Dracula (1979) 64% EDIT “"Dracula" is a good try at giving the legend a classy and stylish interpretation through modern techniques.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Oct 21, 2025 Full Review Tron (1982) 60% EDIT “"Tron" is technically engaging but emotionally numbing.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Oct 3, 2025 Full Review Superman III (1983) 31% EDIT “The movie starts to get away from itself by running off in all directions. ” – Cincinnati Enquirer Jul 7, 2025 Full Review Superman II (1980) 88% EDIT “Our hero reveals his vulnerability and deep feelings, and for a while, he is even willing to risk losing his powers for love. That makes Superman seem human, appealing and all the more special.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Jun 25, 2025 Full Review Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983) 83% EDIT “"Jedi" verges on overkill but fortunately stops short just in the nick of time... Good going, George. You know when it's time to quit.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Apr 25, 2025 Full Review Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980) 93% EDIT “"The Empire" really doesn't end, but instead suspends itself in time... While this may be commercially shrewd from the standpoint of future chapters, it is personally frustrating to be left dangling. In fact, it also seems like a cheap trick.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Apr 24, 2025 Full Review Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977) 94% EDIT “The two hours virtually zoom by. Afterward, you really do feel as if you have been transported to another planet and another dimension. You've got to blink your eyes, get your feet back on the ground so you can get out of the theater OK. ” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Apr 22, 2025 Full Review Rancho Deluxe (1975) 62% EDIT “Director Frank Perry, previously of sound mind and films, should have stayed clear of this fiasco.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Mar 27, 2025 Full Review Apocalypse Now (1979) 91% EDIT “Although Apocalypse Now is a masterpiece in terms of its brilliant technical effects, it is vague in its actual content. Coppola has created a vision that clobbers his audience unrelentingly with the grotesqueness of war. But his epic has a hollow center.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Sep 22, 2024 Full Review Moonraker (1979) 59% EDIT “The predictability of Moonraker is part of the pleasure. Like most Bond adventures, Moonraker is so overstated that it is camp, and so preposterous that it's fun.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Dec 30, 2017 Full Review
