Review of Mississippi Masala (1991)

By Sam M (1,488) on 23 Oct 2017

Review of Barton Fink (1991)

By Sam M (1,488) on 22 Oct 2017

Review of Backdraft (1991)

By Sam M (1,488) on 19 Oct 2017

An insult to realism, it's nothing more than entertainment, and if you never learned backdrafts, well this film will teach you about it…

Review of A Kiss Before Dying (1991)

By Sam M (1,488) on 17 Oct 2017

Difficult to understand somewhat, but fairly clever and I'll say old-fashioned story telling…

One of my most favorite movies of all time…

Review of One Good Cop (1991)

By Sam M (1,488) on 17 Oct 2017

The drama is good, but becomes complicated in the middle of the plot and perhaps a bit too much action verging on cheesy…

Review of Family Business (1982)

By Sam M (1,488) on 15 Oct 2017

The flaws actually make this film better, that's the catch and what distracts the viewer from they're really watching…

Review of The Bonfire of the Vanities (1990)

By Sam M (1,488) on 14 Oct 2017

Review of The Mountain Between Us (2017)

(Spoilers) I was already debating whether I wanted to see this movie or not, because it seemed like just another movie about being stranded…

Review of The Russia House (1990)

Review of Mermaids (1990)

By Sam M (1,488) on 10 Oct 2017
