Colorado Territory (1949) EDIT “Colorado Territory is closer to the melancholy romantic ballad on an outlaw couple than High Sierra is, but it is also richer in social ironies.” – Parallax View Jun 23, 2015 Full Review Only Angels Have Wings (1939) 100% EDIT “Only Angels Have Wings is one of Hawks's "male adventurer" films, but it is also one of his comedies-and is perhaps best understood as such.” – Parallax View Jun 20, 2015 Full Review Sadie Thompson (1928) 83% EDIT “Swanson's Sadie Thompson is immediately a complex, electrifying presence in the film ...” – Parallax View Apr 25, 2015 Full Review The Bowery (1933) EDIT “Occasionally it seems designed as a weepy vehicle for Jackie Cooper and Wallace Beery, but it's also a delightfully uncouth period piece with much of the rough comedy of earlier Walsh films...” – Parallax View Apr 25, 2015 Full Review Me and My Gal (1932) EDIT “Me and My Gal is almost a series of parties given in and around a story about a young cop courting a waterfront waitress ...” – Parallax View Apr 25, 2015 Full Review Furious 7 (2015) 81% EDIT “The Cock-eyed World is a plodding, heavyhanded and rather entertaining sequel, with sound, to What Price Glory?.” – Parallax View Apr 25, 2015 Full Review White Heat (1949) 94% EDIT “White Heat with James Cagney as Cody Jarrett is a veritable cauldron of violent masculine passion.” – Parallax View Apr 25, 2015 Full Review High Sierra (1941) 92% EDIT “... it's often an appealing film and its misfires seem more those of attempted innovation rather than of strained seriousness.” – Parallax View Apr 25, 2015 Full Review The Roaring Twenties (1939) 100% EDIT “While The Roaring Twenties is hardly a definitive history of an era, its chronicle... has a sharp bite socially and more than a touch of tragic vision.” – Parallax View Apr 25, 2015 Full Review They Drive by Night (1940) 93% EDIT “Manpower is a kind of paradox. It is full of relentlessly silly antics, and yet it also has an abundance of Walshian delights.” – Parallax View Apr 25, 2015 Full Review The Strawberry Blonde (1941) 100% EDIT “The Strawberry Blonde is unusually domestic for a Walsh film, and rather sentimental to boot.” – Parallax View Apr 25, 2015 Full Review Gentleman Jim (1942) 100% EDIT “In Gentleman Jim a basic premise of the humor is that a good face-to-face brawl is one of the things that make life worth living.” – Parallax View Apr 25, 2015 Full Review El Rio y la Muerte (1955) EDIT “...an anti-macho message picture, in which science, culture and education are held up as the remedies to the hatred and machismo...” – Parallax View Feb 19, 2012 Full Review The Illusion Travels by Streetcar (1953) EDIT “...has its special moments of poetry bordering on the surreal...” – Parallax View Feb 19, 2012 Full Review Gran Casino (1947) EDIT “...while the director has distinctly colored the film with his presence, Gran Casino is also notable for its professional polish.” – Parallax View Feb 19, 2012 Full Review The Young One (1960) 100% EDIT “... crackles with a dark humor and perverse complexity that seem utterly mystifying in a low-budget American film shot on location-or would, if we didn't know something about Luis Buuel.” – Parallax View Feb 19, 2012 Full Review The Criminal Life of Archibaldo de la Cruz (1955) 92% EDIT “...the most integrated and impressive of his ostensibly lighthearted films...” – Parallax View Feb 19, 2012 Full Review Diamond Hunters (1956) 92% EDIT “...an "ambitious" film whose best moments prove more interesting than its plot-perhaps deliberately so.” – Parallax View Feb 19, 2012 Full Review Luna (1979) 50% EDIT “Luna is, in a very important sense, a surrealist film which makes use of the stylistic possibilities opened up by Buuel in the 1960s.” – Parallax View Sep 18, 2010 Full Review Celine and Julie Go Boating (1974) 80% EDIT “The plot has its mysteries, but there's also a playful simplicity and modesty of scope that one tends to associate with much shorter films.” – Parallax View Jul 27, 2010 Full Review
