Dune (1984) |
The screenplay loses itself in a confusion of supernatural imagery. Worse yet, Dune fails to develop the sense of allegiance that makes it fun for the moviegoers to pull for the forces of good over evil. - Tampa Bay Times

Moscow on the Hudson (1984) |
Instead of taking comic advantage of Vladimir's culture shock and letting the improvisational Williams run wild with it, Mazursky... turns the movie into one long, moralistic platitude. - Tampa Bay Times

Yentl (1983) |
Yentl succeeds as a hearth-warm holiday movie, wholesome enough for children, and with sufficient between-the-lines humor to keep adults amused. - Tampa Bay Times

Scarface (1983) |
Scarface clearly lacks the suspense, macabre style and the deranged wit of previous De Palma films such as Carrie and Dressed to Kill. It is too slow for an action movie and too bent on destruction to make it for serious moviegoers. - Tampa Bay Times

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984) |
Temple of Doom oozes and crawls its way into our favor. Life among its cobwebs makes for extremely jumpy, eyes-through-your-fingers viewing. - Tampa Bay Times

Terms of Endearment (1983) |
Deep down, it has a soap opera's heart, but the acting elevates it and seems to make the picture better than it should be. The performers revel in the unpredictability of their characters, and the picture never stands still long enough to ask questions. - Tampa Bay Times

Gandhi (1982) |
Educational? Yes. Uplifting? Undoubtedly. But what actually makes Gandhi a king-sized entertainment is the splendid pacing and its ability to keep an audience interested and seat-bound throughout its long duration. - Tampa Bay Times

The Last Starfighter (1984) |
The Last Starfighter is more than just an egregious ripoff of Star Wars, it's a Hollywood clinic in blown chances and missed opportunities. - Tampa Bay Times

The Toy (1982) |
Although the film is not very good, Pryor repeatedly rescues us from boredom. - Tampa Bay Times

The Mean Season (1985) |
The movie's critical flaw is that Borsos and screenwriter Leon Piedmont show little respect for the viewer's intelligence. - Tampa Bay Times
