Buck and the Preacher (1972) 84% “Uneven, some sequences are breezy and entertaining while others are slow and repetitive. Even so, though first-time director, Poitier shows skill for staging some scenes -- especially those with Belafonte -- with easy and unguarded humor.” – EmanuelLevy.Com May 26, 2022 Full Review 4/5 “” – EmanuelLevy.Com May 9, 2021 Full Review 3/5 “” – EmanuelLevy.Com May 2, 2021 Full Review The Decalogue (1989) 100% 5/5 “” – EmanuelLevy.Com May 1, 2021 Full Review B “A solid, quite moving meditation on the intellectual and emotional climate in Israel after the 1995 assassination of Prime Minister Rabin, structured as a journey to Tel-Aviv, Gaza, Golan Heights, talking to Rabin's widow, politicos, and artists.” – EmanuelLevy.Com Apr 29, 2021 Full Review Olympia Part One: Festival of the Nations (1938) 89% 4/5 “” – EmanuelLevy.Com Apr 9, 2021 Full Review 4/5 “” – EmanuelLevy.Com Apr 8, 2021 Full Review 2/5 “” – EmanuelLevy.Com Feb 21, 2021 Full Review Lauryn Hill: M온라인카지노추천 Unplugged No. 2.0 (2002) 2/5 “” – EmanuelLevy.Com Feb 5, 2021 Full Review The Devil Never Sleeps (1994) 80% “The Devil Never Sleeps is mildly entertaining, particularly in the sections that try to make sense of the radically contradictory accounts of the same events or issues given by different members of Oscar's family.” – Variety Dec 15, 2020 Full Review 4/5 “” – EmanuelLevy.Com Jul 17, 2020 Full Review Reckless (1984) 0% “The only new element in the film is its explicit sex scene, which is performed to a pulsating rock soundtrack.” – EmanuelLevy.Com May 31, 2020 Full Review A Change of Seasons (1980) 2/5 “” – EmanuelLevy.Com May 27, 2020 Full Review Gay USA (1977) “Bressan's montage presents a dialectical opposition of sound and image, giving the work a spirited tone of debate.” – EmanuelLevy.Com May 20, 2020 Full Review 3/5 “” – EmanuelLevy.Com Oct 26, 2019 Full Review Working Girls (1986) 92% B+ “Contesting Hollywood stereotypical portrait of prostitutes, Borden's semi-docu feature shows them to be clean, intelligent and in control of their career, often doing it for the good pay and flexible hours.” – EmanuelLevy.Com Aug 27, 2019 Full Review 4/5 “” – EmanuelLevy.Com Mar 27, 2019 Full Review Don Juan DeMarco (1995) 72% “The film's greatest asset is its glorious acting, with special accolades to Brando, who here delivers yet another magnificent "comeback" performance.” – Variety Mar 4, 2019 Full Review Ghetto (2002) 81% 2/5 “” – EmanuelLevy.Com Jan 29, 2019 Full Review All the King's Horses (1935) B “Frank Tuttle's entertaining musical revolves around the ideas of similar looks, mistaken identities.” – EmanuelLevy.Com May 15, 2018 Full Review Lovers and Other Strangers (1970) 100% “” – EmanuelLevy.Com Jan 30, 2018 Full Review Chinese Roulette (1976) 83% B “Fassbinder's first international production is a bleak psychological melodrama in which the secrets of a married couple are exposed in truth-guessing game by their invalid child. The cast is headed by Anna Karina, Godard's muse in his early career.” – EmanuelLevy.Com Jul 6, 2015 Full Review A Beautiful Mind (2001) 74% “Despite problems of structure and tone, and some crucial omissions from Nash's actual life, A Beautiful Mind has emerged as one of the season's most enjoyable and popular films.” – Screen International Oct 21, 2014 Full Review Pearl Harbor (2001) 24% “As impressive as the physical verisimilitude is, it only accentuates the contrast with the banalities of a script that lacks any fully developed characters.” – Screen International May 28, 2014 Full Review The Scenic Route (1978) 63% 2/5 “” – EmanuelLevy.Com Jul 26, 2013 Full Review
