Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980) 93% “"Empire" quickly suggests that Lucas has a vision that will make him the storyteller of the decade, an absolute and astounding inventor of circumstances and surroundings.” – Honolulu Advertiser Apr 23, 2025 Full Review Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977) 94% “A cinematic toy, a blissful concoction of wit and imagination, the brainchild of George Lucas of American Graffiti fame. It quickly is becoming everybody's movie of the year -- and add me to the list. But rightfully so: It is an out of this world delight.” – Honolulu Advertiser Apr 23, 2025 Full Review 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) 90% “It may seem ponderously pretentious to assume that man will be up, up and away like that, but Kubrick's foreplay is enriching and extraordinarily perceptive, if nothing else. Indeed, he tells it like it possibly will be -- with authority.” – Honolulu Advertiser Apr 9, 2025 Full Review Escape to Witch Mountain (1975) 86% “Whimsy is what makes all of this nonsense work, and director John Hough has fashioned a yarn that misses no tricks.” – Honolulu Star-Advertiser Mar 19, 2025 Full Review The Prisoner of Second Avenue (1975) 47% “Melvin Frank's direction is sure and steady, letting Simon's comedy flow from the special performers assembled here.” – Honolulu Star-Advertiser Mar 7, 2025 Full Review The Great Waldo Pepper (1975) 61% “Because the aerial sequences are truly exciting, it's worth a visit to "Waldo Pepper"” – Honolulu Star-Advertiser Mar 3, 2025 Full Review Nashville (1975) 89% “Nashville is an eye-opener. A think piece. A mind-boggler. A smashville.” – Honolulu Advertiser Feb 27, 2025 Full Review Barry Lyndon (1975) 78% “It is Kubrickian from the start, with a style and texture and a grandiose flavor all of its own. It defies categorizing; it dazzles. But it also bores. It is, surely, a film worth your time -- but only if you have the patience.” – Honolulu Advertiser Feb 25, 2025 Full Review The Song Remains the Same (1976) 39% “The on-stage performance, shot at Madison Square Garden in New York, is explosive and emotive, chronicling the sweaty involvement of a two-hour wing-ding before thousands of loyal supporters.” – Honolulu Advertiser Feb 19, 2025 Full Review Barbarella (1968) 65% “Barbarella... is so far out, it's in -- camp art, if you will. ” – Honolulu Advertiser Feb 12, 2025 Full Review Shampoo (1975) 75% “Beatty's cache of performers is the reason the film works: Everyone's marvelous. ” – Honolulu Advertiser Feb 10, 2025 Full Review The Conversation (1974) 93% “[The Conversation] succeeds on three fascinating levels -- as statement, as story, as topical experience. ” – Honolulu Advertiser Sep 24, 2024 Full Review Apocalypse Now (1979) 90% “As entertainment, "Apocalypse" is spectacular and seductive, a fictional travelogue through the nightmares of warfare, with threads of reality blended with fantasy.” – Honolulu Advertiser Sep 23, 2024 Full Review Jaws (1975) 97% “In directing Jaws, 27-year-old Steven Spielberg quickly thrusts himself into the front of the pack of skillful moviemakers. He attempts to balance the horror with humor, surprising us with terror at every other turn. ” – Honolulu Advertiser Jul 2, 2024 Full Review Planet of the Apes (1968) 86% “I can believe that man is less superior than monkey, but this joke is carried too far and too long.” – Honolulu Advertiser May 1, 2024 Full Review Chinatown (1974) 98% “It is toned and polished to emulate the Thirties Detective Yarn. And yes, it's worth a visit. But pass the word -- don't spill the beans.” – Honolulu Advertiser Mar 8, 2024 Full Review Grease (1978) 66% “It is harmless, humorous and haunting in its own way. And again, John Travolta is the magnet. The magic. The marvel. ” – Honolulu Advertiser Feb 8, 2024 Full Review Little Big Man (1970) 91% “Little Big Man is my choice for the best-of-the-year honors. No film is perfect; this one damn nearly makes it. ” – Honolulu Advertiser Nov 10, 2023 Full Review Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore (1974) 92% “It's Burstyn's flair for heart-tugging warmth, however, that makes the ordinary extraordinary... She makes us care, because she really cares; she makes us cringe, because she really cringes; above all, she makes us respond, because she really responds.” – Honolulu Advertiser Oct 12, 2023 Full Review Taxi Driver (1976) 89% “This is a film of substance and stamina, intimate yet distant, precise yet ambiguous, beautiful yet ugly, and Scorsese has found the perfect actor to play the cabbie. I cannot think of anyone better than De Niro to depict this strange creature.” – Honolulu Advertiser Oct 6, 2023 Full Review The Exorcist (1973) 78% “If you have to see one film this year, it may as well be The Exorcist, William Peter Blatty's bizarre story about a demon who takes over a girl's soul. It's a gasp of a film. ” – Honolulu Advertiser Sep 27, 2023 Full Review Girlfriends (1978) 93% “Girlfriends is easily the year's most sensitive, most profound, most moving in its handling of the female theme. It is funny and sad, cloying yet comforting -- and sentimental without ever being saccharine.” – Honolulu Advertiser May 18, 2023 Full Review Fiddler on the Roof (1971) 81% “Jewison's basic problem is typical of Hollywood projects gone astray: rather than adhere to a simple story (which "Fiddler" is), he has opted to fiddle around with bigness. Wide screen. Vast vistas. Camera trickery. Hyped-up music. ” – Honolulu Advertiser May 16, 2023 Full Review Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) 94% “"Raiders" is masterful in its peak-and-valley pacing, with exposition crisply placed within action. It is, without question, the year's most satisfying entertainment. ” – Honolulu Advertiser May 4, 2023 Full Review Phantom of the Paradise (1974) 82% “The film exudes a lot of energy, a lot of flash, a lot of invention, a lot of promise. While it is rough around the edges, its core is substantial and firm.” – Honolulu Advertiser Mar 17, 2023 Full Review
