Legend (1985) 33% EDIT “Where's the beef under all the fixings? Bite down, and your mouth's full of smoke. Trying to tell a magic story with mirrors, Legend simply mystifies rather than mesmerizes. ” – Windsor Star Apr 17, 2026 Full Review The Bad News Bears in Breaking Training (1977) 42% EDIT “William Devane's flinty good looks parry well with the freckle-faced Haley, who was born to be on the screen. And the team spirit is good.” – Windsor Star Apr 15, 2026 Full Review RoboCop 2 (1990) 31% EDIT “The hysterical brutality is aimed, pure and simple, at exploiting some of the worst of our human characteristics. ” – Windsor Star Apr 10, 2026 Full Review Victor/Victoria (1982) 85% EDIT “It settles for happy endings without answers, but the movie's own heart is so strong that its waffling doesn't ever matter. ” – Windsor Star Apr 8, 2026 Full Review Stand by Me (1986) 89% EDIT “Small is beautiful for Stand by Me, a sweetly unassuming reminiscence of the end of boyhood.” – Windsor Star Apr 7, 2026 Full Review RoboCop (1987) 84% EDIT “Verhoeven gleefully spreads gore and carnage across the screen. Only the film's enthusiasm lets on that he is approximately as serious as a Roadrunner cartoon.” – Windsor Star Apr 6, 2026 Full Review Vanishing Point (1971) 63% EDIT “While the director, Richard C. Sarafin, shows a nice sense of time and place, his foolish story is burdened with kooky characters.” – Windsor Star Apr 6, 2026 Full Review The Muppet Movie (1979) 89% EDIT “Such ingenuity, coupled with Kermit and company's established charm, makes their movie at least a novel experience and at best a pleasure.” – Windsor Star Apr 6, 2026 Full Review The Bad News Bears (1976) 90% EDIT “Anchored by Walter Matthau's endearingly crotchety performances as an alcoholic Little League coach, the movie is just warm and weepy and cute enough to qualify as the genuine article.” – Windsor Star Apr 6, 2026 Full Review
