Jurassic Park
Could there possibly be any problems with creating an amusement park full of gigantic cloned predators with razor-sharp teeth as long as your leg? Uh … let us think about that for, oh, about 20 years.
The Breakfast Club
Teenage alienation? Check. Angst? Check. Ennui? (Even though we didn’t even really know what that was in 1985?) Check.
Ghostbusters
Who ya gonna call? Why Plugged In, of course, to get the skinny on a big fat classic comedy from 1984, now being re-released 30 year later.
Top Gun
Top Gun is an adrenaline-pumping ode to outsized masculinity. But you might not remember what else it is …
Back in Action
‘Back in Action’ is an action comedy with a surprisingly sweet pro-family message … but a fair number of content issues as well.
Nosferatu
The vampire in Nosferatu really loves the dark. And this spiritual, sensual and very bloody movie wallows in it.
The Damned
It’s a horror movie with something to say. But how it says it will cast ‘The Damned’ right off many a moviegoer’s watch list.
Unstoppable
‘Unstoppable’ tells an inspiring, though profanity-laced, real-life story about a one-legged wrestler’s dream of being a champion.
Kraven the Hunter
Stuffed with violence, gore, harsh language and vague mysticism, ‘Kraven the Hunter’ strays far outside family-friendly territory.
Saw
‘Saw’ touts torture as a “treat”—something that should automatically send most morally minded moviegoers running for the exits.
