Review of Lady in White (1988)

By Jay Boyar (463) for Orlando Sentinel (1,594) on 23 May 1999

The film's flaws are at least as obvious as its strengths…

Review of The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996)

By Jay Boyar (463) for Orlando Sentinel (1,594) on 21 May 1999

A whirling, uplifting, thrilling story with a heart-touching message that emerges from the comedy and song…

Review of Slam (1998)

By Jay Boyar (463) for Orlando Sentinel (1,594) on 19 Feb 1999

Despite the occasional uneven patch, the emotional punch of Slam leaves you wrung out as the credits unexpectedly start to roll…

Review of Mo' Better Blues (1990)

By Jay Boyar (463) for Orlando Sentinel (1,594) on 04 Jan 1999

Mo' Better Blues is not a great film, but it's an interesting one, which is almost as rare…

Review of Nothing But Trouble (1991)

By Jay Boyar (463) for Orlando Sentinel (1,594) on 02 Jan 1999

Throughout the movie, there are occasional joke lines, most of which are pretty lame but at least they establish that this is all intended…

Review of One False Move (1992)

By Jay Boyar (463) for Orlando Sentinel (1,594) on 02 Jan 1999

Director Carl Franklin takes a simple premise and treats it so straightforwardly that the result is jarring - at times, even powerful…

Review of I.Q. (1994)

By Jay Boyar (463) for Orlando Sentinel (1,594) on 25 Oct 1998

The nice thing about I.Q. is that its intelligence doesn't stop at the title…

Review of Fresh (1994)

By Jay Boyar (463) for Orlando Sentinel (1,594) on 15 Sep 1998

Fresh is easily one of the best of the new ''hood flicks'' because it doesn't neglect the basics…

Review of Big Top Pee-wee (1988)

By Jay Boyar (463) for Orlando Sentinel (1,594) on 12 Jun 1998

The earlier film (and much of the television program) worked for adults by creating a youngster's fantasy world with an eerie fidelity…

Review of The Addams Family (1991)

By Jay Boyar (463) for Orlando Sentinel (1,594) on 22 May 1998

Towards the end of the ride you are ready to get off…

Review of Nell (1994)

By Jay Boyar (463) for Orlando Sentinel (1,594) on 01 Apr 1998

This metaphor-movie is both touching and tasteful…

Review of Jingle All the Way (1996)

By Jay Boyar (463) for Orlando Sentinel (1,594) on 05 Mar 1998

Perhaps a die-hard Freudian desperate for a laugh could find humor in this wretched attempt at a holiday heart-warmer…

Review of Taking Care of Business (1990)

By Jay Boyar (463) for Orlando Sentinel (1,594) on 10 Feb 1998

Unexpectedly likeable, thanks to the high-spirited performances of stars James Belushi and Charles Grodin, under the relaxed direction by Arthur…

Review of Hook (1991)

By Jay Boyar (463) for Orlando Sentinel (1,594) on 20 Jan 1998

It's a lot of fun to watch - over two hours of thrills, spills, elaborate sets and special effects, all tied together by a pleasingly varied…

Review of Ri¢hie Ri¢h (1994)

By Jay Boyar (463) for Orlando Sentinel (1,594) on 13 Oct 1997

While the filmmakers haven't bothered to come up with a novel approach to very familiar material, the final product is a reasonably entertaining…

Review of Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1987)

By Jay Boyar (463) for Orlando Sentinel (1,594) on 06 Jun 1997

Superman IV is cinematic kryptonite. Not only could it kill the Superman series, it might also leave filmgoers feeling weak…

Review of Skin Deep (1989)

By Jay Boyar (463) for Orlando Sentinel (1,594) on 13 May 1997

But even with Dudley Moore, this movie would probably have fallen flat. At best, Skin Deep is a VCR movie…

Review of The Lair of the White Worm (1988)

By Jay Boyar (463) for Orlando Sentinel (1,594) on 20 Nov 1996

Though the film does contain a few other humorously erotic moments, it's mostly a listless exercise in intentional camp…

Review of It Could Happen to You (1994)

By Jay Boyar (463) for Orlando Sentinel (1,594) on 24 Sep 1996

Entertaining as it sometimes is, IT COULD HAPPEN TO YOU has such a puppy-dog determination to be liked that you want to get it off your lap…

Review of Kids (1995)

By Jay Boyar (463) for Orlando Sentinel (1,594) on 27 May 1996

Potentially the most controversial movie of 1995 and arguably a masterpiece, this edgy, downbeat film falls somewhere between social document…
