Vanishing Point (1971) 65% EDIT “It moves like a roller coaster.” – Gannett News Service Feb 5, 2026 Full Review Arabesque (1966) 78% EDIT “Sophia and Peck are prettier than ever, and it's just the sort of thing to see on a rainy spring night - never, never on a nice one-when you don't want to think about anything too strenuous, and wish to be diverted...” – Gannett News Service Feb 4, 2026 Full Review Days of Heaven (1978) 93% EDIT “It quite takes the breath away. I cannot recall being so visually stunned since the first time I saw Murnau's "Sunrise." Malick has not only created his own language, he seems to have invented a whole new world and landscape never seen before.” – Gannett News Service Feb 4, 2026 Full Review Bite the Bullet (1975) 69% EDIT “It all made me so sleepy, I cannot even recall who won.” – Gannett News Service Jan 15, 2026 Full Review The Wiz (1978) 38% EDIT “The film on the whole lacks a unified style.” – Gannett News Service Nov 17, 2025 Full Review Hard Times (1975) 72% EDIT “The sad period has been used exploitively to relate the story.” – Gannett News Service Sep 26, 2025 Full Review Superman: The Movie (1978) 87% EDIT “After two years in the making, at a rumored cost of $40 million, Superman has at last flown in to roost at your local theater and despite a magic moment here and there, its wings are leaden, its spirit earthbound. ” – Gannett News Service Jul 8, 2025 Full Review Superman III (1983) 31% EDIT “Sad to say, but the wild imagination and fun which made Superman and even more particularly Superman II such joys to watch are missing in Superman III.” – Gannett News Service Jul 8, 2025 Full Review Superman II (1980) 88% EDIT “I didn't think "Superman" was all that wonderful, but let it be said that as sequels go, "Superman II" is a damned good one.” – Gannett News Service Jun 29, 2025 Full Review Rollerball (1975) 56% EDIT “It falls flat on its opulent face.” – Gannett News Service Jun 5, 2025 Full Review Night Moves (1975) 78% EDIT “Penn is a sufficiently good director to keep you from being bored even when you don't know what he's doing and where he's going.” – Gannett News Service May 28, 2025 Full Review Funny Lady (1975) 55% EDIT “The real Fanny Brice story is far more interesting than anything you'll see in "Funny Lady."” – Gannett News Service Apr 24, 2025 Full Review Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980) 93% EDIT “There are two welcome additions to the cast, Billy Dee Williams as a spatial adventurer, and a completely captivating Yoda, who leads Luke to the ultimate truth of the Jedi.” – Gannett News Service Apr 23, 2025 Full Review Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977) 94% EDIT “Best of all is Alec Guinness as old Ben Kenobi, who gives everybody a lesson in nobility, sagacity, humanity, and acting. Go and enjoy, or as Star Wars says, May the Force Be With You.” – Gannett News Service Apr 22, 2025 Full Review 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) 90% EDIT “Kubrick becomes so involved with his science, so enamored of his effects, his use of color, his absorption with his tricks and dazzling flights of imagination, that he forgets about us.” – Gannett News Service Apr 9, 2025 Full Review Capone (1975) 32% EDIT “"Capone" must be at least the 83rd attempt to "expose" Al Capone... and it's worse than all its predecessors. ” – Gannett News Service Apr 8, 2025 Full Review Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975) 92% EDIT “Though there are valleys in which not too much that is funny happens, its peaks are so shriekingly hilarious... that they more than compensate for the slower stretches.” – Gannett News Service Apr 1, 2025 Full Review Rancho Deluxe (1975) 62% EDIT “The film has been edited so that it makes no sense and not even good nonsense.” – Gannett News Service Mar 27, 2025 Full Review At Long Last Love (1975) 23% EDIT “"At Long Last Love" is almost a tone poem in misused effects.” – Gannett News Service Mar 25, 2025 Full Review Tommy (1975) 71% EDIT “For once, Russell's brilliant, daring but erratic talents are matched with the right property.” – Gannett News Service Mar 18, 2025 Full Review Le Samouraï (1967) 92% EDIT “What a gifted French director can with the sordid material is something else.” – Gannett News Service Mar 18, 2025 Full Review Rafferty and the Gold Dust Twins (1975) 54% EDIT “It tries very hard to say something important about these terrible times but... keeps getting bogged down by a painful case of the self-conscious cutes.” – Gannett News Service Mar 11, 2025 Full Review Mr. Ricco (1975) 33% EDIT “Martin's laconic, tipsy, feeling-no-pain persona used to be charming, but now he seems merely tired and mechanical.” – Gannett News Service Mar 7, 2025 Full Review The Prisoner of Second Avenue (1975) 52% EDIT “"The Prisoner of Second Avenue" is neither comedy nor tragedy nor good red herring, it is a bad tempered harangue, a testy diatribe which finally tries the patience.” – Gannett News Service Mar 7, 2025 Full Review Nashville (1975) 89% EDIT “It is not only the most imaginative and ambitious movie this most brilliant of American directors has yet given us, but also one of the most extraordinary films ever made anywhere.” – Gannett News Service Feb 26, 2025 Full Review
