Only Yesterday (1933) 100% EDIT “It's a darned good picture, but it's not a knockout, as Back Street was.” – Miami Herald Apr 23, 2024 Full Review State Fair (1933) 100% EDIT “Not comical but amusing, not exciting but refreshing, not packed with high-tension drama but loaded with human interest, State Fair as a homely exposition of simple lives and their reactions to the trivial stimuli of their rural environment. ” – Miami Herald Nov 10, 2023 Full Review The Bitter Tea of General Yen (1933) 86% EDIT “It has the courage to scorn toadyism to the popular fallacy that East and West shall always be twain.” – Miami Herald Apr 24, 2023 Full Review The Dark Angel (1935) 94% EDIT “Genuinely sincere picture in all departments. ” – Miami Herald Mar 10, 2023 Full Review King Kong (1933) 97% EDIT “It's an absurd nightmarish idea, but the excellent production, fashioned by Merian C. Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack, makes it an absorbing spectacle, even though the fantastic unreality prevents your feelings from becoming involved. ” – Miami Herald Nov 10, 2022 Full Review The Life of Emile Zola (1937) 92% EDIT “This seems more than a motion picture, however magnificent its technical artistry. It is a living document of a great soul, with all his petty human foibles, and the period of French politics and social life on which he impinged. ” – Miami Herald Aug 3, 2022 Full Review Mutiny on the Bounty (1935) 96% EDIT “Such careful research and creative drama deserve a fine visualization -- and Metro’s production is more than worthy. Indeed, the picture will likely win one or more of the Academy’s awards this year.” – Miami Herald Jul 27, 2022 Full Review The Great Ziegfeld (1936) 72% EDIT “It's a stunner -- three hours of constant amusement, stupendous spectacle, and fascinating personalities.” – Miami Herald Dec 1, 2021 Full Review Modern Times (1936) 98% EDIT “A master pantomimic, [Chaplin] is absolutely right in his fight to preserve some bit of this moribund art of significant gesture. That his genius for fun is undimmed is proved by the continual laughter and merry mod of the audience.” – Miami Herald May 6, 2021 Full Review It Happened One Night (1934) 98% EDIT “Claudette Colbert is a particularly happy foil for Gable. They ought to be teamed up again.” – Miami Herald Mar 31, 2021 Full Review Fox Movietone Follies of 1929 (1929) 86% EDIT “Sure, it's a good entertainment. I'm only disappointed It wasn't better.” – Miami Herald Mar 6, 2021 Full Review Imitation of Life (1934) 88% EDIT “We should hand It to Universal for making even a timid attempt to get away from the cut and dried formulae of cinema drama. It evidences a belief that the American movie public is maturing in its tastes and tolerance.” – Miami Herald Jan 30, 2021 Full Review Flaming Youth (1923) 91% EDIT “Tense drama, charming romance sprightly comedy on a background of "flapperlsm" and "jazz." This is the picture which is painted by Flaming Youth, a startling First National photodrama.” – Miami Herald Dec 30, 2020 Full Review A Night at the Opera (1935) 97% EDIT “Every minute of the picture offers something new to laugh at. It's the best and most insane of their releases since they started their mad flight across the cinema heavens.” – Miami Herald Nov 20, 2020 Full Review Maedchen in Uniform (1931) 100% EDIT “This all-women film from Germany is more than curiosity and a worthy artistic achievement. It is a cinema phenomenon in that its simple, almost plotless story can generate so much emotional warmth.” – Miami Herald Nov 18, 2020 Full Review
