3/5	" As do some of our most popular standup comedians, Mr. Kaplan sort of floats over his material, always in charge of it, but never deeply involved. This is not a rebuke." Posted Mar 24, 2008	Fast Break (1979)	n/a
2/5	" The Exorcist is not an unintelligently put-together film, which makes one all the more impatient with it." Posted Mar 19, 2008	The Exorcist (1973)	85%
4/5	" Semi-Tough pokes fun in rambling fashion, but it is vulgar in intelligent ways and almost always amusing in its perceptions of befuddled people who are perfectly healthy but often convinced they're not." Posted Jan 25, 2008	Semi-Tough (1977)	80%
3/5	" I'm not very fond of this sort of moviemaking, which tries to disarm conventional criticism by exploiting formlessness as meaningful itself, but I like Sjoman's sense of humor and sense of humanity, and his obvious affection for Lena." Posted Jan 22, 2008	I Am Curious (Blue) (1968)	20%
1/5	" All-awful." Posted Jan 15, 2008	Edith and Marcel (1983)	n/a
2/5	" It bubbles occasionally, but like low-calorie club soda." Posted Jan 15, 2008	La Bonne Anne (1973)	20%
4/5	" They are good company." Posted Jan 15, 2008	Robert Et Robert (1979)	n/a
2.5/5	" *Nothing in Death Hunt* makes a great deal of sense, though the scenery is rugged and the snowscapes beautiful.*" Posted Dec 26, 2007*	Death Hunt (1981)	n/a
2/5	" The film's major difficulty is the screenplay by Jane Wagner." Posted Dec 10, 2007	Incredible Shrinking Woman (1980)	0%
4.5/5	" Like Godard, Tati is also remarkably appreciative of the odd beauty that can be revealed in the shapes, patterns and colors created by the technology of planned obsolescence." Posted Nov 14, 2007	Trafic (1971)	100%
3.5/5	" It is a most demanding, original work and one must meet it on its own terms, without expectations of casual pleasures." Posted Nov 13, 2007	Green Room (1978)	50%
2/5	" Kazan seems to have turned his search for identity into a callous soap opera, unworthy of a man of Kazan's true talent." Posted Nov 1, 2007	The Arrangement (1969)	17%
0.5/5	" It really isn't easy to make a movie as mind-bendingly bad as Best Defense. It takes hard work, a very great deal of money and people so talented that it matters when they fail with such utter lack of distinction." Posted Oct 30, 2007	Best Defense (1984)	n/a
4.5/5	" The Adversary moves so quietly, with such seeming politeness to jaded film senses, that it takes a while to realize that for all its somberness it's a particularly moving comedy." Posted Oct 24, 2007	Pratidwandi (1972)	100%
4/5	" It's not always necessary to understand Pasolini to be riveted by what he does." Posted Oct 23, 2007	Oedipus Rex (1967)	80%
2.5/5	" The contemporary setting works against the kind of tale that was even a bit silly in the pre-heart-transplant era." Posted Sep 29, 2007	Corruption (1968)	n/a
2.5/5	" 200 Motels has no particular focal point, being principally an anthology of poor jokes and spectacular audio-visual effects, a few of which might expand the mind, but all of which, taken together, are like an overdose of Novocain." Posted Sep 10, 2007	200 Motels (1971)	67%
2.5/5	" The idiosyncrasies are there, all right, but they have never seemed less interesting." Posted Sep 4, 2007	A Fistful of Dynamite (1971)	84%
2/5	" *This Prelude to a Kiss* is not only without charm and wit, but it's also clumsily set forth: many people seeing it may wonder what, in heaven's name, is going on.*" Posted Aug 14, 2007*	Prelude to a Kiss (1992)	60%
5/5	" Mr. Bergman is more mysterious, more haunting, more contradictory than ever, though the style of the film has never been more precise, clear, levelheaded." Posted Jul 31, 2007	Face to Face (1976)	71%
3/5	" There is an order to this film, but we must supply it, each according to his needs." Posted Jun 23, 2007	Black Moon (1975)	n/a

4/5	" The Family Game is not always easy to follow, but it's almost always funny and, from the opening shots until the last, it's a visual adventure." Posted Sep 30, 2006	The Family Game (1983)	n/a
2/5	" By the end of it I was feeling a certain amount of resentment at having been had, along with Alice B. Toklas, whose name, apparently, is to become an automatic laugh, like smog and girdle." Posted Sep 30, 2006	I Love You, Alice B. Toklas (1968)	20%

2/5	" What is new for a Fassbinder work is that the film is far more entertaining to watch than it is interesting to speculate about. That means it's a disappointment." Posted Sep 18, 2006	Lili Marleen (1981)	40%

2/5	" It's not quite a nature film, but it's not strong enough to be classified as an adventure. It's a benign, almost restful movie whose end effect may well be deep sleep." Posted Aug 19, 2006	Fish Hawk (1979)	n/a
3.5/5	" Children, brought up on TV, should be dazzled by the slam-bang wit and the excellence of the animation techniques." Posted Aug 12, 2006	Bugs Bunny Superstar (1975)	n/a
4/5	" Mr. Scorsese has made a big, intelligent movie that functions as if it were a window on a world he had just discovered, and about which he can't wait to spread the news." Posted Jul 22, 2006	The Age of Innocence (1993)	81%
3.5/5	" The Emigrants is a stately, pictorially romantic chronicle of the lives of a small group of peasants for whom existence at home becomes so tenuous that emigration seems the only solution." Posted Jun 24, 2006	The Emigrants (1971)	n/a
