"Johnson Family Vacation affords the viewer a single offering of suspense in wondering just how the mode of transportation (a very souped-up Lincoln) will be destroyed."

"As an American propagandistic attempt to market patriotism (or courage, or honor), it is arguably successful; by its own merits it is merely decent."

"A war film this is not. The camouflage, though in abundance, is as incidental as the setting. These soldiers sneak martinis more often than they write letters home."

"'Project Greenlight' is both a reality TV concept and lengthy Making-Of documentary, reducing the consequent film to this set’s preeminent special feature."

"20,000 Leagues is a sublime story of isolation, of disparate masculine seclusion, akin to those found in such films as Jaws and The Thing."

"Part II incorporates both the staple features of the first film and, at its base, a more mature theme. The film is ridden with questionable violence, and contains an awkward moment of Oedipal frustration."

"Even some fifteen years after the release of Blue Velvet its vision remains wildly adamant relative to the stride of other works of contemporary noir. There have been many films about suburban crime, but none as dangerously imposing as this."
