Clark Kellogg is a young man starting his first year at film school in New York City. After a small time crook steals all his belongings, Clark meets Carmine “Jimmy the Toucan” Sabatini, an “importer” bearing a startling resemblance to a certain cinematic godfather. When Sabatini makes Clark an offer he can’t refuse, he finds himself caught up in a caper involving endangered species and fine dining.

Back to the Future Part III draws the trilogy to a satisfying close with a simpler, sweeter round of time-travel antics
Back to the Future Part III is the perfect conclusion to the trilogy, and it’s a wild ride through the Old West. The film ties up all the loose ends from the previous installments, and it’s a blast to see Marty McFly and Doc Brown in a new setting. The romance between Christopher Lloyd and Mary Steenburgen is surprisingly sweet, and Michael J. Fox is as charming as ever. Plus, the repetition of certain jokes and gags is absolutely hilarious. It’s a silly movie, but it’s a lot of fun. Yeehaw!

A potboiler in the finest sense, Fatal Attraction is a sultry, juicy thriller that’s hard to look away from once it gets going
Fatal Attraction is the kind of movie that makes you want to lock your doors and never leave your house again. But let’s be real, who wouldn’t want to watch Glenn Close go full-on crazy and boil a bunny? It’s a classic ’80s thriller that still manages to hold up today, even if the depiction of mental health is a bit questionable. Plus, Michael Douglas and Anne Archer give great performances as the couple caught in the middle of Close’s madness. Overall, it’s a must-watch for anyone who loves a good suspenseful ride. Just maybe don’t watch it alone.

Under the direction of Adrian Lyne, most of the picture’s situations seem like randomly chosen place holders, flat events that just fill time until the final bizarre confrontation.

[The film brings] horror home to a place where the grownup moviegoer actually lives.

TOP CRITIC
The screws are tightened expertly in this suspenseful meller about a flipped-out femme who makes life hell for the married man who scorns her.

TOP CRITIC
While billed as a romance and a thriller, the film strictly qualifies as neither, appealing to our prurience, guilt, hatred, and dread.

Years hence, it will be possible to pinpoint the exact moment that produced Fatal Attraction, Adrian Lyne’s new romantic thriller, and the precise circumstances that made it a hit.

Sure, Alex may be little more than a bunny-boiling stalker but Fatal Attraction is still notable for Close’s resilient, complex performance.

TOP CRITIC
Save for the horror-movie finale (which, despite being unforgettable, is something of a misstep), there’s nothing too overblown or exaggerated about this harrowing duel.

Fatal Attraction may remain an influence on the genre but something could be said about the depiction of mental health in the film.

There are so many reasons Fatal Attraction is such a great film but first and foremost is the cast.

…a justifiably iconic ’80s release that still holds up relatively all these years later.

Reel Film Reviews
Fatal Attraction is a shameless stew of sensationalist effects, destined to give the appearance of a movie to its absolute emptiness. [Full Review in Spanish]

Ángel Fernández-Santos
El Pais (Spain)
Until it goes berserk in the last reel or so, Fatal Attraction is an absorbing drama of civilized adultery that gets less civilized as it goes on to its inevitable conclusion.

Plot
