Braveheart (1995) 74% EDIT “The film talks the stirring talk, but it can't quite walk the walk. Gibson's direction is passable, but critically absent is the panache which sweeps us up and off wherever he wants to take us.” – Houston Chronicle Feb 27, 2026 Full Review The Postman (1994) 92% EDIT “Director Michael Radford seems to have taken the languid pace of the film from Troisi's reading of Mario. The performance is basically Buster Keaton deadpan, which makes Mario's occasional smile all the more celebratory.” – Houston Chronicle Feb 23, 2026 Full Review THX 1138 (1971) 72% EDIT “Lucas' film is totally fascinating, full of monastic detail and an utterly total sense of atmosphere.” – Houston Chronicle Feb 20, 2026 Full Review Pretty in Pink (1986) 75% EDIT “The film is flush with some perfectly lovely performances. ” – Houston Chronicle Feb 14, 2026 Full Review Muppet Treasure Island (1996) 80% EDIT “The fact that it has a weak beginning is somewhat worrisome when we consider that this is G-rated entertainment that's supposed to appeal to youngsters and adults alike. But stick with it, and you will be rewarded.” – Houston Chronicle Feb 12, 2026 Full Review Vanishing Point (1971) 65% EDIT “The whole movie quickly goes down the drain.” – Houston Chronicle Feb 5, 2026 Full Review Arabesque (1966) 78% EDIT “Miss Loren was excellent. Peck did well enough with a role that cried, moaned, begged for Cary Grant.” – Houston Chronicle Feb 4, 2026 Full Review House (1985) 49% EDIT “Miner doesn't make quite make it to outrageous, but he is frequently successful at drollery.” – Houston Chronicle Jan 30, 2026 Full Review North (1994) 12% EDIT “Just about everything goes thud.” – Houston Chronicle Jan 24, 2026 Full Review The American President (1995) 90% EDIT “Deconstruct the screenplay, and the fact is, you won't find much documentation why Shepherd and Sydney should fall in love. The solution is as old as Hollywood itself: Hire genuine movie stars, and their personas will supply any missing mud and straw. ” – Houston Chronicle Jan 22, 2026 Full Review Misery (1990) 86% EDIT “This is suspense film in which writer and director go for grotesquerie and laughs with equal vigor and regular success.” – Houston Chronicle Jan 22, 2026 Full Review Bite the Bullet (1975) 69% EDIT “The scenery is gorgeous and the acting isn't bad. But the actors are trapped in Brooks' cliche characterizations.” – Houston Chronicle Jan 15, 2026 Full Review Stand by Me (1986) 88% EDIT “The film is sweet and certainly heartfelt.” – Houston Chronicle Jan 13, 2026 Full Review The Princess Bride (1987) 93% EDIT “You don't need me to tell you that for an enterprise like this, touch is everything. Director Rob Reiner has it. He doesn't have a death grip on this, but he knows what he wants, knows how to get it, and what wants is right for the property.” – Houston Chronicle Jan 7, 2026 Full Review A Few Good Men (1992) 85% EDIT “Sorkin has written some fine dialogue that the actors deliver with great spirit and panache.” – Houston Chronicle Jan 7, 2026 Full Review When Harry Met Sally... (1989) 90% EDIT “When Harry Met Sally plays like a very personal film because it is. ” – Houston Chronicle Jan 6, 2026 Full Review Death Race 2000 (1975) 80% EDIT “The film has a satiric context which, if not exactly executed with terrific skill, is at least deserving of a few points for effort.” – Houston Chronicle Dec 22, 2025 Full Review Hook (1991) 37% EDIT “It's got everything but a heart. It's got emotion, sure. It entertains, but it isn't moving, and Spielberg wants very badly to move us. ” – Houston Chronicle Dec 19, 2025 Full Review Christine (1983) 72% EDIT “The film is well-made, but it just isn't scary.” – Houston Chronicle Dec 17, 2025 Full Review The Abyss (1989) 75% EDIT “This film contains some of the most puckering depictions of human beings in peril of their lives that I can remember.” – Houston Chronicle Dec 10, 2025 Full Review True Lies (1994) 77% EDIT “It's hard to make something this ordnance-intensive feel sly, and that's Cameron's principal achievement.” – Houston Chronicle Dec 10, 2025 Full Review Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) 91% EDIT “If you liked the first Terminator, you'll delight in this. It's twice as good as it had to be.” – Houston Chronicle Dec 8, 2025 Full Review Peeper (1975) 29% EDIT “The movie just doesn't work.” – Houston Chronicle Nov 21, 2025 Full Review The Wiz (1978) 38% EDIT “It bounces right along on the strengths of [Tony] Walton's imagination, Sidney Lumet's energetic direction and the simple fact that its premise is so terrific an idea for an entertainment that freshness keeps periodically regenerating itself.” – Houston Chronicle Nov 17, 2025 Full Review The Running Man (1987) 59% EDIT “Arnie's in on the jokes, and Dawson is terrific.” – Houston Chronicle Nov 6, 2025 Full Review
