RoboCop 3 (1993) 20% 2/4 EDIT “There's nothing new to this.” – Tulsa World Mar 16, 2026 Full Review Waiting for Guffman (1996) 91% EDIT “Guest takes on the roles of star, composer, director and screenwriter in this alternately affectionate and acerbic little movie. ” – Tulsa World Mar 10, 2026 Full Review RoboCop (1987) 84% 4/5 EDIT “"RoboCop" carries off its futuristic cops-and-robbers story with many touches of satire and pointed wit, making its graphic violence seem, like the comic-book variety, one step removed from reality.” – Tulsa World Mar 5, 2026 Full Review The Postman (1994) 92% 4/4 EDIT “If at times the film trips too closely to sentimentality, it is saved from softness by its thematic richness... But the movie is blessed with the humane presence of Massimo Troisi.” – Tulsa World Feb 22, 2026 Full Review Chocolat (2000) 63% EDIT “Certainly, it's as alluring and comforting as its title suggests, even as it sugar-coats some rather troubling human behavior... But it boasts seductive notions and such a stellar cast that this might pass unnoticed in its rush of good feelings.” – Tulsa World Feb 17, 2026 Full Review Muppet Treasure Island (1996) 80% 2.5/4 EDIT “All in all, Muppet Treasure Island is rich enough in puppet magic to entertain younger audiences. But adults sitting through this thing might feel like they've been left marooned.” – Tulsa World Feb 12, 2026 Full Review Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000) 96% 4/4 EDIT “A completely enthralling film experience that magically mixes lofty arthouse ambition with pure populist entertainment. ” – Tulsa World Feb 10, 2026 Full Review Erin Brockovich (2000) 87% 3/4 EDIT “[Erin Brockovich] strikes a tone that would do Frank Capra proud. Blending prickly humor with plainspoken sentiment, it's a movie with both a mischievous funny bone and a staunch social conscience. ” – Tulsa World Feb 6, 2026 Full Review North (1994) 12% 1/4 EDIT “Misbegotten and largely misdirected.” – Tulsa World Jan 26, 2026 Full Review The American President (1995) 90% 3/4 EDIT “The late Frank Capra's view of Washington politics is decidedly dated, if not entirely quaint. But in The American President, director Rob Reiner recaptures some of that old wide-eyed romanticism about American decency and democratic spirit.” – Tulsa World Jan 21, 2026 Full Review A Few Good Men (1992) 85% 3.5/4 EDIT “As courtroom dramas go, "A Few Good Men" is top-notch entertainment. It doesn't plow any new territory or set [any] new precedents in the genre, but it gives us a cracking good case, well argued and finely acted.” – Tulsa World Jan 9, 2026 Full Review The Princess Bride (1987) 93% 4/5 EDIT “With The Princess Bride, Reiner has added to his growing reputation as a thoughtful, original filmmaker. This guy hasn't made a bad movie yet. ” – Tulsa World Jan 7, 2026 Full Review Big Top Pee-wee (1988) 30% 2/5 EDIT “The movie's big climax is filmed without any pizzaz. It's a flat finale. ” – Tulsa World Dec 14, 2025 Full Review True Lies (1994) 77% 3/4 EDIT “True Lies isn't a perfectly made movie, but it's certainly an entertaining one. ” – Tulsa World Dec 10, 2025 Full Review Super Mario Bros. (1993) 27% 2/4 EDIT “Those unfamiliar with the intricacies of Nintendo will probably find themselves wishing they could pull the plug on this intoxicating but ultimately droning light show. ” – Tulsa World Dec 9, 2025 Full Review The Abyss (1989) 75% 3/5 EDIT “Cameron is a masterly action director, and his powers in that area compensate for some of the story's weaker, far-fetched elements.” – Tulsa World Dec 9, 2025 Full Review The Running Man (1987) 59% 1/5 EDIT “Unfortunately, while this film is loaded to the pecs with action and violence, it lacks the self-parodying wit and imagination of Schwarzenegger's better action efforts.” – Tulsa World Nov 6, 2025 Full Review The Celluloid Closet (1995) 96% 3/4 EDIT “In the process, it takes a revisionist look at everything from Ben Hur to Hitchcock's Rebecca, and almost anything that Rock Hudson ever made. ” – Tulsa World Oct 8, 2025 Full Review Casper (1995) 59% 2/4 EDIT “The movie's special effects are impressive, but in the end the picture seems oddly lacking in spirit. It seems the filmmakers were so concerned with bits and bytes that they forgot to invest their movie with some much-needed heart and soul.” – Tulsa World Oct 2, 2025 Full Review To Sleep With Anger (1990) 93% 3/5 EDIT “Glover is an actor of enormous power and charm, and it's his reading of Harry that gives this story its many layers of truth and deception.” – Tulsa World Sep 25, 2025 Full Review Boogie Nights (1997) 91% 4/4 EDIT “Anderson's work is raw and often self-indulgent... But those are minor quibbles with a film that is as audacious, ambitious, original, inventive and downright jazzed as this one is.” – Tulsa World Sep 24, 2025 Full Review Toy Story (1995) 100% EDIT “The result is a clash of toy cultures and values -- nostalgic, old-fashioned simplicity versus visionary, space-age ingenuity. ” – Tulsa World Sep 10, 2025 Full Review Requiem for a Dream (2000) 80% 3.5/4 EDIT “"Requiem for a Dream" is a brave work, and one that demands a brave audience...it's a film that makes us look at a plague of modern life with new eyes...” – Tulsa World Aug 23, 2025 Full Review Mortal Kombat (1995) 43% 2/4 EDIT “For folks who expect their movies to actually contain sympathetic characters and telling engaging stories, this movie's like plugging quarters into a washing machine.” – Tulsa World Aug 20, 2025 Full Review Waterworld (1995) 60% 3/4 EDIT “For summer moviegoers, the movie is a rousing cruise that's well worth the relatively modest price of admission. ” – Tulsa World Jul 28, 2025 Full Review
