Superman: The Movie (1978) 87% EDIT “Christopher Reeve is perfect in physical appearance for the title role and he manages to play the open honestness and naivete without losing credibility.” – The Hollywood Reporter Dec 10, 2021 Full Review Buck Rogers in the 25th Century (1979) 25% EDIT “Frank Beascoechea's Technicolor photography is perfectly slick and glossy, and the film has been edited to an ideal 89 minutes by John J. Dumas.” – The Hollywood Reporter Apr 9, 2019 Full Review Blazing Saddles (1974) 89% EDIT “Mel Brooks has come up with his most outrageous comedy to date in the brilliantly funny Blazing Saddles.” – The Hollywood Reporter Feb 8, 2019 Full Review Raging Bull (1980) 92% EDIT “Scorsese goes overboard in an attempt at low-keyed naturalism, however, and there is little dramatic structure to the biographical overview... But there's no denying the power and artistry of De Niro's performance.” – The Hollywood Reporter Dec 26, 2018 Full Review Smokey and the Bandit (1977) 72% EDIT “While the joke wears thin very quickly, there are a number of amusing sequences, which are combined with some exciting road action to provide a mildly entertaining - and totally mindless - film.” – The Hollywood Reporter May 21, 2018 Full Review Airplane! (1980) 97% EDIT “The level of humor is not always consistent, but the filmmakers have thrown almost everything in with a shotgun approach and the routines work more often than not.” – The Hollywood Reporter Jul 3, 2017 Full Review Being There (1979) 95% EDIT “Sellers has never been better and he embellishes the detached, childlike innocence of this character with perfect style and timing. It's a deceptively simple performance, but it is essentially the core and substance of the film.” – The Hollywood Reporter Dec 19, 2016 Full Review Batman (1989) 77% EDIT “Batman is a stunning achievement, especially through the incredible and unique visualization of director Tim Burton.” – The Hollywood Reporter Jul 6, 2015 Full Review Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977) 94% EDIT “[Star Wars] will undoubtedly emerge as one of the true classics in the genre of science fiction/fantasy films. In any event, it will be thrilling audiences of all ages for a long time to come.” – The Hollywood Reporter Jun 23, 2015 Full Review Friday the 13th (1980) 68% EDIT “It's blatant exploitation of the lowest order.” – The Hollywood Reporter Nov 2, 2014 Full Review Halloween (1978) 97% EDIT “Carpenter obviously knows the genre well and he builds a properly terrifying atmosphere through his well-paced direction. It's an effective entry for its intended market.” – The Hollywood Reporter Nov 2, 2014 Full Review
