“Intermittently inventive, always lively, it remains a series of separate units linked only by a disparate if vigorous style.” –

Planet of the Apes (1968)
86%
“Much of the credit for making this final message almost totally persuasive must go to the make-up department: underneath those flexible simian masks real characters evolve.” –

Seconds (1966)
79%
“Perhaps the real trouble is that a brilliantly conceived idea is never really worked out beyond its first stage. Whatever might have been made of the idea after the personality-change, Frankenheimer's development of it falls decidedly flat.” –

The Dirty Dozen (1967)
82%
“In spite of an intelligent performance from Lee Marvin as the officer, director Robert Aldrich spins it out at such length that by the time the men actually get to France one has lost all interest.” –

The Chase (1966)
73%
“Hysterical, extravagant, preposterous... Yet through all the Wagnerian excesses of the film, one can't help remembering the real events of this summer in Texas.” –

Hell in the Pacific (1969)
67%
“The symbolism is at once too vague and too facile to provide any indication of just what the message is supposed to be. Still, the basic idea is intriguing, even if its logic won't bear much examination.” –

A Thousand Suns (2009)
“This oblique method, the recurring alternation of movement and stillness, the formal geometry of space, time and people, is no mere stylistic indulgence.” –

“Characteristically, Costa-Gavras is unable to resist the opportunist tricks of the skilled exponent of political melodrama.” –

Wednesday's Child (1971)
80%
“Family Life is a lot more 'real' than the overrated Kes; but a film which has prejudice as its theme doesn't gain from playing on the prejudices of its audience.” –

“This is an uncommonly alive little thriller, knowing just what it wants to do and doing it well.” –

The Last Emperor (1987)
86%
“Not for the first time in Bertolucci's work, the parts do not quite build into a whole, even when that whole is built on shifting perspectives. But they are magnificent.” –

Persona (1966)
91%
“Certainly Persona is Bergman's most concentrated work, in a sense a summation of the themes dominant in most of his previous films; and it is undeniably a difficult film, if only because it leaves itself open to so many interpretations.” –
