Napoleon (1927) 87% EDIT “Directed by one Abel Gance, who is held to be a great, great genius of the French cinema, it is revealed as pretty awful stuff; acted by hams and equipped with a banal and frightful story which all but nauseates those who know anything about M. Bonaparte.” – Baltimore Sun May 14, 2024 Full Review The Broadway Melody (1929) 42% EDIT “See The Broadway Melody. Your informant has a sneaking idea that it will mark some sort of an epoch in picture making. Its very delving into the musical comedy field and the success of its effort make such a supposition reasonable.” – Baltimore Sun May 14, 2024 Full Review The Devil Horse (1926) 100% EDIT “The Devil Horse, reel for reel, is as filled with thrilling situations and incidents as possible. Yakima Canutt, the world's champ cowboy and a riding fool, is the young hero. What he lacks in movie looks he makes up for in his rough riding.” – Variety Mar 21, 2023 Full Review London After Midnight (1927) 75% EDIT “The film, especially in those episodes in the house of the vampires, has a creepy, loathsome quality that is at once eerie, repulsive, fascinating and powerful. Therein lies much of its strength.” – Baltimore Sun Jan 11, 2022 Full Review The Way of All Flesh (1927) 88% EDIT “It is not a brilliant picture, but it is a good one. Victor Fleming, the director, has wisely eschewed all efforts at copying the methods of those German films which first brought Jannings into prominence.” – Baltimore Sun May 20, 2021 Full Review EDIT “The performance which Mr. Barrymore gives in The Man from Blankley's is an admirable thing, subtle and sure.” – Baltimore Sun Mar 9, 2021 Full Review Merton of the Movies (1924) 81% EDIT “Aside from the fact that Merton of the Movies represents the astounding spectacle of the movie Industry making fun of itself, it also represents the greatest piece of film to come from the F.-P. studios since The Ten Commandments.” – Variety Feb 5, 2021 Full Review That Royle Girl (1925) 89% EDIT “It is the poorest thing Griffith has turned out in a great many years.” – Variety Sep 29, 2020 Full Review The Dark Angel (1925) 100% EDIT “A rare, fine up and outstanding audience feature; produced with taste and care, and in its two leading roles, cast ideally.” – Variety Sep 18, 2020 Full Review Beggar on Horseback (1925) 88% EDIT “The settings can't be given too much praise, for they are original and beautiful as well as inspiring at times. That same praise goes for the technical work and the direction, in fact, for everything about the film but its general effect.” – Variety Sep 17, 2020 Full Review A Sainted Devil (1924) 67% EDIT “The picture is not notably produced although it is evident a flock of money has been spent.” – Variety Sep 10, 2020 Full Review Graustark (1925) 83% EDIT “Futuristic in its intent or not, the whole thing is as handsome as the Kohinoor diamond.” – Variety Aug 20, 2020 Full Review The Lady (1925) 86% EDIT “The production is elaborate and well handled, while Miss [Norma] Talmadge does wonders with the title role.” – Variety Aug 19, 2020 Full Review Tess of the D'Urbervilles (1924) 38% EDIT “It should have made an excellent movie. The story is there, the atmosphere is ideal for settings, and the role for a dramatic actress has never been surpassed. But here it is only fair.” – Variety Jul 18, 2020 Full Review So Big (1924) 75% EDIT “That it is one of the most artistic pictures ever produced Is beyond question. That it is the medium wherein Colleen Moore exceeds the wildest expectations by her portrayal of an old woman is also indisputable.” – Variety Jul 6, 2020 Full Review
