Annie Hall (1977) 97% “Annie Hall is a wonderful riposte to the question, "can you translate your own life into a creative medium and not bore the hell out of everybody?"” – Berkeley Barb Aug 26, 2022 Full Review Goin' South (1978) 69% “A lovingly produced parody of all shoot-em-ups, of tight-lipped Western men and camisoled, fluttery Western women.” – Berkeley Barb May 13, 2021 Full Review Autumn Sonata (1978) 85% “Bergman's faith in his characters' capabilities is a calming finish to an otherwise searing portrait.” – Berkeley Barb May 13, 2021 Full Review Looking for Mr. Goodbar (1977) 61% “[Keaton's] vulnerability, cynically expressive eyebrows, constantly reassessing eyes, give Looking for Mr. Goodbar an immediacy it doesn't deserve.” – Berkeley Barb May 12, 2021 Full Review Bound for Glory (1976) 81% “The cinematographer is Haskell Wexler, and his scenes are still paintings, glowing at the edges, awash in muted and glowing light. Every scene looks hand-tinted, like old postcards. I wish they'd shot the movie in black and white.” – Berkeley Barb May 12, 2021 Full Review Girlfriends (1978) 93% “Girlfriends is a movie I really wanted to like.” – Berkeley Barb May 12, 2021 Full Review Wives (1975) “The creators of Wives were presumably far more interested in making specific points than in creating characters, yet the actresses have such distinct personalities that characters emerge nevertheless.” – Berkeley Barb May 12, 2021 Full Review Heaven Can Wait (1978) 86% “Despite its superficialities and plot confusions, Heaven Can Wait is an interesting movie to watch, mainly because of the presence of Julie Christie.” – Berkeley Barb May 12, 2021 Full Review Valentino (1977) 46% “Russell fails to offer any explanation for the ambiguous person that was Valentino. The director instead blurs any possible insight through continued excesses of crowds, hysterical women and assorted grotesqueries.” – Berkeley Barb May 12, 2021 Full Review Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977) 94% “As a visual cartoon, Star Wars is resolutely successful, phenomenal in its impact; as an emotional adventure, Star Wars is only bubblegum entertainment, tripping us back into a black and white world where good and evil can fight it out with ray guns.” – Berkeley Barb May 12, 2021 Full Review I Never Promised You a Rose Garden (1977) 40% “Rose Garden falls into the same trap as did Cuckoo's Nest, cashing in on the easy humor and inherently intense drama of mental illness, while slickly bypassing the corrosive aftereffects of its force.” – Berkeley Barb May 12, 2021 Full Review Cruising (1980) 50% “Cruising is rife with laughable loopholes.” – Berkeley Barb Feb 3, 2021 Full Review Blue Collar (1978) 96% “That a film as contradictory and limited as Blue Collar is simultaneously powerful is to the credit of its leading actors, Richard Pryor, Harvey Keitel and Yaphet Kotto and to Jack Nitzsche's driving score.” – Berkeley Barb Feb 3, 2021 Full Review The Deer Hunter (1978) 86% “The Deer Hunter is a movie of bad guys and good guys, and the bad guys are not us.” – Berkeley Barb Jan 11, 2021 Full Review The Warriors (1979) 88% “The Warriors is no more than a schlocky exploitation movie.” – Berkeley Barb Jan 11, 2021 Full Review The Great Train Robbery (1978) 78% “The Great Train Robbery is a fluffy piece of entertainment, highlighted by Geoffrey Unsworth's moody cinematography of Victorian interiors, in all their musty splendor.” – Berkeley Barb Jan 11, 2021 Full Review Movie Movie (1978) “It's a real pleasure to see a movie that I takes on all the cliches, from attractively fatal diseases through triumphant curtain calls, and plays with them.” – Berkeley Barb Dec 28, 2020 Full Review King of the Gypsies (1978) 63% “It's the kind of movie where the blood spatters out in big slowmotion gobs when the bad guy gets his. It's also a relief when the credits finally roll by.” – Berkeley Barb Dec 28, 2020 Full Review Moment by Moment (1978) 22% “Neither interesting nor innovative.” – Berkeley Barb Dec 28, 2020 Full Review Slow Dancing in the Big City (1978) “Grant finds the heights of romance in slum living, investigative reporting and stricken ballerinas. Her movie's title, poetic in the newspaper ads, is just the first glob in a load of goo.” – Berkeley Barb Dec 28, 2020 Full Review
