Lady Sings the Blues (1972) 73% EDIT “Miss Ross' admirable screen debut rewards the audience's patience with a memorable movie.” – Tampa Bay Times Apr 5, 2024 Full Review The Last Picture Show (1971) 98% EDIT “The movie is not flashy. It uses no ultra-sophisticated devices to demand your attention. Instead, the skillful actors involve the audience in a smooth, deliberate way that is technically superb and surprisingly rewarding. ” – Tampa Bay Times Oct 25, 2023 Full Review Fiddler on the Roof (1971) 81% EDIT “The film stands alone not as an imitation of Fiddler on the Roof, but another version of it. And it is delightfully successful.” – Tampa Bay Times May 16, 2023 Full Review Buck and the Preacher (1972) 84% EDIT “An exciting action western that often builds a sweaty gun-battle tension and interest under Poitier's skillful direction.” – Tampa Bay Times May 26, 2022 Full Review The French Connection (1971) 97% EDIT “Director William Friedkin has carefully contrived the intense action of this film to jolt you, to assault your nervous system. He is undeniably successful.” – Tampa Bay Times Apr 15, 2021 Full Review The Godfather (1972) 97% EDIT “It's an exceptionally good comeback for Brando, who's never really been that far away, in a movie that is now tender, now shockingly violent and often pleasing to the eye.” – Tampa Bay Times Mar 29, 2021 Full Review Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song (1971) 73% EDIT “Like a Bertolt Brecht play or a George Grosz drawing, [Sweetback] lets you know where it's at as far as the creator is concerned. As an expression of Van Peeble's attitudes it is a stunning, albeit shattering experience.” – Tampa Bay Times Dec 16, 2020 Full Review
