Gaslight (1944) 94% EDIT “If you must have your marrow frost rimed, undoubtedly The Capital's Gaslight is the most magnificent chiller in town. ” – Ottawa Citizen Jan 13, 2026 Full Review The Sea Around Us (1953) EDIT “A picture that nature lovers will enjoy thoroughly.” – Ottawa Citizen Aug 6, 2025 Full Review The Sword and the Rose (1953) EDIT “This is excitingly and dramatically presented, starring the swamp alligators, and is fascinating throughout.” – Ottawa Citizen Aug 6, 2025 Full Review The War of the Worlds (1953) 89% EDIT “Producer Pal keeps the story moving quickly and adroitly maintains the tension with his special effects and intelligent direction. This is another of his superior science fiction epics.” – Ottawa Citizen Aug 6, 2025 Full Review Only Yesterday (1933) 100% EDIT “Only Yesterday is notable chiefly for the stirring performance of a screen newcomer, Margaret Sullavan... Her first play is rather familiar in plot, but it is mounted so tastefully and told so sensitively, that it seems better than it is.” – Ottawa Citizen Apr 23, 2024 Full Review Sabrina (1954) 89% EDIT “The whole picture is full of fresh situations and original humor. ” – Ottawa Citizen Mar 28, 2024 Full Review The Sin of Nora Moran (1933) 67% EDIT “Here is a powerful story which is refreshing in its sincere theme. ” – Ottawa Citizen Feb 22, 2024 Full Review The Black Pirate (1926) 100% EDIT “It is a poem in color, and to me It suggested nothing more than a series of old masters come to quick and vivid life.” – Ottawa Citizen Mar 22, 2023 Full Review Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953) 88% EDIT “This show provides some pretty good entertainment. ” – Ottawa Citizen Mar 8, 2023 Full Review Gentleman's Agreement (1947) 82% EDIT “It is a powerful, hard-hitting story which bares the snobbishness in all of us on one subject or another. It is the kind cf picture everyone should see at least once a month... perhaps more often.” – Ottawa Citizen Nov 16, 2022 Full Review Meet Me in St. Louis (1944) 99% EDIT “There isn't a gripe to make about the cast. Judy Garland and Lucille Bremer, a promising newcomer, are the sisters Smith. Last, but far from least, is Margaret O'Brien, whose Tootie is nothing short of wonderful.” – Ottawa Citizen Nov 10, 2022 Full Review Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939) 97% EDIT “The great deal heard of this picture caused much anticipation to work up over Its arrival. Now, anticipation justified, for the film is one of the finest this reviewer has seen, it is difficult to know just where to begin a critique.” – Ottawa Citizen Nov 8, 2022 Full Review The Thief of Bagdad (1924) 97% EDIT “It is a masterpiece of its kind, and to many it will reveal the art of the motion picture at its best.” – Ottawa Citizen Oct 21, 2022 Full Review Cobra Woman (1944) 73% EDIT “Cobra Woman is a thriller that might have been lifted right from the colored Sunday funnies, but audiences at [its premiere] were bound to admire its amazingly beautiful technicolor effects. ” – Ottawa Citizen Sep 20, 2022 Full Review The Life of Emile Zola (1937) 92% EDIT “Paul Muni spans the years of Zola's life with fine artistry, capably assisted by Gale Sondergaard as Madame Zola. Joseph Schildkraut plays Dreyfus well. ” – Ottawa Citizen Aug 2, 2022 Full Review Marty (1955) 96% EDIT “Seldom is the movie screen peopled with such valid characters; seldom is so much real and understanding humor of life packed Into one picture.” – Ottawa Citizen Oct 18, 2021 Full Review The Little Fugitive (1953) 93% EDIT “The star of this remarkable film story is Joey Norton, age 7, (Richie Andrusco) who outdoes Jackie Coogan of Chaplin days because he Is practically the whole show, all by himself.” – Ottawa Citizen Sep 16, 2021 Full Review Salomy Jane (1914) 100% EDIT “Photographically the whole production is of the highest order. The acting, the dramatic end of the picture, equals the technical end. Beatriz Michelena is featured and gives a clear interpretation of the fiery Salomy Jane Clay.” – Ottawa Citizen Sep 7, 2021 Full Review The Power and the Glory (1933) 86% EDIT “Miss Moore proves by her work In this truly fine picture that she has lost none of the art that made her famous several years ago.” – Ottawa Citizen May 13, 2021 Full Review On the Waterfront (1954) 99% EDIT “Brando and [Eva Marie Saint] fall in love, and it's as realistic and tragic a blossoming of love as the screen has portrayed for many frames.” – Ottawa Citizen Apr 8, 2021 Full Review All About Eve (1950) 99% EDIT “A film that attains such a depth of understanding of its subject without sacrificing entertainment value is a rare and wonderful thing. ” – Ottawa Citizen Apr 2, 2021 Full Review Wings (1927) 94% EDIT “The thrilling adventures in the air that are shown... must be seen. They are beyond anything else of their kind, and are a wonderful achievement in photoplay construction.” – Ottawa Citizen Feb 9, 2021 Full Review Imitation of Life (1934) 88% EDIT “At times [Imitation of Life] moves with rapidity from merriment to pathos, but it is enthralling throughout.” – Ottawa Citizen Jan 30, 2021 Full Review Stormy Weather (1943) 95% EDIT “The musical delight, Stormy Weather... provides more than an hour of fine entertainment.” – Ottawa Citizen Jan 28, 2021 Full Review Flaming Youth (1923) 91% EDIT “The age-old argument as to whether or not a wife has the right to demand o her husband the name rigidity of standards as he demands of her... forms the sensational theme of Flaming Youth, a powerful story of modern unconventional life.” – Ottawa Citizen Dec 30, 2020 Full Review
