Bite the Bullet (1975) 69% EDIT “"Bite the Bullet" is too long, with a tendency to wander from its central plot-line; but its classic story of struggle and hope amounts to good escapist fare.” – Baltimore Sun Jan 15, 2026 Full Review Death Race 2000 (1975) 80% EDIT “"Death Race 2000" is a grimly amusing satire.” – Baltimore Sun Dec 19, 2025 Full Review Hearts of the West (1975) 91% EDIT “Jeff Bridges is, as always, engaging.” – Baltimore Sun Nov 22, 2025 Full Review Peeper (1975) 30% EDIT “The movie adds up to little more than a conglomeration of frantically unfolded scenes, trying vainly to find some reason for their existence.” – Baltimore Sun Nov 22, 2025 Full Review The Wiz (1978) 38% EDIT “Despite the energetic performances, the magic created by gorgeous settings in Panvavision and Technicolor and the stimulating soundtrack in stereo, the thing drags.” – Baltimore Sun Nov 18, 2025 Full Review Dracula (1979) 64% EDIT “The difference between the film and the stage production is so great as to make one want to cry.” – Baltimore Sun Oct 21, 2025 Full Review Hard Times (1975) 72% EDIT “It is an engrossing film as far as it goes. One only wishes it had gone a little farther.” – Baltimore Sun Sep 25, 2025 Full Review Cooley High (1975) 83% EDIT “It is, in short, friendly, funny, tender and touching; and I strongly recommend it.” – Baltimore Sun Aug 15, 2025 Full Review High and Low (1963) 97% EDIT “The pain of the manufacturer's dilemma... is graphically portrayed through Kurosawa's studies of the agonized face of that admirable actor Toshiro Mifune who, as usual, is excellent in the central role.” – Baltimore Sun Aug 13, 2025 Full Review Superman II (1980) 88% EDIT “As directed by Richard Lester, "Superman II" moves with a speed appropriate to its title, and the result is a film that, while placing no strain on the intellect, holds one's attention most of the time.” – Baltimore Sun Jun 25, 2025 Full Review Rollerball (1975) 56% EDIT “The story may lack logic, but it has been clothed in such splendid raiment that one longs to overlook the fact.” – Baltimore Sun Jun 5, 2025 Full Review Night Moves (1975) 78% EDIT “Hackman's performance make it all seem worthwhile, giving a work that is essentially a stock thriller the illusion of sensitivity and depth.” – Baltimore Sun May 28, 2025 Full Review The Stepford Wives (1975) 55% EDIT “After limping along for three-quarters of the picture, director Bryan Forbes desperately endeavoring to build suspense without ever quite engaging the spectator's emotions, the action plunges headlong into the realm of sci-fi fantasy and disaster.” – Baltimore Sun May 2, 2025 Full Review Funny Lady (1975) 55% EDIT “The film is a relatively weak attempt to repeat the success of "Funny Girl," upon which it leans practically to the point of plagiary. ” – Baltimore Sun Apr 24, 2025 Full Review Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980) 93% EDIT “As the thing wore on... crescendo upon crescendo, my attention began to lag. And after two or so hours, I found myself wishing that Luke, Han, Leia, Chewbacca and even C-3PO and R2-D2 would take their troubles to another universe.” – Baltimore Sun Apr 23, 2025 Full Review Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977) 94% EDIT “The film itself is consistently spectacular. But it is the humor, arising from the robots and 20-year-old Miss Fisher's kookie performance, as the princess, that saves the day.” – Baltimore Sun Apr 22, 2025 Full Review Brannigan (1975) 48% EDIT “It is solid Wayne.” – Baltimore Sun Apr 12, 2025 Full Review Supervixens (1975) 49% EDIT “Doubtless, Meyer meant his absurd picaresque tale of sex and violence to be funny, but it defies even laughter.” – Baltimore Sun Apr 11, 2025 Full Review Sheila Levine Is Dead and Living in New York (1975) 34% EDIT “Sheila falls somewhere between a genius and a schlemiel... and the actress is understandably at a loss to make any real sense of her.” – Baltimore Sun Apr 9, 2025 Full Review 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) 90% EDIT “Though this experience can hardly be considered either profound or -- for the science-fiction addict, I suspect -- particularly enlightening, it is interesting and often exciting.” – Baltimore Sun Apr 9, 2025 Full Review Capone (1975) 32% EDIT “I am willing to recommend -- with great reservations -- "Capone."” – Baltimore Sun Apr 8, 2025 Full Review Rancho Deluxe (1975) 62% EDIT “Its appeal lies not so much in the plot (hardly original) as in the incidental touches of Mr. McGuane and director Frank Perry, the brilliantly conceived non-stock characters and their interpretation by the actors.” – Baltimore Sun Mar 27, 2025 Full Review Tommy (1975) 71% EDIT “Almost every scene is a cartoon carried to the ultimate in exaggeration and absurdity.” – Baltimore Sun Mar 18, 2025 Full Review The Prisoner of Second Avenue (1975) 51% EDIT “There are not as many laughs as in the original, but it is considerably more bearable.” – Baltimore Sun Mar 12, 2025 Full Review Report to the Commissioner (1975) 55% EDIT “The plot contains some unlikely, and even illogical, developments, but it commands the attention throughout. ” – Baltimore Sun Mar 12, 2025 Full Review
