Yucatán (2018)
Like the limitless buffet and late show with dancing girls, it's a simple pleasure.

Searching for Bobby Fischer (1993)
A rare family film that's not afraid to inject conflict and complexity into its images of domestic happiness.

Rope (1948)
Although the story of this verbose film is intriguing, it's not top-drawer Hitchcock.

A movie so categorically awful that I actually recommend you watch it, if only so someone could confirm that I didn't hallucinate this thing.

The Bed Sitting Room (1969)
A field day for funny collection of Brits.

Friday the 13th Part 2 (1981)
Somehow, this one's even worse than the first.

Velvet Buzzsaw (2019)
This is a movie for people who get the joke.

High Flying Bird (2019)
This is a notable curiosity of a film; it is not a slam dunk.

The Optimists (1973)
An underrated film with an excellent performance by Sellers.

3/5
This plotless film ambles nicely from situation to situation because of Girardot's marvelous performance.

The Naked Ape (1973)
This boring semidocumentary traces man's evolution from prehistory to the present day.

Pieces of Dreams (1970)
A bit dull and maudlin.

2.5/5
Blue in the Face (1995)
It feels less like a movie than a lost episode of the old Steve Allen or Jack Paar late-night chat shows.

2.5/5
Strange Days (1995)
Strange Days hurtles down the track for two hours, frantically trying to warn us en route to the Big Switchback, only to pull up in a hiss of smoke and hot air.

Showgirls (1995)
Showgirls is a positively detumescent experience.

2.5/5
Dead Presidents (1995)
Judging by Dead Presidents and his previous film, The Inkwell, the only thing standing between 20-year-old Tate and mainstream stardom is a decent script.

Baby Boom (1987)
While the script is often trite, Keaton turns in her best comic performance since MANHATTAN.

The Cutting Edge (1992)
It's as though today's moviemakers have lost faith in romance, pure and simple, as a subject.

2/4
Green Card (1990)
Peter Weir's talent, so evident in his Australian work, remained dormant here, but Depardieu's lively performance is a redeeming factor.

The Matchmaker (1997)
It's all very well-intentioned, but Garofalo mostly looks pained and uncomfortable as various touristy Irish village stereotypes unfold around her.

Only You (1994)
[D]espite the lovely Italian locales and a relatively appealing cast, the film is far too cloying for all but the most sentimental tastes.

Benefiting from some fine special effects, this fast-moving comedy ought to please any family.

Pinocchio in Outer Space (1965)
This is well animated, but nowhere near the quality of Disney.

Hard Times (1975)
HARD TIMES is still an enjoyable film, and the depression-era settings are painstakingly captured.

The Music Lovers (1971)
Don't bother seeing this; just buy a few albums of music by Tchaikovsky and let it go at that.

Fyre (2019)
It's a defining true crime story for the Internet age.

Images (1972)

3/4
The Boy Friend (1971)
THE BOY FRIEND is a sincere celebration of the musical from a camp point of view. And let it be said Russell discovered Tommy Tune many years before Broadway did.

4/5
Blackmail (1929)
Blackmail still plays well, and is a suitable precursor to the master director's later work.

2.5/5
The First Wives Club (1996)
Sisters are doing it for themselves. But what they're doing is obsessing about men, which greatly undermines this purported comedy of female empowerment.

3/5
A New Leaf (1971)
In some ways a throwback to the screwball comedies of the 1930s, A NEW LEAF often recalls several of them in its satire, inventiveness and wit.

The Object of My Affection (1998)
You come away with a remarkable sense of the filmmakers and actors working together harmoniously as they delve into the heart of relationships between friends and lovers.

Maniac (1980)
The sleazy embodiment of everything that was wrong with the ultraviolent slasher movies of the early 1980s.

1/5
Zombi 2 (1980)
Fulci's work has its champions, but his films are mostly dim-witted and hold little interest for anyone other than hard-core gore fans.

Dracula's Daughter (1936)
Unsatisfying sequel to Dracula.

Event Horizon (1997)
The film is content to relentlessly scream "Boo!" behind the audience's back rather than provide any real thrills

The Frisco Kid (1979)
A weakly scripted, largely unfunny comedy-western intermittently helped by Gene Wilder's then-considerable charm.

The Last Dragon (1985)
An enjoyable pastiche of martial arts, romance, music, and video.

Willow (1988)
The plot grinds on inescapably to its predictable climax, with the viewer fully aware of what awaits long before the events unfold.
