 31% EDIT “Only the "Vin Man," a beast from the East named Vinny and played as a macho send-up by comic Andrew Dice Clay, lightens up the proceedings.” – People Magazine Apr 15, 2020 Full Review Coal Miner's Daughter (1980) 84% EDIT “Like its subject, the movie celebrates down-hominess but should win over plenty of city folk.” – People Magazine Apr 2, 2020 Full Review
