    It has great performances, snappy one-liners and a likeably tricksy structure, all wrapped up in an affirmative antidote to life’s daunting complexities. Welcome back, Woody.

    Michael Lehmann’s feature debut introduced the world to Christian Slater at his Jack Nicholson, subversive best and gave Winona Ryder a career-high role.

    This is a timeless thriller, a reminder of how stars who have been so average elsewhere can produce excellent — some career-best — work when given a decent script and a confident director.

    Louis Sachar's compelling children's classic is about as Disney as Freddy Krueger. It's got murder, racism, facial disfigurement and killer lizards.
    • Metascore: 75
    • Emma Cochrane 80
    Almodóvar lets rip with a story of great emotional intensity, while retaining his signature stunning visual style and a central performance quite unlike anything previously seen in his work. A potent and strikingly well-delivered combination.

    Audrey Hepburn is delicious as Holly and the Henry Mancini score is in the class of elite soundtracks. [Review of re-release]
    • Metascore: 46
    • Emma Cochrane 60
    Romantic images are subverted, the sex scenes are graphic and desperate. It's less grim than Susanna Moore's original novella, but the foreshadowing that all is not right is in everything, from the music to the dialogue.
    • Metascore: 70
    • Emma Cochrane 60
    Keaton handles her appealing ensemble, the early 60s period and child's perspective of tragedy, love and reconciliation with a sure, gentle hand.
    • Metascore: 77
    • Emma Cochrane 60
    Interesting for it's historical notoriety, but overlong and dull in places.
    • Metascore: 48

    This spoof vampire flick's sole joke is that the heroine (Kristy Swanson) is a blonde, L.A. airhead rather than a beefed-up stake-toter, mentored by Donald Sutherland's deadpan Watcher.
    • Metascore: 46
    • Emma Cochrane 40
    Less than crowd-pleasing chick flick livened up by John Cusack’s self-penned one-liners.
    • Metascore: tbd
    • Emma Cochrane 40
    Most unforgivably, the period detail is all over the place and the punk/disco soundtrack a real hotch potch, leaving this a story with no real sense of time or place.
    • Metascore: 53
    • Emma Cochrane 40
    A serious misfire.
    • Metascore: 54
    • Emma Cochrane 40
    Good intentions, but dull and predictable.
