Review of Reality Bites (1994)

By Jay Boyar (463) for Orlando Sentinel (1,594) on 07 Aug 2017

Review of The Little Mermaid (1989)

By Jay Boyar (463) for Orlando Sentinel (1,594) on 30 Jun 2017

Review of The Lawnmower Man (1992)

By Jay Boyar (463) for Orlando Sentinel (1,594) on 09 Jun 2017

Review of The Naked Gun 2½: The Smell of Fear (1991)

By Jay Boyar (463) for Orlando Sentinel (1,594) on 08 Jun 2017

The only thing about The Naked Gun that won't make you laugh is the film itself...To mix a metaphor in appropriate style, the filmmakers have…

Review of A View to a Kill (1985)

By Jay Boyar (463) for Orlando Sentinel (1,594) on 09 Mar 2017

Hard as it is to justify Bond films on intellectual grounds, there's something invigorating -- and strangely reassuring -- about this sort…

Review of Pelle the Conqueror (1987)

By Jay Boyar (463) for Orlando Sentinel (1,594) on 27 Feb 2017

Written and directed by Bille August, Pelle the Conqueror is peopled with the sort of vivid minor characters that lodge in your consciousness…

Paul Newman could win an Oscar for his strong, complex performance in The Color of Money…

Review of Aladdin (1992)

By Jay Boyar (463) for Orlando Sentinel (1,594) on 25 Jan 2017

For the first time on the big screen, Williams' whirligig wit is totally unencumbered - and it isn't just free, it's supercharged by animation…

Review of Daughters of the Dust (1991)

By Jay Boyar (463) for Orlando Sentinel (1,594) on 01 Dec 2016

Even when the pace slows to a crawl, the island's gentle mood is appealing…

Review of Beauty and the Beast (1991)

By Jay Boyar (463) for Orlando Sentinel (1,594) on 22 Nov 2016

Review of Antonia's Line (1995)

By Jay Boyar (463) for Orlando Sentinel (1,594) on 03 Oct 2016

The performances are modest and appealing. In the title role, Van Ammelrooy projects a remarkable combination of optimism, strength and resignation…

Review of Howards End (1992)

By Jay Boyar (463) for Orlando Sentinel (1,594) on 23 Aug 2016

Review of Sid and Nancy (1986)

By Jay Boyar (463) for Orlando Sentinel (1,594) on 08 Aug 2016

All things considered, I would rather play Twister…

Review of Mighty Joe Young (1998)

By Jay Boyar (463) for Orlando Sentinel (1,594) on 18 Jul 2016

This rather basic story is really just a place to hang the action scenes, which should have been the movie's glory…

Review of Spawn (1997)

By Jay Boyar (463) for Orlando Sentinel (1,594) on 05 May 2016

This barely coherent hunk of junk is like a cheap horror film with only a suggestion of the grisliness that appeals to fans of cheap horror films…
