	Top Gun (1986)	John Kiely	It's a hit when it aims at the gut, a miss when it aims any higher. Posted May 07, 2026 Edit critic review
	The Bad News Bears Go to Japan (1978)	John Kiely	The third Bears' epic is utterly lacking in any saving grace and should, if there is any justice in the world, put an an end to this questionable series. Posted Apr 27, 2026 Edit critic review
	Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986)	John Kiely	This is a film that can afford little diversions. This is a film with laughter to give away. Posted Apr 22, 2026 Edit critic review
	The Bad News Bears in Breaking Training (1977)	Liane Heller	You want to urge them on; you want them to win. You believe in them. And that's the mark of a good movie. Posted Apr 15, 2026 Edit critic review
	Stephen King's It (1990)	Bonnie Malleck	The name stars are collectively effective but credit must also be given to the most capable group of young actors playing the seven as children. Posted Apr 15, 2026 Edit critic review
	Christine (1983)	John Kiely	Christine never quite has the energy to match the kind of automobile horror stories we can all tell from real-life events. Posted Apr 15, 2026 Edit critic review
	Victor/Victoria (1982)	John Kiely	There is a great deal about Victor/Victoria that is questionable, but the film as a whole is quite charming even when it takes time out to score a few points on sexual identity. Posted Apr 08, 2026 Edit critic review
	Stand by Me (1986)	John Kiely	Stand By Me deserves full marks for what it accomplishes and for not attempting to push itself beyond its limits. Posted Apr 07, 2026 Edit critic review
	RoboCop (1987)	John Kiely	Verhoeven directs with a faultless eye for images. Posted Apr 06, 2026 Edit critic review
	Vanishing Point (1971)	Walter Hordichuk	Vanishing Point is not just another hot rod opera. Posted Apr 06, 2026 Edit critic review
