The Sin of Nora Moran (1933) 67% EDIT “It is morose and tangled, and whatever merit may be due, it is due only to the heroic efforts of its cast to uphold the material given them. ” – Washington Star Feb 22, 2024 Full Review The Man Who Laughs (1928) 100% EDIT “Conrad Veidt does a wonderful piece of acting.” – Washington Star Oct 31, 2023 Full Review The Black Pirate (1926) 100% EDIT “Dramatic and thrilling are inadequate to express these new acrobatic feats which the agile “Doug” has to offer.” – Washington Star Mar 22, 2023 Full Review Safety Last (1923) 97% EDIT “Never before in the history of the Industry, perhaps, has there been a picture made that so successfully combined the highest degree of thrills and laughter and held those two elements at a continuous pitch of tense interest for so long a period of time.” – Washington Star Feb 21, 2023 Full Review Main Street (1923) 57% EDIT “... Yet there is a subtle humor in this silver-sheet version that was lacking in the written page, and the audience sees a bit of fun poked slyly at Carol Kennicott, the idealistic heroine, as well as at the typical, narrow Main streeters. ” – Washington Star Jan 25, 2023 Full Review My Four Years in Germany (1918) 95% EDIT “Painstaking care has reproduced, even to the most minute detail, events of import from the pre-war days, on through to the almost overnight change of front on the part of Germany from a "peace-loving" nation to "the war beast."” – Washington Star Nov 16, 2022 Full Review The Thief of Bagdad (1924) 97% EDIT “Two hours of superb diversion.” – Washington Star Oct 26, 2022 Full Review A Study in Scarlet (1933) 93% EDIT “[A] well-directed and most modern of Sherlock revivals.

As a novel, it was a success. As a spoken play it was one of the hits of its period. As a screen production it is a scream.” – Washington Star Oct 21, 2020 Full Review Cabiria (1914) 93% EDIT “The picture is a monument to the wonderful strides made in the past year by the motion camera.” – Washington Star Oct 19, 2020 Full Review Island of Lost Souls (1933) 88% EDIT “Perhaps the better atmosphere is due to the acting of Charles Laughton.” – Washington Star Oct 8, 2020 Full Review Ladies of the Mob (1928) 85% EDIT “Ladies of the Mob, an unusual underworld story, giving the woman's side of the hectic maneuvers of that sect known as gangsters, is a powerful vehicle wherein Miss Bow excellently proves her versatility.” – Washington Star Sep 15, 2020 Full Review Ten Modern Commandments (1927) 90% EDIT “[Ten Modern Commandments] is a delightful comedy of stage life, interwoven with an ingenious love story.” – Washington Star Sep 14, 2020 Full Review The Courageous Coward (1919) 100% EDIT “It is a dramatic story of merit and excellently portrayed.” – Washington Star Sep 10, 2020 Full Review
