Funny Lady (1975) 51% “It's polished, well acted and carefully balanced.” – Tampa Bay Times Apr 24, 2025 Full Review Sheila Levine Is Dead and Living in New York (1975) 36% “Miss Berlin's ability to move nimbly between humor and pathos keeps the film rolling along.” – Tampa Bay Times Apr 9, 2025 Full Review Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975) 91% “The search for the Holy Grail has never been so outrageously funny, so full of mocking satire and absurd thought associations that trigger a string of wildly unrelated fantasies.” – Tampa Bay Times Apr 1, 2025 Full Review The Prisoner of Second Avenue (1975) 47% “Motivated to give resounding applause to this film, I am restrained by the second-rate, inexcusable sloppy technical quality of the movie.” – Tampa Bay Times Mar 7, 2025 Full Review The Great Waldo Pepper (1975) 61% “Hill relies too heavily on excitement in the air to compensate for the absence of excitement in the spirit of individual men.” – Tampa Bay Times Mar 3, 2025 Full Review Nashville (1975) 89% “Altman's biggest and truest to date, a film about the country music scene in which the maverick director's innovative techniques point a new direction for motion pictures.” – Tampa Bay Times Feb 27, 2025 Full Review Barry Lyndon (1975) 78% “Barry Lyndon is another success for Stanley Kubrick. How unfortunate that so few people will ever know it. ” – Tampa Bay Times Feb 25, 2025 Full Review The Conversation (1974) 94% “It is the sort of film that viewers walk out of shaking their heads in appreciation and amazement at what the director has accomplished.” – Tampa Bay Times Sep 24, 2024 Full Review Jaws (1975) 97% “Spielberg touches that central mystery that has always drawn men to the last earthly frontier: the image of an unfathomable, impenetrable deep full of terror beyond our reckoning.” – Tampa Bay Times Jul 2, 2024 Full Review Dog Day Afternoon (1975) 96% 3/4 “The movie is a strange one, quite unlike any other, and that alone is a commendation in these dull times when filmmakers are playing sequel and catch-up with one another.” – Tampa Bay Times Apr 6, 2024 Full Review Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977) 90% 5/5 “Perhaps in this skeptical time, it is enough to know -- enough to wonder -- that a director and creator can still make a movie as awesome and visually satisfying as this one. ” – Tampa Bay Times Apr 3, 2024 Full Review Chinatown (1974) 98% “The film is elevated far above the usual whodunit by its studied and brilliant style. Certain motifs float through the movie, to be ignored or enjoyed, depending on the viewer's insight.” – Tampa Bay Times Mar 8, 2024 Full Review Taxi Driver (1976) 89% “[Taxi Driver] is meant to reflect the fascination of this country with violence. But so what? The annoying suspicion that Scorsese both exploits and mocks this fascination undercuts the integrity of his film. ” – Tampa Bay Times Oct 6, 2023 Full Review The Exorcist (1973) 78% “It is absolutely, almost unspeakably shocking. But the question is, to what end?... Whatever deeper purpose the film may have had as a study of Christian commitment or moral strength is lost in the more sensationalized aspects.” – Tampa Bay Times Sep 27, 2023 Full Review 3 Women (1977) 83% “Visually interesting, this ultimately boring drama is a zoom-lens look at the evolving and finally merging identities of three women. ” – Tampa Bay Times Apr 5, 2023 Full Review Annie Hall (1977) 97% 3/4 “It is not as funny as Love and Death nor as poignant as Play It Again, Sam, but Woody still manages to reduce all of life down to a resigned sigh. ” – Tampa Bay Times Aug 25, 2022 Full Review The Sting (1973) 93% “The sort of film about which old-timers say "They don't make 'em like that anymore." It's the sort that is content to be entertaining (no mean feat in itself) and not determined to be the biggest, bloodiest, sexiest, fastest film making the rounds. ” – Tampa Bay Times Aug 8, 2022 Full Review Freebie and the Bean (1974) 23% “The movie is such a hopeless confusion of styles and tones and wasted effort and undirected energy that it requires a great deal more than good performances to save it.” – Tampa Bay Times May 5, 2021 Full Review The Godfather, Part II (1974) 96% “Acknowledgement should be given the film for its sweep and scope and a style so distinctive that Coppola must be credited with creating something entirely fresh and inimitable -- the hallmarks of a first-rate artist.” – Tampa Bay Times Apr 6, 2021 Full Review Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977) 94% “It is almost as if Lucas took recognizable characters from myth and legend and then emptied them of meaning so as not to distract his audience from his spectacular sets, monsters and special effects.” – Tampa Bay Times Jan 1, 2000 Full Review
