• Grosse Pointe Blank directed by George Armitage (1997)

  [9/10]

  "The story combines hit men, romance, fights, explosions, and comedy. And all this accompanied by well chosen music from the 1980s."

• Joy Luck Club, The directed by Wayne Wang (1993)

  [8/10]

  "The Joy Luck Club examines the lives of eight women: four mothers and their daughters. Each mother went through harrowing experiences to come to the United States from pre-Communist China. And even though the daughters only know fragments of their mothers' stories, these events define major aspects of their personalities and their relationships with their mothers and others."

• Puppet Masters, The directed by Stuart Orme (1994)

  [6/10]

  "Nothing really stands out in The Puppet Masters, but none of the usual B-movie flaws drag it down ether, which leaves you with a mildly pleasant sci-fi feature."

• Sixth Sense, The directed by M. Night Shyamalan (1999)

  [8/10]

  "I must admit that on my first viewing the ending took me totally by surprise. Usually I can see 'surprise' endings within a few minutes of the opening of the film. Shyamalan has built a plot that supports the surprise ending in every way and never telegraphs the ending."

  Average score: 7.75
