Rating	T-Meter	Title \| Year	Add Date
2.5/5	83%	All This, and Heaven Too (1940)	" Unfortunately, there are too many words and not enough music." — New York Times Posted Feb 3, 2012
4.5/5	67%	America, America (The Anatolian Smile) (1963)	" Elia Kazan's Greek uncle, who was the first of his family to emigrate to the United States, is paid a splendid tribute by his nephew in the new film, America, America." — New York Times Posted Feb 3, 2012
4/5	100%	Hold Back the Dawn (1941)	" You will enjoy it as a straight-away romance, crowded with most engaging characters and smoking with Mr. Boyer's charm." — New York Times Posted Feb 3, 2012
4.5/5	100%	One Foot in Heaven (1941)	" Out of Hartzell Spence's deeply affectionate biography of his ministerial father, William Spence, the Warners have derived a cheerful and warmly compassionate film, an excellent character study and an adult entertainment on the screen." — New York Times Posted Feb 3, 2012
2.5/5	71%	Kitty Foyle: The Natural History of a Woman (1940)	" he sharpness and contemporary significance of Mr. Morley's commentary are missing. His Kitty was of real flesh and blood; this one is persuasive but fictitious." — New York Times Posted Jan 31, 2012
2.5/5	71%	Sons and Lovers (1960)	" Somehow, this plainly euphemistic attitude toward Lawrence's fierce and fine account runs through the whole handsome picture and hobbles its real potential punch." — New York Times Posted Jan 31, 2012
4.5/5	71%	Il Momento della Verita (The Moment of Truth) (1965)	" Never have I got such a message of the cruelty of the sport as is conveyed in this film, which owes much of its excitement to superb color photography." — New York Times Posted Jan 23, 2012

2.5/5	88%	Quo Vadis (1951)	" It was made, we suspect, for those who like grandeur and noise -- and no punctuation. It will probably be a vast success." — New York Times Posted Mar 23, 2011
—	——	Die lustigen Weiber von Windsor (The Merry Wives of Windsor) (1950)	— New York Times Posted Feb 7, 2011
—	——	Arise, My Love (1940)	— New York Times Posted Jan 31, 2011
2/5	——	Behind the Great Wall ()	" Check off the novel experience as precisely what we've labeled it -- a stunt. The artistic benefit of it is here demonstrated to be nil." — New York Times Posted Oct 26, 2010
2/5	——	Scent of Mystery ()	" As theatrical exhibitionism, it is gaudy, sprawling and full of sound. But as an attempt at a considerable motion picture it has to be classified as bunk." — New York Times Posted Oct 26, 2010
—	——	Fran�oise ou La Vie Conjugale (Anatomy of a Marriage: My Days with Fran�oise) (1964)	— New York Times Posted Aug 23, 2010

2.5/5	85%	The Taming of the Shrew (1967)	" As for Mr. Zeffirelli's settings and the elaborate Renaissance costumes, they look very rich and mellow in the misty pastel colors that are used. But they, too, like Nino Rota's music, tend to monotony." — New York Times Posted Jul 1, 2008
2/5	60%	Until They Sail (1957)	" Unfortunately there is a good deal of introspective soul-searching before this narrative arrives at its sad and happy endings." — New York Times Posted Jun 17, 2008
2/5	0%	What a Way to Go! (1964)	" J. Lee Thompson's direction has failed to coalesce a good, firm farce. It lets the whole thing flap wildly -- and that's no way to make a film." — New York Times Posted Jun 17, 2008
3/5	——	Francis the Talking Mule (1950)	" It holds a few good laughs -- especially for mules." — New York Times Posted May 12, 2008
