Army of Lovers or Revolt of the Perverts (1979) EDIT “Politically it seems suspect; and the crew clearly enjoyed making it a lot more than an audience will enjoy watching it.” – Time Out May 18, 2020 Full Review Luna (1979) 50% EDIT “Ravishing to look at, but the movie's real curiosity is the way it fails to reverse Bertolucci's usual preoccupations.” – Time Out Oct 18, 2008 Full Review Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953) 88% EDIT “A classic musical/social satire, featuring tight script, Hawks' usual humanity of style, and a line-up of sardonic song 'n' dance numbers.” – Time Out Jun 24, 2006 Full Review Moonraker (1979) 59% EDIT “The space-age plot is spread dangerously thin, the fights all tend to slapstick, and the wanton destruction has become rather too predictable. But it's held together by likeable performances.” – Time Out Jun 24, 2006 Full Review Intolerance (1916) 98% EDIT “The thematic approach no longer works (if it ever did); the title cards are stiffly Victorian and sometimes laughably pedantic; but the visual poetry is overwhelming.” – Time Out Jun 24, 2006 Full Review The Buddy Holly Story (1978) 100% EDIT “Fine biopic which showcases a brilliant performance by Busey as Holly, and conveys a real, raw feeling for the music.” – Time Out Jun 24, 2006 Full Review National Lampoon's Animal House (1978) 91% EDIT “An unashamed sense of its own fantasy is coupled with classically mounted slapstick; nostalgia mixes with cynicism in seductive proportions; and John Belushi's central performance as brain-damaged slob-cum-Thief of Baghdad is wonderful.” – Time Out Jun 24, 2006 Full Review Sweet Smell of Success (1957) 98% EDIT “The screen was rarely so dark or cruel.” – Time Out Jun 24, 2006 Full Review Tristana (1970) 97% EDIT “Rey is brilliant as the mephistophelean, anti-clerical Socialist, dandy and outmoded master of social graces: father, lover and husband all in one.” – Time Out Jun 24, 2006 Full Review Miracle in Milan (1951) 92% EDIT “Outrageous sentimentality undercut by outrageous cheek.” – Time Out Feb 9, 2006 Full Review Being There (1979) 95% EDIT “What emerges in the end is a strange ambiguity of attitude to the American political system and a hollow humour about cultural values. The cinema of cynicism, really.” – Time Out Jan 26, 2006 Full Review A Very Curious Girl (1969) 67% EDIT “Greed, malice and bigotry are satirised with merciless, atheistic scorn.” – Time Out Jan 26, 2006 Full Review The Fog (1980) 76% EDIT “Carpenter's confidence is outrageous; the range of his models even more so (from Poe to RKO); and the achievement is all his own, despite ragged moments and occasional hesitations.” – Time Out Jan 26, 2006 Full Review Old Boyfriends (1979) 57% EDIT “The failure owes something to slack direction, and probably more to the misogyny of Paul and Leonard Schrader's script, which contrives a distinctly reactionary mix of sentiment, morality, and melodrama.” – Time Out Jan 26, 2006 Full Review Wise Blood (1979) 88% EDIT “This adaptation of Flannery O'Connor's novel is John Huston's best film for many years.” – Time Out Jan 26, 2006 Full Review The Deer Hunter (1978) 86% 5/5 EDIT “This is probably one of the few great films of the Seventies.” – Time Out Jan 26, 2006 Full Review
