The Phenix City Story (1955) 100% “Despite the indifferent print on view, it still shines with ferocious, exhilarating fervour. ” – Observer (UK) Apr 23, 2025 Full Review City on Fire (1979) “A damply spluttering disaster movie.” – Observer (UK) Apr 23, 2025 Full Review The Final Countdown (1980) 52% “A silly film, if ever I saw one.” – Observer (UK) Apr 23, 2025 Full Review Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980) 93% “One problem is that Irvin Kershner, taking over as director from George Lucas, has slowed down the comic-strip pace of Star Wars in order to develop -- what? Ay, there's the rub.” – Observer (UK) Apr 23, 2025 Full Review The Great Waldo Pepper (1975) 61% “One can't really complain, as one could in Butch Cassidy, that serious perspectives are opened up only to be ignored; nor has none to mutter, as with The Sting, that the absence of any real content at all had to be papered over by decorative exotica.” – Monthly Film Bulletin Mar 3, 2025 Full Review One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975) 93% “About midway through the film, two things happen, transforming a facile tract about the repressive society into an honest polemic.” – Monthly Film Bulletin Feb 25, 2025 Full Review Jaws (1975) 97% “Though it hardly merits its meteoric rise to the status of No. 1 box-office attraction of all time, Jaws is a perfectly acceptable, and sometimes genuinely exciting, entry in the disaster stakes.” – Monthly Film Bulletin Jul 2, 2024 Full Review The Mad Miss Manton (1938) 84% “The whodunit tangles tend to overstay their welcome, but Nick Musuraca's dark-toned camerawork leavens the screwball comedy with genuine menace; and Philip G Epstein's dialogue provides a witty undertow of fun poked at the class war.” – Time Out Apr 17, 2024 Full Review Spaceballs (1987) 52% “The pity of it is that either half-obscured beneath the thick debris of waste matter or half-buried by Brooks’ seeming inability to pace his gags properly, there are some genuine inspirations.” – Monthly Film Bulletin Apr 3, 2024 Full Review Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore (1974) 92% “Juggling the moods of Robert Getchell’s script with the brilliance of Godard in his prime, Scorsese flips scenes over to reveal the other side of the coin, then balances them on edge with both sides on view.” – Sight & Sound Oct 12, 2023 Full Review The Color Purple (1985) 73% “It is really Whoopi Goldberg’s truly remarkable performance which carries the film.” – Monthly Film Bulletin May 30, 2023 Full Review Reflections (1984) 60% “It turns into a devastatingly precise dissection of the academic mind, a comedy of manners that isn't so much funny as jarringly caustic in its revelation of human inadequacy. ” – Observer (UK) May 12, 2023 Full Review The South (1983) 100% “A lovely little film of amazing delicacy. ” – Observer (UK) May 12, 2023 Full Review Yentl (1983) 69% “Interminably protracted, not noticeably directed, weighed down by sentimental guff about kindly "poppa" who encouraged her ambitions, the soggy mess is made tolerable only by sprightly moments in Streisand's own performance. ” – Observer (UK) May 12, 2023 Full Review Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) 94% “Children may well enjoy its simple-mindedness, untroubled by the fact that it looks so shoddy and so uninventive; in which case the calculated violence seems miscalculatedly excessive.” – Observer (UK) May 2, 2023 Full Review Celine and Julie Go Boating (1974) 80% “A delight for every one of its 192 minutes.” – Observer Mar 2, 2023 Full Review Visions of Eight (1973) 54% “Visions of Eight has gambled on quantity as a safeguard to quality by letting eight directors loose on Munich, each doing his own thing. The idea is sound, fhe result distinctly fragile.” – Observer (UK) Jun 14, 2022 Full Review Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid (1973) 59% “To my mind, Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid is Peckinpah's best film to date, packed for good measure with old friends and a welcome new one in Bob Dylan. ” – Observer (UK) Jun 14, 2022 Full Review Buck and the Preacher (1972) 84% “It is pleasant enough, but somehow -- despite excellent performances by Poitier (the intrepid wagonmaster) and Belafonte (a roguish preacher) -- it never quite clicks.” – Time Out May 26, 2022 Full Review Dont Look Back (1967) 91% “Despite an innate distrust of cinema-verite techniques, where those wobbling, prying cameras often tell more lies than truth, I find this a fascinating film, mainly because Dylan's personality continually bursts through its rather narrow limits.” – Observer (UK) May 9, 2022 Full Review The Sting (1973) 93% “The Sting is a charmer, no doubt about that.” – Sight & Sound Mar 7, 2022 Full Review In the Heat of the Night (1967) 95% “What really matters about the film is its feeling for the bizarre, ordinary detail of the little Southern town... Above all, this is a real cameraman's film, shot in bright, hard colours which glitter like jewels.” – Observer (UK) Feb 2, 2022 Full Review The Outside Man (1973) 40% “Perfect casting for Trintignant as a French hitman imported to America and efficiently executing his contract, only to discover that there appears to be a contract out on him.” – Time Out Apr 16, 2021 Full Review The Godfather (1972) 97% “[Coppola] has fashioned a fine, glossily packaged piece of computerised entertainment, never less than smooth and occasionally (the sequence with the Godfather menaced in an uncannily deserted hospital) almost brilliant.” – Observer (UK) Mar 29, 2021 Full Review Babes in Arms (1939) 90% “First of the Garland-Rooney musicals, clothing a tired plot with much charm, energy and, mercifully, no Busby Berkeley chorine patterns.” – Time Out Feb 12, 2021 Full Review
