4/5	95%	Things to Come (1936)	" Things to Come is an unusual picture, a fantasy, if you will, with overtones of the Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon comic strips.

3.5/5	80%	Front Page Woman (1935)	" If you will keep in mind that this portrayal of newspaper work is a wee bit on the whimsy side, then Front Page Woman can be recommended as a downright amusing photoplay." — New York Times Posted Mar 24, 2007
