Blonde Venus
(1932)

Richard G. Moffett

"Blonde Venus"...gives Marlene Dietrich plenty of opportunity to display her talents as an actress which she does with true artistry.

In the big scene with Lionel Barrymore, however, Garbo loses her self-consciousness and rises to the heights of great acting.

Dracula

The script leaves so many loose ends it could benefit from the services of Dracula's overworked abbey of spiders.

The Wiz
(1978)
|
Stan Franklin

Unfortunately the flashy excesses and the decision to have an overage big name in the starring role overwhelm the picture. It's sterile.

DuckTales, the Movie: Treasure of the Lost Lamp
(1990)
|

It's bland, average stuff that doesn't meet the expectations of a full-length animated feature, certainly not from the Disney factory.

The Prisoner of Second Avenue

Treading on the narrow line of pathos between humor and tragedy, "Prisoner" is a first-rate filmization.
