Apocalypse Now (1979) 90% “More than any movie I've ever seen, Apocalypse Now lessens the distance between civilian and soldier. Simply put, it makes war on an audience, and this gives the film great power and great beauty.” – L.A. Weekly Sep 23, 2024 Full Review Alien (1979) 93% “Unencumbered by any metaphysical freight, Alien is free to whack us silly with belly-buzzing, neck-pulsing genius.” – L.A. Weekly Nov 16, 2023 Full Review Raging Bull (1980) 92% “The impacted hell of city life, the incessant noise and motion, seen and heard as it washes over and around one man, is bearable only because Scorsese makes it beautiful. Almost overbearingly beautiful, but not quite. ” – L.A. Weekly Oct 11, 2023 Full Review Alligator (1980) 87% “Full of knock-about wit and liveliness, Alligator is altogether a satisfying revival of what the form at its low-budget best used to be.” – L.A. Weekly Oct 7, 2023 Full Review 9 to 5 (1980) 69% “A good rowdy time. ” – L.A. Weekly Mar 3, 2023 Full Review Martin (1978) 90% “Some scenes are viley, flamboyantly frightening, others merely itchy with a sinister potential. ” – L.A. Weekly Sep 28, 2022 Full Review Kramer vs. Kramer (1979) 90% “Dustin Hoffman and Meryl Streep are two of the most exciting actors working in American movies. Unfortunately, here, they don't have a script that matches either their depth or range.” – L.A. Weekly Aug 5, 2022 Full Review Ordinary People (1980) 89% “The spirit that pervades the picture, the quality that touches nerves and draws blood, is the mothering one, or rather, its absence.” – L.A. Weekly Jul 13, 2022 Full Review Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980) 93% “Oh boy! Producers Gary Kurtz and George Lucas and director Irvin Kershner spent 20 trillion dollars to make me feel like a toy for two hours and I loved it.” – L.A. Weekly Jul 13, 2022 Full Review Tess (1979) 81% “Tess is neither Hardy nor Polanski. If Hardy had a quiet sense of proportion, Polanski has only a dry one. Eventually, Tess is both too muted and too long.” – L.A. Weekly Jun 17, 2022 Full Review Tron (1982) 74% “What's so special about effects that service the same illusion as cosmetics on a corpse? No matter how hard it tries to look like it, this picture has no life in it.” – L.A. Weekly Nov 10, 2021 Full Review The Sword and the Sorcerer (1982) 67% “God only knows how many millions of dollars got used in this miserable movie to get the least possible good out of them.” – L.A. Weekly Nov 10, 2021 Full Review The Thing (1982) 85% “The Thing is like The Howling, a showcase for fiber and latex and the products they produce, by and for people who need their nightmares to be completely comprehensible and completely unreal.” – L.A. Weekly Nov 10, 2021 Full Review Blade Runner (1982) 89% “One of the more imaginative and less realized movies of this or any year. Scott directs as if he were a doctor about to deliver some giant conception, and never once notices that this mountain of a movie is giving birth to little more than a mouse.” – L.A. Weekly Nov 10, 2021 Full Review The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas (1982) 50% “The music and the dancing are poor at best, and an embalmed kind of perfectionist's poor at that. Then there's director Collin Higgins. This guy's inability to create rhythm, in scenes as well as between them, could leach the life out of any script.” – L.A. Weekly Nov 10, 2021 Full Review Annie (1982) 49% “Sure, once or twice, when the kid had her mouth shut and wasn't making "Tomorrow" sound like a screeching threat, I even enjoyed her. It's not Aileen Quinn's fault that the music is so lousy and the sentiments are so corrupt.” – L.A. Weekly Nov 10, 2021 Full Review Napoleon (1927) 87% “As a sensory experience, there is simply no equal to Abel Gance's Napoléon. The intensity of its images and their rhythms take the breath away and exhilarate the body, touching places and hungers that are hard to name.” – L.A. Weekly Nov 10, 2021 Full Review An Officer and a Gentleman (1982) 79% “The story is exactly as hammy as my summary makes it sound, something of a throwback to those films from the '40s when it was the exception rather than the rule for the male lead not to like himself, and Gere is no John Garfield.” – L.A. Weekly Nov 10, 2021 Full Review The Secret of NIMH (1982) 93% “The disaffected Disney staffers who broke ranks to make this animated feature on their own have managed two things better than their mentors: motion and melodrama... But as for magic and mystery -- there is little of either.” – L.A. Weekly Nov 10, 2021 Full Review The Wiz (1978) 47% “All that money and all that talent, and nobody really knew what to do with it except the art director.” – L.A. Weekly Nov 5, 2021 Full Review Heaven Can Wait (1978) 86% “Not much meat here, but there are generous helpings of what we say we want: laughs, lovely ladies and cute men and a trouble or two made all better by any number of decent folks before the final frame.” – L.A. Weekly Nov 5, 2021 Full Review The Wicker Man (1973) 91% “This movie won't win any prizes for cinematography, and it never overcomes the problems of the miscast Christopher Lee or the priggish principal character, but it's one of the more thoughtful films you're likely to see this year.” – L.A. Weekly Nov 5, 2021 Full Review Testament (1983) 89% “Littman's direction and Jane Alexander's acting are good, too good to be wasted on this thin, sad, sentimental phantom of a film.” – L.A. Weekly May 10, 2021 Full Review The Blue Lagoon (1980) 12% “Yes, the cinematography by Nestor Alamendros leaves you breathless, but the content makes your kids the same old stupid.” – L.A. Weekly Jan 4, 2021 Full Review The Blues Brothers (1980) 71% “What's absolutely not funny is the way the music is used -- without warmth, perception, or honor. For people who have no respect for music -- or movies, for that matter.” – L.A. Weekly Dec 18, 2020 Full Review
