The Last Detail (1973) Gabe Leibowitz The interaction, dialogue, and parent/child-esque relationships are very well done, if somewhat repetitive.

65/100
The Clock (1945) Gabe Leibowitz Billed in some circles as the original Before Sunrise, Vincente Minnelli's The Clock doesn't come particularly close to reaching those hallowed grounds, but its structure and conclusion certainly make the comparison understandable.

House of Flying Daggers (2004) Gabe Leibowitz House of Flying Daggers has all the visual extravaganza of Hero but thrice its emotional heft, putting it on par with Ang Lee's extraordinary CTHD.

1/5
The Untouchables (1987) Gabe Leibowitz Too campy for its topic matter...Costner is typically dull as a 75 year-old unsharpened sword.

Posted Jan 06, 2004  Edit critic review

Posted Dec 22, 2003  Edit critic review

Crooklyn (1994) Gabe Leibowitz Standard Spike Lee fare, which means it comes with its high and low points.
Posted Dec 22, 2003  Edit critic review
3/5
Europa, Europa (1990) Gabe Leibowitz The shower scene still sends shivers up my spine, and it's been years since I've seen it.
Posted Dec 22, 2003  Edit critic review
4/5

Posted Dec 22, 2003  Edit critic review
4/5

Posted Dec 22, 2003  Edit critic review
2/5
Sisters of the Gion (1936) Gabe Leibowitz Mizoguchi presents similar themes MUCH more powerfully in Ugetsu or Sansho the Bailiff; here, it falls flat
Posted Dec 22, 2003  Edit critic review
3/5
Jules and Jim (1962) Gabe Leibowitz Far too cute and ridiculous for its own good, yet riddled with so many strong points that it can't be overlooked.
Posted Dec 22, 2003  Edit critic review
3/5
Variety Lights (1950) Gabe Leibowitz Delightfully charming and whimsical, if nowhere near as consequential as Fellini's best.
Posted Dec 22, 2003  Edit critic review

Posted Dec 22, 2003  Edit critic review
2/5
The Last Boy Scout (1991) Gabe Leibowitz Overblown rubbish, with nothing to hang on to save the opening football field scene
Posted Dec 22, 2003  Edit critic review
2/4
The Tracker (2002) Gabe Leibowitz Though certainly not without merit, Rolf de Heer's The Tracker commits the cardinal sin of cinema; it's excruciatingly boring a good chunk of the time.

4/5
On the Waterfront (1954) Gabe Leibowitz Extremely polished and featuring another powerhouse effort from Brando.
Posted Sep 29, 2003  Edit critic review
5/5
The Young and the Damned (1950) Gabe Leibowitz One of the most powerful of all coming-of-age films, Los Olvidados is Luis Buuel's first masterpiece, a blend of surrealism and horrific neorealism which implants itself in the viewer's mind for days. It's criminal there's not a Region 1 DVD available,
