What are QuickRatings? Approved Tomatometer critics rate and provide brief quotes to movies seldomly reviewed in our database - mainly older films and obscure limited releases. Full-length reviews are not necessary, and thus, will not be available. QuickRatings are counted towards The Tomatometer.

Bland, rote and not at all ooky enough.

One of those "why the?!?!" sequels.

Vintage Seagal. Although that's not much of a compliment.

A near-great Western, weakened only by overt revisionism.
Posted Jul 21, 2004
 
Unforgiven (1992)96%
/
2/5
 
A tough, dated sit-thru. At least much of the music still sings.
Posted Jul 21, 2004
 
West Side Story (1961)94%
/
2/5
 
Way ovverated mishmash of an old-school chick flick.
Posted Dec 24, 2003

Father of the Bride Part II (1995)44%
/
4/4
 
No other film better captures the true spirit of the game of baseball as does Field of Dreams, a true tear-jerking spectacle of perfection.
Posted Jul 9, 2003
 
Field of Dreams (1989)91%
/
2/5
 
Too slow and stodgy when it should be creepy.
Posted Apr 30, 2003

Casino (1995)83%
/
3/5
 
An overblown fantasy.
Posted Dec 24, 2002
 
Merlin (1998)80%

A near-forgotten classic. I saw this as a child and will never forget this fantastic film.

A Few Good Men (1992)86%
/

Forgettable in every way. The kids-in-big-leagues theme is thankfully dead for now.
Posted Dec 24, 2002
 
Little Big League (1994)29%
/
4/5
 
Mind-bending psychodrama.
Posted Dec 24, 2002

4/5
 
Spectacular, but overrated in the scheme of great animated films.
Posted Dec 24, 2002
 
The Lion King (1994)92%

4/5
 
A transcendent comedy starring one of the top - but most tragically fated - comedy teams of all time.
Posted Dec 24, 2002
 
Black Sheep (1996)29%
/
3/5
 
Manages to approach significant social issues, but falters in its melodrama.

White Man's Burden (1995)26%
/
3/5
 
Run-of-the-mill Seagal. Could be better, could be worse.

Under Siege 2: Dark Territory (1995)30%
/
2/5
 
Mediocre in every way. Memorable only because of whimsical camp value.

Satire at its finest. Uproarious and endlessly creative.
Posted Dec 24, 2002

The Net (1995)30%
/
4/5
 
Sayles serves as a historian in this deft sports drama. One for the ages.

3/5
 
A solid, action-packed road trip, with heartened performances.
Posted Aug 9, 2002
 
The Journey of Natty Gann (1985)88%
/
2/5
 
Sappy and derivative. A sequel that never should have been made.
Posted Aug 9, 2002
 
My Girl 2 (1994)15%
/
3/5
 
Nowhere near as good as its reputation. A cheesy mess, supported only by its nostalgia.
Posted Aug 9, 2002
 
Dirty Dancing (1987)67%
/
2/5
 
A stupid, bumbling misfire, which wastes a solid cast.
Posted Aug 9, 2002
 
The Three Musketeers (1993)30%
/
4/5
 
One of the hallmark films of the 1980s, full of whimsical charm.
Posted Aug 9, 2002
 
The Boy Who Could Fly (1986)69%
/
5/5
 
Fist-pumping, heart-jumping, chest-thumping fun.
Posted Aug 2, 2002
 
Rocky IV (1985)44%
/
3/5
 
A serviceable adaptation, but nowhere near as whimsical as the animated version.
Posted Aug 2, 2002
 
The Jungle Book (1994)94%

Very frightening. An inspired remake.
Posted Aug 2, 2002
 
Cape Fear (1991)76%

3/5
 
Dolly Parton's supporting role as a secretary is the most memorable aspect.
Posted Aug 2, 2002
 
9 to 5 (1980)88%
/
4/5
 
The trey runs together with the other films in the series, but that's a compliment, not an indictment, because every one is gripping.
Posted Aug 2, 2002
 
Lethal Weapon 3 (1992)62%
/
3/5
 
An entertaining guilty pleasure.
Posted Aug 2, 2002
 
Earth Girls are Easy (1989)55%

4/5
 
Eye-gougingly scary. If you don't want nightmares, don't watch this film.
Posted Aug 2, 2002
 
The Amityville Curse (1990)20%
/
5/5
 
Unfairly bashed. The true spirit of shirking society and catching a wave is captured here.
Posted Aug 2, 2002
 
Point Break (1991)68%
/
5/5
 
One of the great war-is-folly epics.
Posted Aug 2, 2002
 
All Quiet on the Western Front (1930)97%
/
4/5
 
Quite the entertainer. It's a little scary, but not too frightening for children.
Posted Aug 2, 2002
 
The Witches (1990)100%
/
3/5
 
It didn't live up to the hype, but most anyone whose seen it has walked away at least a little more afraid of spiders.
Posted Aug 2, 2002
 
Arachnophobia (1990)84%
