Funny Lady (1975) 51% “Where "Funny Girl" has driving forward motion, "Funny Lady" tends to be slow and flat.” – Charlotte Observer Apr 24, 2025 Full Review Brannigan (1975) 48% “"Brannigan" is reasonably good entertainment as detective thrillers go, although John Wayne doesn't dominate the picture as you might expect him to.” – Charlotte Observer Apr 11, 2025 Full Review Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975) 91% “Concocted by Britishers associated with BBC television, it makes Woody Allen seem sedately sane by comparison and leaves jokester Neil Simon looking like Joe Sobersides.” – Charlotte Observer Apr 1, 2025 Full Review Tommy (1975) 71% “The picture has a combination of mind-blowing imaginativeness in parable-pageantry and rhythmical exuberance that is compelling to persons of any age.” – Charlotte Observer Mar 18, 2025 Full Review The Great Waldo Pepper (1975) 61% “Visually, it does good things with 1920's airplanes, but dramatically it rarely gets off the ground. ” – Charlotte Observer Mar 3, 2025 Full Review Nashville (1975) 89% “It's buoyantly rhythmical, gently satirical, and engrossingly crammed with suspense.” – Charlotte Observer Feb 27, 2025 Full Review The Yakuza (1974) 47% “The pace is slow. Motivations seems ridiculous. Dialogue is abominable, although actually just about par for the course for Robert Mitchum. ” – Charlotte Observer Feb 26, 2025 Full Review Barbarella (1968) 65% “An unevenly conceived but refreshing adult fantasy.” – Charlotte Observer Feb 12, 2025 Full Review The Conversation (1974) 93% “A little too slow and somewhat too enigmatic to be first-line entertainment, The Conversation gets in some good licks at the business of bugging and snooping without every being preachy,” – Charlotte Observer Sep 24, 2024 Full Review Jaws (1975) 97% “It's a thriller-chiller all right, but a wee bit short of a classic.” – Charlotte Observer Jul 2, 2024 Full Review Planet of the Apes (1968) 86% “Planet of the Apes is a dandy cinematic combination of fantasy, adventure and satire, one of the most delightfully entertaining motion pictures to come along in many a day.” – Charlotte Observer May 1, 2024 Full Review Jailhouse Rock (1957) 67% “Jailhouse Rock is an astute offering for Presley... It looks very much like an important step in a scheme to let Elvis "level off" into a ballad singer who will be on the scene for a long time to come.” – Charlotte Observer Apr 12, 2024 Full Review Dog Day Afternoon (1975) 96% “Pacino and a genuinely New Yorkish cast give it great vitality.” – Charlotte Observer Apr 6, 2024 Full Review Lady Sings the Blues (1972) 71% “"Lady" is one of the most refreshing and engrossing flicks in a long, long time.” – Charlotte Observer Apr 5, 2024 Full Review Chinatown (1974) 98% “An almost painfully restrained pace and a good amount of commendable acting characterize Chinatown, a detective thriller that... suggests the rich already have inherited the earth.” – Charlotte Observer Mar 8, 2024 Full Review Little Big Man (1970) 91% “This is no sentimental cheapie. The picture fits in nicely in the agonizing reexamination of social values our world is wrestling with now. ” – Charlotte Observer Nov 10, 2023 Full Review The Last Picture Show (1971) 98% “It's a good one, all right, but hardly a classic. ” – Charlotte Observer Oct 25, 2023 Full Review Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore (1974) 92% “Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore is blessed with humanity, brisk comedy, naturalness in acting and a generally peppy pace. It comes close to being just the right cinematic medicine for these recession days. ” – Charlotte Observer Oct 12, 2023 Full Review The Exorcist (1973) 78% “Sensation-sated though we are these days, The Exorcist makes you realize the tremendous potential within the motion-picture medium, affording power to give images of a lurid novel even greater impact. ” – Charlotte Observer Sep 27, 2023 Full Review Requiem for a Heavyweight (1962) 89% “The plot is ruthless in its realism. ” – Charlotte Observer Feb 10, 2023 Full Review La Strada (1954) 98% “There is enough realism to this film to rule it out for those who dote on fairytales. But certainly it gives a deeper understanding of human nature to those who see it.” – Charlotte Observer Sep 14, 2022 Full Review A Man for All Seasons (1966) 89% “It makes the strongest sort of appeal at an unusually high level to the intellect, emotion, and what might be called the social conscience of the viewer.” – Charlotte Observer Sep 7, 2022 Full Review The Sting (1973) 93% “Filmed with fascinating undercurrents of peril and pure fun, The String is outstanding in bringing together once again the acting talents of Paul Newman and Robert Redford.” – Charlotte Observer Aug 8, 2022 Full Review Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid (1973) 59% “In Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid, Peckinpah has come up with a picture that is moderately violent but definitely slow. It appears that Peckinpah's respect for authentic history has dulled his instinct for action. ” – Charlotte Observer Jun 14, 2022 Full Review Barefoot in the Park (1967) 81% “Definitely one of the best movies of the summer, Barefoot squeezes delightful footage out of the connubial conflicts of pixie bride Jane Fonda and her comparatively sober lawyer-husband Robert Redford.” – Charlotte Observer May 2, 2022 Full Review
