The Conversation (1974) 94% EDIT “As a thriller alone, The Conversation would be worth our attention. But as a thriller which also expresses our actual and collective nightmares, it absolutely demands it.” – Wall Street Journal Aug 11, 2022 Full Review Love and Death (1975) 100% EDIT “It’s good-natured laughter, too, deriving in large part from simply sharing in Allen’s sheer pleasure in travesty, in being slightly disrespectful to what we have learned to revere.” – Wall Street Journal Aug 10, 2022 Full Review Blume in Love (1973) 70% EDIT “The film almost loses sight of poor Blume and turns into a social satire. As such, however, it fails to expose very much or to take a very clear stand toward the social trends it dramatizes.” – Wall Street Journal Aug 10, 2022 Full Review A Touch of Class (1973) 86% EDIT “While it’s a bit too predictable, a bit too obvious in its sentiments to pull on the heartstrings of us all, most of the time it does manage to be funny enough to take in almost anyone.” – Wall Street Journal Aug 10, 2022 Full Review The Phantom of Liberty (1974) 85% EDIT “Superb and marvelously witty.” – Wall Street Journal Aug 10, 2022 Full Review Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977) 94% EDIT “A gigantic, lavish, brilliantly executive old-time movie comic strip.” – Wall Street Journal Nov 16, 2015 Full Review Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983) 83% EDIT “Lucas has once again recycled the B movies of his youth: jungle movies, gangster movies, pirate movies, you name it. He culls bits from them that still have oomph and mounts them with a Sesame-Street zap.” – Wall Street Journal Nov 16, 2015 Full Review Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980) 93% EDIT “A Star Wars that has not only lost much of its humor and charm but more important a good deal of its innocence, traveling in the process light years away from the shiny first magnitude of its original world.” – Wall Street Journal Apr 11, 2001 Full Review
