The Howling (1981) 76% EDIT “There's nothing halfway about The Howling -- which is probably its undoing.” – Ottawa Citizen Mar 18, 2026 Full Review RoboCop 2 (1990) 31% 2/5 EDIT “Statements are out; firepower is in.” – Ottawa Citizen Mar 10, 2026 Full Review RoboCop (1987) 84% EDIT “Robocop would be easier to like if it didn't take violent death -- we're talking cannon shells through bodies here -- so lightly.” – Ottawa Citizen Mar 5, 2026 Full Review Pretty in Pink (1986) 75% EDIT “Ar least it's closer to life than most movies for this audience gets to. ” – Ottawa Citizen Feb 14, 2026 Full Review Misery (1990) 86% 3.5/5 EDIT “Reiner builds a devastating momentum.” – Ottawa Citizen Jan 22, 2026 Full Review Stand by Me (1986) 88% EDIT “It is a rare and charming film.” – Ottawa Citizen Jan 13, 2026 Full Review A Few Good Men (1992) 85% 4.5/5 EDIT “It's a movie with so much moral force that it could almost direct itself, if [Rob] Reiner hadn't done it so methodically. ” – Ottawa Citizen Jan 8, 2026 Full Review The Sure Thing (1985) 84% EDIT “Reiner packages the whole trip neatly to include oddball encounters with roadside flotsam, and spices it with the mellowing relationship of the two youngsters. ” – Ottawa Citizen Jan 8, 2026 Full Review Death Race 2000 (1975) 80% EDIT “Death Race has the look of a low-cost film with none of the responsibilities of moviemakers who get all indignant about hypothetical horrors of the next century.” – Ottawa Citizen Dec 22, 2025 Full Review Hook (1991) 37% 3/5 EDIT “It's the ultimate Spielberg, a technical triumph, and that will see it through the Christmas parade. ” – Ottawa Citizen Dec 19, 2025 Full Review Christine (1983) 72% 3.5/5 EDIT “Super 1950s rock score and some suggestive automobile imagery add up to slick entertainment.” – Ottawa Citizen Dec 17, 2025 Full Review Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) 91% 3/5 EDIT “For sheer, stupefying, screen-filling destructive size, Terminator 2 is the ultimate weapon. Movies won't (can't?) come any bigger, louder or expend so much technical sweat as this - and all over a couple of cyborgs trying to terminate each other.” – Ottawa Citizen Dec 9, 2025 Full Review The Terminator (1984) 90% EDIT “There's no real suspense to The Terminator, just one long bloody, pointless and rather boring massacre.” – Ottawa Citizen Dec 8, 2025 Full Review Peeper (1975) 29% EDIT “This one sets out to be a brain twister... but it contorts itself out of existence.” – Ottawa Citizen Nov 22, 2025 Full Review The Wiz (1978) 38% EDIT “It's all packaged spectacularly by Sidney Lumet.” – Ottawa Citizen Nov 17, 2025 Full Review The Running Man (1987) 59% EDIT “Since Arnie never loses there's not much tension and there's an awful lot of mutilation. ” – Ottawa Citizen Nov 6, 2025 Full Review Predator 2 (1990) 36% 1/5 EDIT “Street fights, chases and all-round carnage make sleazy flick.” – Ottawa Citizen Oct 31, 2025 Full Review Dracula (1979) 63% EDIT “It's a handsome production which hardly seems worth all the creative effort and costly attention lavish on it.” – Ottawa Citizen Oct 22, 2025 Full Review Desert Hearts (1985) 77% EDIT “The seeker of cinematic truth will applaud its boldness and the honesty of Deitch's treatment. ” – Ottawa Citizen Oct 12, 2025 Full Review My Beautiful Laundrette (1985) 95% EDIT “Prepare to be amused, moved, outraged -- and occasionally shocked. ” – Ottawa Citizen Oct 10, 2025 Full Review Farewell, My Lovely (1975) 76% EDIT “It all adds up to a calculated recollection and a modestly exciting entertainment, enough to offer a tantalizing taste of Chandler but not the full-bodied flavor.” – Ottawa Citizen Oct 8, 2025 Full Review Hard Times (1975) 72% EDIT “There is a curious combination here of good intention and superficiality which lands Hard Times somewhere between raw adventure and near-realism -- but satisfying the demands of neither.” – Ottawa Citizen Sep 26, 2025 Full Review To Sleep With Anger (1990) 93% 4/5 EDIT “Burnett, who is making his feature film debut is a film-maker under control. Nothing gets away from him.” – Ottawa Citizen Sep 25, 2025 Full Review This Is Spinal Tap (1984) 98% EDIT “The fine line between parodied nonsense and phoney reality has always been a bit thin in the pop business; Reiner makes it a hair's breadth.” – Ottawa Citizen Sep 9, 2025 Full Review Cooley High (1975) 83% EDIT “It is tuned into the youth market but more as a rather frantic diversion, than as an honest reflection of life in a harsher world.” – Ottawa Citizen Aug 15, 2025 Full Review
