Starman (1984) 84% 3.5/4 “What makes "Starman" works so well is the relationship between Jeff Bridges and Karen Allen.” – Chicago Tribune May 13, 2025 Full Review Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983) 83% 4/4 “Return of the Jedi is a childlike delight. It's the best video game around. And for the professional moviegoers, it is particularly enjoyable to watch every facet of filmmaking at its best.” – Chicago Tribune Apr 25, 2025 Full Review Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980) 93% 3.5/4 “The appeal of visiting Oz is that it is a magical place over the rainbow. The appeal of Star Wars and, now, The Empire Strikes Back, is that it also takes us to a magical place -- the childhood of our mind.” – Chicago Tribune Apr 23, 2025 Full Review Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977) 94% 3.5/4 “Not a great movie in the sense that it describes the human condition. It simply is a fun picture that will appeal to those who enjoy Buck Rogers-style adventures. What places it a sizable cut above the routine is its spectacular visual effects.” – Chicago Tribune Apr 23, 2025 Full Review Brannigan (1975) 48% 3/4 “If you enjoy Wayne's he-man antics, then "Brannigan" is your kind of flick. It's as simple as that.” – Chicago Tribune Apr 11, 2025 Full Review Supervixens (1975) 49% 1/4 “Meyer has lost the sense of humor that occasionally made his films enjoyable. The humor has been replaced with repulsive amounts of violence.” – Chicago Tribune Apr 10, 2025 Full Review Sheba, Baby (1975) 29% 1/4 “The sound track occasionally misses lips, the dialog always is stilted, and the fight scenes look as though they've been choreographed at half speed.” – Chicago Tribune Apr 9, 2025 Full Review Capone (1975) 28% 1.5/4 “The violence in "Capone" is more tedious than excessive. ” – Chicago Tribune Apr 8, 2025 Full Review Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975) 92% 2.5/4 “For my money, I wasn't particularly knocked out by Monty Python and the Holy Grail. For me, it contained about 10 very funny moments and 70 minutes of silence... I guess I prefer Monty Python in chunks, in its original, television revue format.” – Chicago Tribune Apr 1, 2025 Full Review At Long Last Love (1975) 23% 2/4 “White is nice, but virtually every set in "At Long Last Love" looks as if it were hit by an industrial size spray gun. The painted backgrounds clash with a cast coated with yards of silk in a solid attempt at glamor.” – Chicago Tribune Mar 25, 2025 Full Review Escape to Witch Mountain (1975) 86% 3/4 “Compared to other recent Disney live-action features, "Witch Mountain" is something special. Only rarely is it juvenile.” – Chicago Tribune Mar 19, 2025 Full Review Tommy (1975) 71% 2.4/4 “The story is served up chunk-style like the record, so it's a case of more individual scenes failing than working. The film has no cinematic flow.” – Chicago Tribune Mar 18, 2025 Full Review Report to the Commissioner (1975) 55% 2.5/4 “Michael Moriarity... simply can't portray a person having mental anguish.” – Chicago Tribune Mar 12, 2025 Full Review My Pleasure Is My Business (1974) 0.5/4 “The movie is a tepid, embarrassing, unfunny, asexual attempt to cash in on the reputation of Hollander.” – Chicago Tribune Mar 11, 2025 Full Review Mr. Ricco (1975) 25% 1.5/4 “Robert Hoban's screenplay plays fast and loose with credibility, relying on the audience's knee-jerk reaction to police corruption to tie up the loose ends.” – Chicago Tribune Mar 7, 2025 Full Review The Prisoner of Second Avenue (1975) 48% 1.5/4 “Neil Simon's rapid-fire gag plays simply don't translate well into film.” – Chicago Tribune Mar 7, 2025 Full Review The Great Waldo Pepper (1975) 61% 2.5/4 “As for the picture's attempt for nostalgia and for a portrait of a romantic hero, "Waldo Pepper" is pretty much of a bust.” – Chicago Tribune Mar 3, 2025 Full Review Nashville (1975) 89% 4/4 “It is a special motion picture, its excellence has a lot to say about other films, and it does deserve your attention. But not your reverence. Whatever else it is, Nashville also happens to be a very funny movie.” – Chicago Tribune Feb 27, 2025 Full Review The Yakuza (1974) 47% 3/4 “"The Yakuza" offers stylish sword-fighting sequences.” – Chicago Tribune Feb 26, 2025 Full Review Barry Lyndon (1975) 78% 3.5/4 “I found [it] to be quite obvious about its intentions and thoroughly successful in achieving them. Kubrick has taken a novel about social class and has turned it into an utterly comfortable story that conveys the stunning emptiness of upper-class life.” – Chicago Tribune Feb 25, 2025 Full Review The Breakfast Club (1985) 87% 3.5/4 “The Breakfast Club is a breath of cinematic fresh air, taking on a very real problem and offering, in a dramatic way, a possible solution.” – Chicago Tribune Feb 14, 2025 Full Review Hercules (1997) 83% 2/4 “The biggest surprise is how soft and cheap the animation looks. This Hercules doesn't look like a Disney film. ” – Chicago Tribune Dec 18, 2024 Full Review Aladdin (1992) 96% 3.5/4 “A better title for the latest Disney animated musical would be "Genie," because Robin Williams steals the show.” – Chicago Tribune Dec 16, 2024 Full Review The Little Mermaid (1989) 92% 3.5/4 “While the story won't win any prizes from the women's liberation movement, the animation is so full and colorful and the songs so beguiling that this is a case where someone made one like they used to. ” – Chicago Tribune Dec 13, 2024 Full Review The Conversation (1974) 94% 4/4 “The story is well told, and it is tricky. But as good as it is, the narrative takes a back seat to Hackman's superior performance and to the film's disturbingly somber mood.” – Chicago Tribune Sep 24, 2024 Full Review
