Java Head (1934) 71% EDIT “It marks the waste of a good story.” – Variety Oct 21, 2022 Full Review The Rogue Song (1930) 79% EDIT “Other than Tibbett's vocalizing there's many a dull moment. Tpo many to technically class it as a good picture.” – Variety Jun 29, 2022 Full Review The Jazz Singer (1927) 77% EDIT “Undoubtedly the best thing Vitaphone has ever put on the screen.” – Variety Feb 25, 2021 Full Review Paris (1929) 92% EDIT “As on the stage, Miss Bordoni seems best suited to the revue type of entertainment where she can come and go In specialties to turn loose her full strength.” – Variety Nov 13, 2020 Full Review Three Week-Ends (1928) 60% EDIT “Nothing great about this one. Just frothy light and in showing wild youth cooped up in the tenement district.” – Variety Oct 21, 2020 Full Review Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1928) 80% EDIT “No howls, but steady laughs.” – Variety Sep 29, 2020 Full Review Kismet (1930) 85% EDIT “A splendid effort.” – Variety Sep 28, 2020 Full Review Beau Sabreur (1928) 60% EDIT “This tale is far under the horsepower of which Geste could boast.” – Variety Sep 18, 2020 Full Review The Dove (1927) 67% EDIT “The Dove doesn't threaten to get under the skin and hasn't the dramatic intensity of the play. It's spasmodically slow.” – Variety Jul 27, 2020 Full Review A Blind Bargain (1922) 50% EDIT “Somewhat fantastic, it takes a bit of stretching of the Imagination to swallow this story, and beyond the work of the star himself there Is nothing to raise this film above the average feature.” – Variety Jul 22, 2020 Full Review Camille (1927) 40% EDIT “Fred Niblo and Miss Talmadge have dedicated a pretty love story to the screen that lacks the punch to make it a standout.” – Variety Jul 21, 2020 Full Review The Cradle Snatchers (1927) 83% EDIT “With or without the play in mind Cradle Snatchers makes a corking program leader that guarantees laughs.” – Variety Jul 20, 2020 Full Review The Beautiful and Damned (1922) 57% EDIT “It screens as mostly u catch-as-catch-can presentation of the story, neither covering the territory which the bound edition did nor Is it as interesting.” – Variety Jul 19, 2020 Full Review My Man (1928) 86% EDIT “My Man is about the same as watching a recital by Fannie Brlce in all the best things she has ever done. I ought to be good and is, but it doesn't lessen the fact that Miss Brice looks like a one-picture star.” – Variety Jul 19, 2020 Full Review The Way of All Flesh (1927) 88% EDIT “No specific punch to this initial made-in-the-U.S.A. Jannings release.” – Variety Jul 2, 2020 Full Review Coquette (1929) 44% EDIT “It neither grasps nor holds the imagination as did the play for three pretty fair reasons -- cast, change In story and a repeated tendency to become too talkie and motionless.” – Variety Dec 23, 2019 Full Review Our Dancing Daughters (1928) EDIT “[Our Dancing Daughters] is sumptuously mounted, gets plenty of playing from three girls and is sufficiently physically teasing.” – Variety Jul 22, 2008 Full Review Shanghai Express (1932) 96% EDIT “Josef von Sternberg, the director, has made this effort interesting through a definite command of the lens. As to plot structure and dialog, Shanghai Express runs much too close to old meller and serial themes to command real attention.” – Variety Jun 6, 2008 Full Review Wings (1927) 94% EDIT “There not being so much of Clara Bow in the picture, or a straining for her to turn on that 'it' personality, she gives an all around corking performance.” – Variety Feb 19, 2008 Full Review City Lights (1931) 95% EDIT “The British comic is still the consummate pantomimist, unquestionably one of the greatest the stage or screen has ever known.” – Variety Jun 27, 2007 Full Review The Broadway Melody (1929) 42% EDIT “Excellent bits of sound workmanship are that of camera and mike following Page and the heavy along the dance floor to pick up their conversation as they glide.” – Variety Mar 1, 2007 Full Review
