An enjoyable pastiche of martial arts, romance, music, and video, THE LAST DRAGON presents a likable young hero, Leroy (Taimak), who aspires to become a kung fu master.- TV Guide Magazine

Indistinguishable from any of the He-Man TV episodes or videocassettes in any aspect other than length, which is probably a moot point at best. This is a ground-out effort designed to please the calculated expectations of He-Man's loyal audiences.- TV Guide Magazine

An offbeat, existential crime drama buoyed by fine performances; nicely turned dialogue; and an evocative soundtrack and theme song from Paco di Lucia and Eric Clapton, respectively.- TV Guide Magazine

The film tries to be a modern-day female version of THE DEFIANT ONES but fails to be anything more than 87 minutes of tripe.- TV Guide Magazine

What chiefly keeps this film on target, though, is Goldblum's marvelously deadpan reaction to all the bloodshed around him. The tone, despite the frequent bloodletting, is light, and the film works better than the script would indicate.- TV Guide Magazine

Hughes, though he gives the material a sense of fun and achieves several moments of genuine warmth, too often resorts to obvious cliches, stereotypes, and easy answers, and throws in the near-obligatory rock video as well.- TV Guide Magazine

Just when it seemed Albert Brooks had gotten his creative energies under control, along comes this intermittently funny, often overdone comedy that could have been a classic.- TV Guide Magazine

Sure-footed thriller, beautifully photographed, with Ford's best performance thus far.- TV Guide Magazine

Both a spy drama and an intriguing character study. Penn invests his Snowman with fascinating eccentricity and is the more interesting of the pair, though Hutton delivers an estimable performance as the sullen young falconer.- TV Guide Magazine

This one combines elements of AMERICAN GRAFFITI, GREASE, and PORKY'S with a liberal dose of TV's popular sitcom Happy Days.- TV Guide Magazine

This wonderfully touching and funny reminiscence of life in a Catholic boys high school in Brooklyn circa 1965 went mostly unnoticed by critics and moviegoers alike. HEAVEN HELP US is a refreshingly honest portrayal of teenagers. No character is stereotyped, and events turn out differently than expected.- TV Guide Magazine

Although the story makes for a movie that is often slow going, it is also a beautiful and evocative film fueled by an excellent performance from Davis and Peggy Ashcroft.- TV Guide Magazine

None of the episodes is especially exciting, and they are all so brief that very little depth can be found in any of them.- TV Guide Magazine

Since FANDANGO never has anything to say about its well-worn themes, the film quickly becomes boring and predictable.- TV Guide Magazine

The Coens' concern isn't emotional intensity but bravura camera moves and chic lighting of cinematographer Barry Sonnenfeld.- TV Guide Magazine

Because of their restricted movements and expressions, we never believe for a moment that the creatures exist, thus making the film an utter failure.- TV Guide Magazine

It's not all that scary, either, making this psuedo-horror film largely a waste of time for even hard-core fans of the genre.- TV Guide Magazine

Tuff Turf is so relentlessly derivative that its good points--chiefly an attractive, relatively talented cast--are buried in cliche.- TV Guide Magazine

A good film for the viewer who isn't interested in being entertained but is willing to be thrown into the muck of the problems facing hard-working American farmers.- TV Guide Magazine

Even with all its flaws, Johnny Dangerously has many genuinely funny moments, and if you're in the mood for silliness, you won't stop laughing.- TV Guide Magazine

Fast-paced, fully aware of its own foolishness, and with lively dance sequences, BREAKIN' 2 is an enjoyable diversion for those who like breakdancing.- TV Guide Magazine

There's not a single bad performance here, and director Marshall wisely builds his film on small moments, realized with sympathy and intelligence.- TV Guide Magazine

Birdy is one of those rare movies that successfully brings a psychological novel to the screen without sacrificing its saliency or complexity.- TV Guide Magazine

Micki & Maude has some very funny scenes and excellent acting from all the performers. It begins a bit slowly but builds well and winds up in a comic celebration.- TV Guide Magazine

Hawn has the right screen persona to carry it off, but her character is lost in a barrage of weak comic moments and absurd action.- TV Guide Magazine
