Bill Cosford

"Like most Norris vehicles, The Delta Force is long on spurious action and short on production values. It's also silly"

"Certainly, Lassiter is painless and periodically amusing. And it's so much bigger than TV"

"It's a handsome period piece and a decent character drama, and it has that Newman performance"

"Pointless and vile, The Last Boy Scout is a perfect example of what's wrong with Hollywood.  

"'Falling in Love' isn't consistently dull; it's funny in spots (...) But the shift from not meeting to meeting does not generate much drama."

"'Cujo' is one of those nightmares that does not require even the suspension of disbelief. Anyone who can accept that there are dogs, people and cars that don't work can be scared silly by this movie"

"A thoroughly wholesome, if not particularly entertaining, experience"

"'Secret Admirer' is somewhat more clever and a great deal sweeter than the standard for its damp genre"

"Given the talent involved -- Bigelow, Curtis, Red -- you figure Blue Steel will break out, show something new. Never happens. It's just a tough little thriller with a long string of plot holes"

"'Jennifer 8' is handsome, dark and menacing (...) Thought to be, but it's also clean out of control"

"Norris' appeal is so quiet and uncomplicated that, although the film exploits the issue of MIAs as thoroughly as any movie has to date, Missing in Action is never offensive"

"Scott's work is always fascinating to watch, (...) And Douglas now has something heroic about him that enhances, if it doesn't quite transcend, the plot-by- numbers"

"The director, Zalman King, not only has seen entirely too many in the goofy Emmanuelle series, he appears not to know just how stupid those movies are and so has made little more than a knock-off of them."

"Witless and dull, Penelope Spheeris' feature-length hillbilly saga is the product of no less than four screenwriters. It's scary to think what it might have been like had it been written by only one or two of them"

"A painfully inept comedy that tries so very very hard to be goofy and off-the-wall that you wind up feeling sorry for the participants."  

"The Clan of the Cave Bear acts as a parody of the earlier, more accomplished Quest for Fire, but since even that film was funny despite itself, this is not much of an accomplishment"

"Ironweed is the love story of two bums, the swan song of a haunted man, a character study of abiding humanity. It's a sad movie. Beautiful, too"

"The only problem with the movie is that it really has little to say beyond the acknowledgement of young love"

"For all its flaws, Bob Roberts is a singular achievement, a political film in a time when moviegoers want anything but. It's a bold move. Vote Tim"

"It's a dreadful bore."
