The Magnificent Seven (1960) 93% EDIT “A fresh story, and variety of character, together with more acrobatic gun-play than ever seen before, make this a soundly satisfying western.” – The Sun-Herald (Australia) Jan 14, 2026 Full Review A Place in the Sun (1951) 90% EDIT “It is inevitable that any...film treatment of Dreiser's "American Tragedy will preserve some of the original novel's elements...and this taut and compelling film, so beautifully directed and acted, is no disappointment in that respect.” – The Sun-Herald (Australia) Jan 13, 2026 Full Review Alice in Wonderland (1951) 83% EDIT “Purists will grieve that there is too much of Disney's savage virtuosity and too little of Lewis Carroll's relaxed delight... Perhaps there was delight enough merely in marvelling at Disney's fiendish skill in weaving patterns of terrible vitality.” – The Sun-Herald (Australia) Jan 8, 2026 Full Review Journey Back to Oz (1974) 30% EDIT “The tunes are not memorable.” – The Sun-Herald (Australia) Nov 25, 2025 Full Review Hedda (1975) EDIT “Seldom has a sophisticated classic been treated with such clarity and sensitivity that it is possible to relate rewardingly to the characters.” – The Sun-Herald (Australia) Nov 22, 2025 Full Review The Catamount Killing (1974) EDIT “This taut suspense film of greed and death in a small Vermont town is one of the best of its kind.” – The Sun-Herald (Australia) Nov 22, 2025 Full Review Brother, Can You Spare a Dime? (1975) EDIT “A fascinating montage.” – The Sun-Herald (Australia) Nov 22, 2025 Full Review Peeper (1975) 30% EDIT “Michael Caine hasn't done himself any good by appearing in this one.” – The Sun-Herald (Australia) Nov 21, 2025 Full Review The Wild Party (1975) 40% EDIT “All the barbarity and sentimentality of the era comes through strongly.” – The Sun-Herald (Australia) Oct 8, 2025 Full Review Rollerball (1975) 56% EDIT “As a social comment, it could have bite but unfortunately the idea is treated very superficially.” – The Sun-Herald (Australia) Jun 5, 2025 Full Review The Stepford Wives (1975) 55% EDIT “The build-up is far too slow and Miss Ross' sudden transition from curiosity to panic is unconvincing. ” – The Sun-Herald (Australia) May 2, 2025 Full Review Brannigan (1975) 48% EDIT “The several are several classic moments of suspense. ” – The Sun-Herald (Australia) Apr 11, 2025 Full Review Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975) 92% EDIT “As a rather tame romp around the Round Table we can only give it the ho-hum award and suggest the people concerned pull up their chain-mail socks if there is to be a sequel.” – The Sun-Herald (Australia) Apr 1, 2025 Full Review Nashville (1975) 89% EDIT “Putting 24 major characters into a 2-hour 40-minute film has to be a cinematic achievement of sorts. Robert Altman's newest film also scores another less dubious achievement. He makes it work. ” – The Sun-Herald (Australia) Feb 26, 2025 Full Review The Lavender Hill Mob (1951) 100% EDIT “Alec Guinness... is delightfully respectable as the mister-mind who is ever so pleased with himself within his general air of suburban meekness.” – The Sun-Herald (Australia) Apr 18, 2024 Full Review The Big Heat (1953) 95% EDIT “Fritz Lang's perennial interest in characters who are twisted or ugly finds plenty of scope in this taut, well-made melodrama.” – The Sun-Herald (Australia) Mar 28, 2024 Full Review Dune (1984) 36% EDIT “Dune's special effects are undeniably four-star material. But, irreverent as it may seem, with such a proliferation of exotic creatures milling about, it struck me that the film was like nothing so much as a sapped up episode of Doctor who.” – The Sun-Herald (Australia) Feb 15, 2024 Full Review Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953) 88% EDIT “It splashes spectacular technicolor around with enough daring luridness to show that it doesn't mean to be intellectually priggish, and enough old-master taste to show that it does not mean to be vulgar. ” – The Sun-Herald (Australia) Mar 7, 2023 Full Review Sayonara (1957) 82% EDIT “No humane man would quarrel with the general argument of the film, but it is emotionalised and over-simplified into a straight contest of True Love versus Prejudice, with no recognition of any more complex issues.” – The Sun-Herald (Australia) Mar 2, 2023 Full Review Addams Family Values (1993) 76% 3/4 EDIT “Julia, as the irrepressibly romantic Gomez, is downright adorable... However, Christina Ricci as the deadpan Wednesday and Back To The Future star Lloyd as breathlessly gullible Uncle Fester have fine-tuned their performances to an achingly funny degree.” – The Sun-Herald (Australia) Sep 22, 2022 Full Review A Man for All Seasons (1966) 89% EDIT “Scofield gives what must be one of the great screen performances of our time. The script would be hard to fault, the direction and camera work are flawless and the supporting cast are all uniformly excellent. ” – The Sun-Herald (Australia) Sep 2, 2022 Full Review A Raisin in the Sun (1961) 90% EDIT “[A Raisin in the Sun,] transferred almost literally from the Broadway stage, goes among the best films of the year.” – The Sun-Herald (Australia) Aug 23, 2022 Full Review The Apartment (1960) 93% EDIT “The Apartment, for all its tremendous enjoyment, has the ferocity, as well as the fun, typical of Mr Wilder.” – The Sun-Herald (Australia) Mar 9, 2022 Full Review Creature From the Black Lagoon (1954) 81% EDIT “There are some effective underwater scenes; otherwise script and direction are commonplace.” – The Sun-Herald (Australia) Oct 13, 2020 Full Review From Here to Eternity (1953) 88% EDIT “Fred Zinnemann's direction shows American film-making at its best -- terse, economical, precise in all its judgments.” – The Sun-Herald (Australia) Feb 4, 2020 Full Review
