Cool Hand Luke (1967) 100% EDIT “Well written by Pearce and Pierson and acted by a most talented ensemble of performers, Luke succeeds as both a highly humorous and deeply dramatic study of the immolation of human spirit in captivity and as an allegory.” – The Hollywood Reporter Dec 15, 2020 Full Review The Dirty Dozen (1967) 82% EDIT “The hours fly by, the action is well directed and the laughs are numerous. But relevant connective tissue between the episodes seems to be missing.” – The Hollywood Reporter Jul 18, 2020 Full Review EDIT “Asakazu Nakai photographed it in fluid and poetic black and white and there is a rich but not at all overpowering score by Masaru Sato.” – Los Angeles Free Press Jan 14, 2020 Full Review Where's Poppa? (1970) 82% EDIT “Perhaps Carl Reiner, who directed this latrine etching, hoped to show in some black comedy fashion the tragedy of the aged?” – Los Angeles Free Press Jan 13, 2020 Full Review Husbands (1970) 68% EDIT “As a whole, the film is sabotaged by self-indulgence, denied discipline, without selection or purpose. maintained at a shrill peak until, like the lampshade buffoon at that drunken party, it simply exhausts itself, falls asleep in mid-sentence.” – Los Angeles Free Press Jan 13, 2020 Full Review Alex in Wonderland (1970) EDIT “[Paul] Mazursky does himself the disservice of letting us believe that there is nothing more distinctive within him than plastic storefronts and bubblegum philosophies.” – Los Angeles Free Press Jan 13, 2020 Full Review There Was a Crooked Man (1970) 82% EDIT “Technically, the film is near perfect, reminding us how good a Hollywood programmer can be, even at an inflated cost of seven million dollars.” – Los Angeles Free Press Jan 13, 2020 Full Review Puzzle of a Downfall Child (1970) EDIT “While the debut directorial effort of former fashion photographer Jerry Schatzberg often impresses in its own right, no amount of now dated technical inflation can disguise the film's basic anemia or a plot which is still tattered and threadbare.” – Los Angeles Free Press Jan 13, 2020 Full Review Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion (1970) 100% EDIT “"Investigation" is out of the "Z" school, finishing a bit further down the list in standing, but a proud representative of its class.” – Los Angeles Free Press Jan 13, 2020 Full Review Joe Cocker: Mad Dogs & Englishmen (1971) EDIT “Except as a record of a phenomenal moment in time, an extraordinary traveling commune on tour, its cinematic means are derivative and routinized. But it compels.” – Los Angeles Free Press Jan 11, 2020 Full Review Wanda (1970) 92% EDIT “Miss Loden has promise, if not flair, as a director and she is an extraordinary actress... The fact is Miss Loden has given us less content and exposition than a short story.” – Los Angeles Free Press Jan 11, 2020 Full Review Waterloo (1970) 27% EDIT “Waterloo is a spectacle which constantly pays off its panoramas in close-ups... But it gives us only a surface personality of the key military strategists, bits of clever dialogue.” – Los Angeles Free Press Jan 11, 2020 Full Review Percy (1971) EDIT “British actors maintain a high standard of performance even when few demands are made of them.” – Los Angeles Free Press Jan 10, 2020 Full Review Say Hello to Yesterday (1971) EDIT “This is not Alvin Rakoffs feature directorial debut, but his command of the film language and of his performances is still remarkable for its time.” – Los Angeles Free Press Jan 10, 2020 Full Review Villain (1971) 67% EDIT “It is the sort of film one can recommend without qualification as an interestingly made and satisfactory entertainment should it be encountered on the bottom half of a double bill in a subsequent neighborhood run.” – Los Angeles Free Press Jan 10, 2020 Full Review The Grissom Gang (1971) 46% EDIT “It is moving, but not enough, not nearly enough to excuse the film or our enjoyment of the wanton slaughter to which the film has made us a participant.” – Los Angeles Free Press Jan 10, 2020 Full Review Who Is Harry Kellerman and Why Is He Saying Those Terrible Things About Me? (1971) 40% EDIT “Thematically, it belongs in the Ffties. Cinematically, it thrashes about in a 1965 culture lag.” – Los Angeles Free Press Jan 10, 2020 Full Review Dusty and Sweets McGee (1971) EDIT “Shallow, frivolous and nearly pointless.” – Los Angeles Free Press Jan 10, 2020 Full Review The Hellstrom Chronicle (1971) 75% EDIT “If even half of the science-fact presented in the David L. Wolper production, The Hellstrom Chronicle, is proven true, it could be the most important film you will ever see, while you have the chance.” – Los Angeles Free Press Jan 10, 2020 Full Review Two-Lane Blacktop (1971) 92% EDIT “Two-Lane provides a script to match [Oates] and he gives what is simply one of the year's most memorable performances.” – Los Angeles Free Press Jan 10, 2020 Full Review The Crook (1970) EDIT “Great fun.” – Los Angeles Free Press Jan 9, 2020 Full Review Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (1971) 90% EDIT “The film makes exceptionally shrewd use of references children can understand and appreciate.” – Los Angeles Free Press Jan 9, 2020 Full Review Billy Jack (1971) 65% EDIT “The film works in spite of itself, in primitive fashion and because its locale, its odd mixture of pros and real local nonprofessional talents” – Los Angeles Free Press Jan 9, 2020 Full Review Doc (1971) 50% EDIT “There is a good deal of talk about extensive research, but it looks like the same old cabbage, simply served up to look a bit more unsavory.” – Los Angeles Free Press Jan 9, 2020 Full Review EDIT “Ultimately, Jud fails because it does not deal with the inherent moral, psychological or social problems of the Viet vet, but settles for peculiar melodramatic problems from the kinkier side-streets of the Sunset Strip.” – Los Angeles Free Press Jan 9, 2020 Full Review
