Review of The House of the Spirits (1993)

By Jay Boyar (463) for Orlando Sentinel (1,594) on 19 May 2013

The House of the Spirits is like Gone With the Wind with the fun and excitement replaced by lofty. All that's left is the wind…

Review of The Crucible (1996)

By Jay Boyar (463) for Orlando Sentinel (1,594) on 16 May 2013

Review of Schindler's List (1993)

By Jay Boyar (463) for Orlando Sentinel (1,594) on 05 May 2013

What the visual immediacy of Schindler's List does is to prod each of us to fill in the gaps of emotion for ourselves…

Review of Groundhog Day (1993)

By Jay Boyar (463) for Orlando Sentinel (1,594) on 05 May 2013

A movie that continually replays a single day could quickly become tedious but, strangely enough, Groundhog Day never does…

Review of Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me (1992)

By Jay Boyar (463) for Orlando Sentinel (1,594) on 02 May 2013

Fire Walk with Me isn’t what many wanted it to be, it’s easy to accept the film for what it is: a bracing look at incest and rape…

Review of The Wild Bunch (1969)

By Jay Boyar (463) for Orlando Sentinel (1,594) on 28 Apr 2013

It is certainly one of the best westerns ever made, and the best film of any kind to come out in 1969…

Review of Ran (1985)

By Jay Boyar (463) for Orlando Sentinel (1,594) on 31 Mar 2013

Quite simply, Ran is a great, nightmarish motion picture…

Review of Bull Durham (1988)

By Jay Boyar (463) for Orlando Sentinel (1,594) on 20 Mar 2013

Ron Shelton, who wrote and directed the film, displays a knowledge of and affection for the national pastime…

Review of Darkman (1990)

By Jay Boyar (463) for Orlando Sentinel (1,594) on 03 Mar 2013

Darkman sustains mild interest throughout, but it never takes off, partly because a real-estate scam, gangland shootouts, city corruption and…

Review of Back to the Future Part II (1989)

By Jay Boyar (463) for Orlando Sentinel (1,594) on 13 Feb 2013

The most important point is that the new film is fun…

Review of Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)

By Jay Boyar (463) for Orlando Sentinel (1,594) on 07 Feb 2013

The action in Terminator 2 is edited for maximum suspense, and much of it is mounted on such a grand scale that little in movie history comes…

Review of Permanent Midnight (1998)

By Jay Boyar (463) for Orlando Sentinel (1,594) on 04 Feb 2013

Ben Stiller seems the perfect actor to play Hollywood writer- turned-junkie Jerry Stahl in Permanent Midnight…

Review of Mistress (1992)

By Jay Boyar (463) for Orlando Sentinel (1,594) on 26 Oct 2012

The movie lacks the cleanedged economy of the screenplay for The Player, and it could have benefitted from less talkiness and fewer characters,…

Review of Caddyshack II (1988)

By Jay Boyar (463) for Orlando Sentinel (1,594) on 04 Jun 2012

This PG-rated romp is bland bananas compared to its R-rated predecessor…

Review of Mission: Impossible II (2000)

By Jay Boyar (463) for Orlando Sentinel (1,594) on 19 May 2012

Review of Spirited Away (2001)

By Jay Boyar (463) for Orlando Sentinel (1,594) on 30 Apr 2012

Visually imaginative, thematically instructive and thoroughly delightful, it takes us on a roller-coaster ride from innocence to experience…

Review of Quest for Camelot (1998)

By Jay Boyar (463) for Orlando Sentinel (1,594) on 19 Apr 2012

The animation has little depth of field (galloping horses hover inches above the ground), the colours are watery, and there's not much Englishness…

Review of Romper Stomper (1992)

By Jay Boyar (463) for Orlando Sentinel (1,594) on 30 Mar 2012

While enticing you to hate the gang and take delight in everything bad that happens to its members, the film also gives you the vicarious thrill…

Review of My Fellow Americans (1996)

By Jay Boyar (463) for Orlando Sentinel (1,594) on 20 Mar 2012
