Ghosts of Mississippi (1996) 42% C EDIT “It succeeds as a detective story and moral fable, but the courtroom scenes lack bite and the domestic matters are pure made-for-TV movie.” – The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY) Apr 10, 2026 Full Review The First Wives Club (1996) 50% C EDIT “Simple and trite.” – The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY) Apr 10, 2026 Full Review The Evening Star (1996) 20% C+ EDIT “The results are at best mixed. The problem is that this is too much a melodrama and much too long.” – The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY) Apr 10, 2026 Full Review The English Patient (1996) 86% B EDIT “It's long and slow, but it has undeniable romantic appeal. This could be the romantic hit of the holiday as well as an Oscar contender.” – The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY) Apr 10, 2026 Full Review Daylight (1996) 28% C EDIT “As with most disaster films, there are some spectacular explosions and scary acts of destruction, but the human activity is not so well executed.” – The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY) Apr 10, 2026 Full Review The Crucible (1996) 72% A EDIT “A powerful, vital and compelling adaptation of the great Arthur Miller play.” – The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY) Apr 10, 2026 Full Review Breaking the Waves (1996) 85% A- EDIT “A movie which is both powerful drama and for some a religious awakening.” – The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY) Apr 10, 2026 Full Review Beavis and Butt-head Do America (1996) 70% C EDIT “Before the movie peters out, some funny situations do arise. Shrink back in horror if you wish, but these too are genuine American adolescents who still come in all ages.” – The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY) Apr 10, 2026 Full Review William Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet (1996) 75% B+ EDIT “A daring and audacious rendering which has the courage to be a movie instead of some slavish imitation of a stage play.” – The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY) Apr 10, 2026 Full Review Star Trek: First Contact (1996) 93% B EDIT “An accomplished offering with a dual plot -- part Moby Dick, part Back to the Future, or rather back to the past. A pleasant time-warp plot.” – The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY) Apr 10, 2026 Full Review Space Jam (1996) 44% B EDIT “Though hardly dramatically challenged, Jordan has a winning presence and even spoofs himself and his failed baseball experiment.” – The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY) Apr 10, 2026 Full Review Sleepers (1996) 75% B EDIT “Prepare to have some juicy discussions about ethics, morality and justice.” – The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY) Apr 10, 2026 Full Review Secrets & Lies (1996) 96% A+ EDIT “A masterpiece brought to us by Mike Leigh who has no peer when it comes to depicting working-class families.” – The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY) Apr 10, 2026 Full Review Ridicule (1996) 81% B- EDIT “[An] enjoyable and perceptive French comedy.” – The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY) Apr 10, 2026 Full Review Ransom (1996) 73% C EDIT “As taut as their film may appear to be, it doesn't know when or how to release its energy. A slick, shallow movie.” – The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY) Apr 10, 2026 Full Review The Preacher's Wife (1996) 60% C EDIT “Nice but uninspired, it fails to transcend the original.” – The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY) Apr 10, 2026 Full Review 101 Dalmatians (1996) 39% C EDIT “Despite a promising start and its high-tech styling, this highly-ballyhooed live action feature is disappointing.” – The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY) Apr 10, 2026 Full Review One Fine Day (1996) 56% B- EDIT “Michelle Pfeiffer are that rarity, incredibly good-looking leads who can act. A "Pillow Talk" for the '90s.” – The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY) Apr 10, 2026 Full Review My Fellow Americans (1996) 48% B- EDIT “It's facile and relatively unambitious. But with the two stars, it's still fun and better than Grumpy Old Men.” – The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY) Apr 10, 2026 Full Review The Mirror Has Two Faces (1996) 51% C- EDIT “Streisand fans will like it. But her unwillingness to look bedraggled undermines the drama of the movie.” – The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY) Apr 10, 2026 Full Review Michael (1996) 37% D EDIT “No magic here; just John Travolta with dirty angel wings looking silly in a ridiculously inept story.” – The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY) Apr 10, 2026 Full Review Mars Attacks! (1996) 56% B- EDIT “It's a novelty, an outlandish succession of scenes, some funny, a few memorable and as the movie drags on, more than a few, tiresome. ” – The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY) Apr 10, 2026 Full Review Jingle All the Way (1996) 20% D- EDIT “This is a one joke movie that ends as a downer.” – The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY) Apr 10, 2026 Full Review Jerry Maguire (1996) 86% B+ EDIT “After a lackluster stint in Mission: Impossible, Cruise is terrific as a slick sports agent who goes soft and finds middle-class romance.” – The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY) Apr 10, 2026 Full Review Sense and Sensibility (1995) 97% EDIT “Rich, tart, witty, romantic and whimsical, it is an absolute gem: indeed, it is a masterpiece in wondrous storytelling. ” – The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY) Feb 26, 2026 Full Review
