The Bingo Long Traveling All-Stars and Motor Kings (1976) 87% EDIT “Under the eye of first-time director John Badham, Bingo Long emerges as an exceptionally well-made picture full of period atmosphere that is nicely captured by Bill Butler's photography.” – United Press International Apr 11, 2024 Full Review Dog Day Afternoon (1975) 96% EDIT “An exceptionally fine film — outrageously funny and deeply moving...” – United Press International Apr 6, 2024 Full Review Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977) 91% EDIT “If it doesn't quite match "2001" for cerebral elegance, it nevertheless is far grander than Spielberg's previous movie, Jaws, and vastly more absorbing than Star Wars.” – United Press International Apr 3, 2024 Full Review The Duellists (1977) 74% EDIT “The year has already begun and already there is a candidate for the Barry Lyndon award for the year's most exquisitely beautiful and excruciatingly boring film of 1978.” – United Press International Nov 20, 2023 Full Review Taxi Driver (1976) 89% EDIT “Both [Dog Day Afternoon and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest] let the audience in, however slightly, on their special madness. De Niro no doubt could have done the same if Scorsese had meant to illuminate the character instead of just scaring us with it. ” – United Press International Oct 6, 2023 Full Review The Tenant (1976) 85% EDIT “If only Polanski, who collaborated with Gerard Brach on the script, had not let this parable on paranoia become so predictable and preposterous. Well before the end, The Tenant succumbs to meaningless and therefore boring hokum.” – United Press International Aug 3, 2022 Full Review Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975) 92% EDIT “Move over, Woody Allen and Mel Brooks. The six-man comedy team responsible for the imported British TV series, Monty Pythons Flying Circus, now offers its first original movie, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, and it is howlingly funny.” – United Press International Aug 3, 2022 Full Review The Man Who Would Be King (1975) 97% EDIT “Huston finally has realized his ambition with the pretty much perfect teaming of Sean Connery and Michael Caine. Christopher Plummer is excellent as Kipling himself and it's a bloody good show.” – United Press International Aug 3, 2022 Full Review Silent Movie (1976) 79% EDIT “A marvelously silly, good-natured comedy.” – United Press International Aug 3, 2022 Full Review A Different Story (1978) 38% EDIT “This brisk, off-center comedy could be the sleeper of the year.” – United Press International Aug 2, 2022 Full Review Small Change (1976) 90% EDIT “A modest little picture about children that is warmly affectionate and charming.” – United Press International Aug 6, 2021 Full Review Lifeguard (1976) 53% EDIT “Nothing much happens on the beach, where the rescues seem routine. Not much happens anywhere.” – United Press International Aug 5, 2021 Full Review Semi-Tough (1977) 83% EDIT “Reynolds, Kristofferson and Clayburgh all perform to standard but somehow never quite connect.” – United Press International Aug 5, 2021 Full Review Mr. Klein (1976) 100% EDIT “This is Delon's picture all the way and he is superb.” – United Press International Aug 5, 2021 Full Review Why Does Herr R. Run Amok? (1970) 92% EDIT “The movie is almost devoid of action and the characters are so long-winded and boring, one wonders if the cast knew the camera was running.” – United Press International Aug 5, 2021 Full Review The Goodbye Girl (1977) 77% EDIT “The Goodbye Girl, alas, embraces contrivance as if it were the long lost son of The Out of Towners.” – United Press International Aug 5, 2021 Full Review Telefon (1977) 44% EDIT “Director Don Siegel is never too serious about this cute romantic thriller that eventually proves to be very funny.” – United Press International Aug 5, 2021 Full Review Another Man, Another Chance (1977) 57% EDIT “James Caan and Genevieve Bujold are perfectly all right as the fated lovers of Another Man, Another Chance, but the movie is so wrong it hardly matters.” – United Press International Aug 5, 2021 Full Review Smokey and the Bandit (1977) 72% EDIT “The Burt Reynolds formula -- the good ol' boy armed only with a quick quip and boyish grin -- goes afoul in Smokey and the Bandit despite the engaging presence of Sally Field.” – United Press International Aug 4, 2021 Full Review Nashville (1975) 89% EDIT “Robert Altman's huge, richly detailed and stunning Nashville is a landmark, an utterly original movie masterpiece.” – United Press International Aug 4, 2021 Full Review Rocky (1976) 93% EDIT “Rocky eschews the cliche knockoutm triumphantly winning on points.” – United Press International Aug 4, 2021 Full Review All the President's Men (1976) 94% EDIT “Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman combine precisely the right amounts of awe and grit as Washington Post reporters Woodward and Bernstein. And they are supported by an enormous and outstanding cast.” – United Press International Aug 4, 2021 Full Review The River Niger (1976) EDIT “It is a disappointment, especially considering its stars.” – United Press International Aug 4, 2021 Full Review W.C. Fields and Me (1976) 67% EDIT “Rod Steiger delivers a fine performance as Fields, capturing his acerbic humor and crankiness while fleshing out the private man as a victim of his own eccentricities and weaknesses.” – United Press International Aug 4, 2021 Full Review General Idi Amin Dada (1974) 80% EDIT “One comes away wishing that in 90 minutes it somehow had been able to tell a great deal more about the general and why 10 million Ugandans have endured him this long.” – United Press International Aug 4, 2021 Full Review
