Film Critic

Stop Making Sense (1984)

Publish Date: January 1, 2018
"It's a treat for fans, and a chance for the uninitiated to tune in to the band that has come to personify postmodernist rock 'n' roll"

The Washington Post
My Sweet Little Village (1985)

Publish Date: February 5, 1987
"If 'My Sweet Little Village' has its moments, you keep wishing that the film were about something more than how wonderful bucolic life is"

The Washington Post
Radio Days (1987)

Publish Date: January 29, 1987
"You peel and peel away at it only to find, in the end, nothing."

The Washington Post
Platoon (1986)

Publish Date: January 15, 1987
"'Platoon' is a triumph for Oliver Stone, a film in which a visceral approach to violence (...) is balanced by classical symmetries and a kind of elegiac distance."

The Washington Post
The Bedroom Window (1987)

Publish Date: January 15, 1987
"Another tiresome pastiche of old Hitchcock films, particularly 'Rear Window' and 'The Man Who Knew Too Much.' We've seen it before, done (needless to say) better."

The Washington Post
The Decline of the American Empire (1986)

Publish Date: December 24, 1986
"From the opening shot (...) you know that you are in the presence of true film ineptitude, which only deepens as 'The Decline of the American Empire' continues."

The Washington Post
Little Shop of Horrors (1986)

Publish Date: December 18, 1986
"The pleasures of "Little Shop" carry you past its dull stretches -- you enjoy its quick-witted wordplay, inventive sketch comedy and the Broadway- and Motown-influenced music"

The Washington Post
The Golden Child (1986)

Publish Date: December 11, 1986
"Ritchie has taken Dennis Feldman's script and turned what might have been a lovely fantasy into a half-baked comedy without a heart."

The Washington Post
Heartbreak Ridge (1986)

Publish Date: December 4, 1986
"At the end, you can't decide whether Eastwood and his platoon should get medals or merit badges."

The Washington Post
High and Low (1963)

Publish Date: November 6, 1986
"High and Low illuminates its world with a wholeness and complexity you rarely see in film"

The Washington Post
Something Wild (1986)

Publish Date: November 6, 1986
"There may be no greater test of a filmmaker's talent than whether he can inject his own personality into a routine commercial script, and in that regard, Jonathan Demme's 'Something Wild' is a triumph"

The Washington Post
Deadly Friend (1986)

Publish Date: October 10, 1986
"[The director] is content with the rigid cliche's of a revenge plot (...) And that makes 'Deadly Friend' a movie whose ho is exceeded only by its hum."

The Washington Post
Blue Velvet (1986)

Publish Date: September 18, 1986
"An extraordinary journey into the mind of David Lynch, but that's all it is (...) Lynch has the mind of a Fellini, but his imagination outruns his skill."

The Washington Post
Manhunter (1986)

Publish Date: August 14, 1986
"A gory and gorgeous cop thriller"

The Washington Post
Cobra (1986)

Publish Date: May 23, 1986
"[It] is such a textbook example of an exploitation cop movie that you can outline it like a schoolboy for easy reference."

The Washington Post
A Room With a View (1985)

Publish Date: April 4, 1986
"The movie is masterfully designed (...) and shot in soft, natural light (by Tony Pierce-Roberts) -- it's a bath for the eye, an antique collector's dream."

The Washington Post
Lucas (1986)

Publish Date: March 28, 1986
"[It] is about as likable as this kind of movie ever gets. At the heart of 'Lucas' is an interesting idea -- a Woody Allen movie for kids, with a bespectacled, nerdy hero -- that never gets developed."

The Washington Post
Highlander (1986)

Publish Date: March 18, 1986
"[The script] is profoundly derivative, poorly structured and jokey in a dull way"

The Washington Post
The Jewel of the Nile (1985)

Publish Date: December 10, 1985
"Though overproduced and uninvolving, 'Jewel' is also a smartly written and playfully directed crowd pleaser"

The Washington Post
Young Sherlock Holmes (1985)

Publish Date: December 3, 1985
"A perfectly agreeable family entertainment"
