Only Yesterday (1933) 100% “It has been filmed with great tact and beauty, and Miss Sullavan plays it for all It is worth.” – Washington Star Apr 23, 2024 Full Review State Fair (1933) 100% “Except for one or two theatric love-moments, which do not beat close to the heart of realism, it is the kind of a picture which is seldom constructed -- being honest, clean and consistently drole.” – Washington Star Nov 10, 2023 Full Review The Bitter Tea of General Yen (1933) 86% “Although there is nothing particularly sprightly about it. and some of the sequences are long and slightly tedious, the film is a fine example of how a large screen canvas may be filled with color and panoramic splendor.” – Washington Star Apr 24, 2023 Full Review Frankenstein (1931) 94% “A blood-curdling drama which so out-Draculas Dracula that the latter might as well be a Sunday afternoon parlor game. ” – Washington Star Jan 18, 2023 Full Review King Kong (1933) 97% “The "trick" photography in this is the nearest thing to a miracle the cinema has produced. We defy you to figure out just how it has been done. ” – Washington Star Nov 9, 2022 Full Review The President's Mystery (1936) 80% “It is stated by a popular magazine that our Chief Executive was responsible for the plot of... The President’s Mystery. If this be so, then he had a good idea and followed it up to the hilt. Nor did R-K-O leave him in the lurch.” – Washington Star Oct 25, 2022 Full Review Shanghai Express (1932) 96% “The picture itself ranks high among the really artistic creations that the screen has put forth -- and this through the uncanny direction of Josef von Sternberg, who has vitalized it into something far removed from the ordinary.” – Washington Star Oct 21, 2022 Full Review Modern Times (1936) 98% “Chaplin exhibits his amazing versatility in the fast-forgotten art of pantomime and makes you laugh when you had perhaps expected to cry.” – Washington Star May 6, 2021 Full Review “Far afield from his former characterizations, [Barrymore] makes a complete turn about, doffs the mantle of the romantic lover, and emerges as the cleverest inebriate that ever graced a dinner table.” – Washington Star Mar 9, 2021 Full Review Maedchen in Uniform (1931) 100% “There is a sensitiveness about Maedehen In Uniform... which no other film has achieved. There is also beauty of thought and a deep pathos which becomes vibrant in its intensity.” – Washington Star Nov 18, 2020 Full Review The Raven (1935) 79% “The film is noteworthy for the fact that it presents the art of make-up at its height.” – Washington Star Oct 14, 2020 Full Review The Mummy (1932) 89% “It is not by any means a good film. Nor is it the peer of melodramas. But it does offer a certain thrill to those who are looking for such things.” – Washington Star Oct 8, 2020 Full Review The Invisible Man (1933) 95% “The best of the horror sagas, being imaginatively and emotionally satisfying and having a hero who is a great success by being continually out of sight.” – Washington Star Oct 8, 2020 Full Review Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1931) 91% “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is a pleasantly unpleasant picture.” – Washington Star Oct 7, 2020 Full Review Convention City (1933) 86% “[Convention City] is a very funny film. It is also a very naughty film. We can imagine the censor lads sitting through it with shades over their eyes. The dialogue is bright. The acting is excellent.” – Washington Star Jul 1, 2020 Full Review The Crime of Dr. Forbes (1936) “The solution need not be told you. But it is rather wasted since the participants are all as much scrambled up at the end as they were at the beginning.” – Washington Star Jun 10, 2020 Full Review Bird of Paradise (1932) 50% “The whole thing Is soothing to the eye. soothing to the ear and wonderfully picturesque.” – Washington Star Apr 21, 2020 Full Review No Man of Her Own (1932) 91% “Eventually the picture settles down to being ordinarily "heavy," but it ends on a bright note and its first half is by all odds Gable's best work.” – Washington Star Apr 20, 2020 Full Review Blonde Venus (1932) 65% “While the theme is often dreary, and in spots almost objectionable as far as we could see It makes "swell" entertainment -- and is acted all the way through up to the hilt.” – Washington Star Apr 10, 2020 Full Review Scarface (1932) 98% “If you are fond of an evening of bloodshed and some "stout" first-rate acting from an excellent cast, you will find it will provide you with all the cinematic beer and skittles you have been looking for.” – Washington Star Apr 9, 2020 Full Review All Quiet on the Western Front (1930) 98% “There is no question that this is a screen masterpiece. No film has ever been able to rivet the audience's attention and hold it literally spell bound In the manner of All Quiet.” – Washington Star Jan 28, 2020 Full Review Mutiny on the Bounty (1935) 96% “It is a splendid achievement, and one of which every one concerned may well feel proud.” – Washington Star Jan 27, 2020 Full Review It Happened One Night (1934) 98% “A very merry picture and one which puts Gable back on the map as an ace matinee idol.” – Washington Star Jan 25, 2020 Full Review Cavalcade (1933) 64% “This is a kind of a film which is rare, and good, and true -- and one which you will not be ashamed to shed a tear over.” – Washington Star Jan 25, 2020 Full Review Grand Hotel (1932) 87% “[Grand Hotel] may be put high up on the list of real screen achievements.” – Washington Star Jan 24, 2020 Full Review
