Little Big Man (1970) 91% EDIT “Little Big Man is a western epic, although it totters in spots because it can't decide whether to play it for laughs all the way or succumb to the violence. It can be called funny. It can be called serious. One thing you can't call it -- a put-on. ” – Hartford Courant Nov 10, 2023 Full Review The Exorcist (1973) 78% EDIT “I can't possibly believe that one is supposed to take The Exorcist seriously. It's a childish prank which pretentiously deals with the struggle over evil in narrow Gothic terms. ” – Hartford Courant Sep 27, 2023 Full Review Midnight Cowboy (1969) 89% EDIT “Midnight Cowboy is the grubbiest movie of the year. Despite its weaknesses it is also one of the best so far -- running a close second to Easy Rider. ” – Hartford Courant Mar 11, 2022 Full Review Oliver! (1968) 90% EDIT “Oliver! has come to the screen as a tenderly beautiful movie. Director Carol Reed has avoided cheap sentimentality and projected Lionel Bart's 10-year-old stage musical into a wider dimension without losing the intimacy of the Dickens classic.” – Hartford Courant Mar 2, 2022 Full Review The Godfather (1972) 97% EDIT “The film version of Mario Puzo's The Godfather, is a sickening masterpiece. It's the gangster movie come of age. It's a magnificently constructed chronicle of the Mafia and its families.” – Hartford Courant Feb 25, 2021 Full Review
