2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) 90% EDIT “To this viewer, the depiction of man's first expedition to Jupiter was an awe-inspiring trip, a mindstretching achievement in special effects and cinematography that captured the imagination as no motion picture has in memory.” – Fresno Bee Apr 9, 2025 Full Review Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid (1973) 60% EDIT “What distinguishes this, Peckinpah’s first Western film in four years, is the director’s unfailing gift for detail and perhaps the finest film performance by James Coburn.” – Fresno Bee Jun 14, 2022 Full Review Midnight Cowboy (1969) 89% EDIT “It is a realistic horror tale of our time dramatizing the isolation of modern man, lightened by humor that is sometimes sick and sometimes farcical.” – Fresno Bee Mar 11, 2022 Full Review Oliver! (1968) 90% EDIT “The plot treatment here is more mischievous than melodramatic, more Disney than Dickens; the emphasis instead is on the sweep of spectacle, the sound of music, and achievement of the feeling and appearance of the period.” – Fresno Bee Mar 2, 2022 Full Review Lawrence of Arabia (1962) 93% EDIT “he film touches all the bases in blood and thunder, photographs the Arabian desert in all its limitless desolation and yet fails somehow to shed much insight into the legend that was Lawrence.” – Fresno Bee Apr 20, 2021 Full Review The French Connection (1971) 97% EDIT “Director William Friedkin, whose previous efforts were The The Night Raided Minsky's and The Boys in the Band proves expert at keeping the customers on the edge of their seats by automating comedic moments with moments of violence.” – Fresno Bee Apr 15, 2021 Full Review The Godfather (1972) 97% EDIT “One of the beauties of the film is the balanced characterizations. Supercool Al Pacino is likewise chillingly believable, and so are several other gangsters, most of them actors whose names are unfamiliar.” – Fresno Bee Mar 29, 2021 Full Review
