Camille (1936) 96% EDIT “Lionel Barrymore is in his element as old Duval. ” – Montreal Gazette Feb 4, 2026 Full Review The Gold Rush (1925) 98% EDIT “Chaplin takes strange situations and stirs up tears and smiles. He accomplishes this with art and simplicity, and in his more boisterous moments he engineers incidents that, at this presentation, provoked shrieks of laughter.” – Montreal Gazette Jun 24, 2025 Full Review Only Yesterday (1933) 100% EDIT “One of the finer performances on the screen during the current year is that given by Margaret Sullavan... Miss Sullavan is a newcomer who should do wonders at Hollywood. She possesses every gift for it.” – Montreal Gazette Apr 23, 2024 Full Review State Fair (1933) 100% EDIT “The cast is a first class one. Will Rogers does his first straight role for the screen as the farmer and achieves a real triumph. ” – Montreal Gazette Nov 9, 2023 Full Review The Bitter Tea of General Yen (1933) 86% EDIT “The film provides countless opportunities for the spectacular, the colorful in story and well-etched characterizations.” – Montreal Gazette Apr 24, 2023 Full Review Evil Dead II (1987) 88% 2.5/5 EDIT “The lack of standard interludes used to build suspense may turn off some fans of the genre -- but aficionados should be more than happy with the stomach-turning special effects and a most unusual ending. ” – Montreal Gazette Mar 28, 2023 Full Review The Black Pirate (1926) 100% EDIT “[The Black Pirate is] deliciously fantastical and utterly convincing, which will strike a responsive chord in everyone who has ever been young. And it is Douglas Fairbanks at his best.” – Montreal Gazette Mar 22, 2023 Full Review The Dark Angel (1935) 94% EDIT “The film is all the stronger and all the more affecting for being on the reserved side.” – Montreal Gazette Mar 9, 2023 Full Review Frankenstein (1931) 94% EDIT “Unfortunately, once they have brought the monster to life, James Whale and Universal do not seem to have the slightest idea of how to make him function dramatically. ” – Montreal Gazette Jan 13, 2023 Full Review King Kong (1933) 97% EDIT “However far-fetched this story of a prehistoric ape dealing death and destruction on Broadway may be, there is no denying that it offers a new thrill in the way of horror and adventure.” – Montreal Gazette Nov 9, 2022 Full Review The Thief of Bagdad (1924) 97% EDIT “Julanne Johnston makes a sweet picture as a princess... while Miss Anna May Wong enacts [her role] with distinctive ability and realistic effect.” – Montreal Gazette Oct 21, 2022 Full Review Shanghai Express (1932) 96% EDIT “The picture is tense with excitement where the story is underway. At other moments the director has substituted clever camera effects and a convincing atmosphere.” – Montreal Gazette Oct 20, 2022 Full Review The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1919) 96% EDIT “Of the actors, it may be said that they most faithfully portray the undiluted horrors set to their tasks. From that point of view they are excellent, indeed, the characterizations are amazing.” – Montreal Gazette Oct 3, 2022 Full Review Mutiny on the Bounty (1935) 96% EDIT “[Mutiny on the Bounty] is unquestionably one of the bigger films of the year, both in its scope and in its wonderful photography of the sea, so to speak, in action.” – Montreal Gazette Jul 26, 2022 Full Review The Rogue Song (1930) 79% EDIT “[The film] is a tremendous achievement; it marks another milestone on the road of progress of the films; more than that, it proves a brilliant triumph tor Tlbbett, whose rich voice and acting ability completely overshadow everything else In the picture.” – Montreal Gazette Jun 28, 2022 Full Review The Queen of Sheba (1921) 93% EDIT “The fleetness and rhythm of the chariot horses during the races is stirring. The ceremonies were very gorgeous in those days, and the people's conception of headgear is beyond modern imagination.” – Montreal Gazette Jan 12, 2022 Full Review The Great Ziegfeld (1936) 72% EDIT “There have been many musical pictures before which dealt elaborately in beautiful girls and spectacular settings, but it must be admitted that they are all dwarfed by this one, dwarfed in physical size and in imaginative scope.” – Montreal Gazette Nov 30, 2021 Full Review They Had to See Paris (1929) EDIT “Rogers has a characterization which fits him like a glove.” – Montreal Gazette May 19, 2021 Full Review Gold Diggers of Broadway (1929) 93% EDIT “Some of the stage ensembles worked into the sequence of the events are strikingly beautiful. The stage backgrounds and settings are lavish, and after the best traditions of the legitimate theatre.” – Montreal Gazette May 19, 2021 Full Review The Power and the Glory (1933) 86% EDIT “Although the story in Itself is not unusual, the method of presenting it lends it power and dramatic effect it would otherwise lack.” – Montreal Gazette May 13, 2021 Full Review All Quiet on the Western Front (1930) 98% EDIT “It strips fighting of its romance, its glory, and relentlessly exposes the facts of filth, blood and death only illuminated by the spirit of a noble comradeship flaming like a torch in the darkness.” – Montreal Gazette Apr 7, 2021 Full Review It Happened One Night (1934) 98% EDIT “The film provides these two popular screen players with good material and they take advantage of ail the possibilities.” – Montreal Gazette Mar 31, 2021 Full Review Cleopatra (1917) 91% EDIT “Though truly wonderful scenic effects are brought into play... the most striking feature of all was Miss Bara's simulation of the caprices and allurements of the great Egyptian Queen.” – Montreal Gazette Mar 10, 2021 Full Review Fox Movietone Follies of 1929 (1929) 86% EDIT “Follies of 1929 goes down as lively and infectious entertainment.” – Montreal Gazette Mar 6, 2021 Full Review Imitation of Life (1934) 88% EDIT “[Louise Beavers's] remarkable performance of Aunt Delilah lifts this film out of the ordinary routine of the cinema.” – Montreal Gazette Jan 30, 2021 Full Review
