	Grease 2 (1982)	Fred Haeseker	The enterprise badly needs an oil change. Posted Apr 08, 2026 Edit critic review
	Stand by Me (1986)	Fred Haeseker	Director Reiner achieves a remarkable rapport with his talented young cast in Stand By Me... The film glows with an authentic, lovingly detailed vision of American boyhood that recalls Mark Twain. Posted Apr 07, 2026 Edit critic review
	RoboCop (1987)	Fred Haeseker	The violence is brutal and unremitting, but director Paul Verhoeven's choreography of the action scenes is exceptionally stylish. Posted Apr 06, 2026 Edit critic review
	The Muppet Movie (1979)	Fred Haeseker	The humor of The Muppet Movie is fast, light and irreverent; it's one of the most entertaining and intelligent family-rated pictures in a long time. Posted Apr 06, 2026 Edit critic review
	The Bad News Bears (1976)	Carol Hogg	Under the direction of Michael Ritchie both the tension and the comedy come through. Posted Apr 06, 2026 Edit critic review
1.5/4	My Boyfriend's Back (1993)	Chris Knight	Unfortunately, the asides are about as sharp as Jell-O, and the dead-pan acting is just plain annoying after a while. Posted Aug 12, 2022 Edit critic review
2.5/4	Hard Target (1993)	Chris Knight	Don't expect too much from Hard Target, and you won't be disappointed. Shoot-em-up action films have a limited range, but John Woo and company take this one to the limit. Posted Aug 12, 2022 Edit critic review
