Bite the Bullet (1975) 69% EDIT “Despite its extra length and its marked tendency to be smug, it is a generally entertaining movie that comes along just as fans of the Western have reason to despair that Westerns will ever be entertaining again.” – Detroit Free Press Jan 15, 2026 Full Review The Wiz (1978) 38% EDIT “It offers the kind of big, brassy spectacle we don't get much at the movies any more.” – Detroit Free Press Nov 17, 2025 Full Review Predator 2 (1990) 36% 1/4 EDIT “The formula for this disappointing sequel to 1987's Predator: Subtract Arnold Schwarzenegger and suspense, then add high-intensity gore, sensationalistic glimpses of urban rot and silly allegory.” – Detroit Free Press Oct 31, 2025 Full Review Cooley High (1975) 83% EDIT “Thanks largely to the spirited performances of the two leads, Glynn Turman and Lawrence-Hilton Jacobs, "Cooley High" asserts itself as a valuable piece of work.” – Detroit Free Press Aug 15, 2025 Full Review Babe (1995) 98% EDIT “If you love Charlotte's Web, you'll adore Babe. It's a barnyard fable that, like E.B. White's classic book, eschews whimsy and sentimentality in favor of the right stuff: humor, heart and high drama.” – Detroit Free Press Jul 23, 2025 Full Review DuckTales, the Movie: Treasure of the Lost Lamp (1990) 66% 2/4 EDIT “Strictly for tots.” – Detroit Free Press Jul 17, 2025 Full Review Superman: The Movie (1978) 87% EDIT “What was fun in the comic books, what is still fun in the comic books 40 years later, is also fun in the movie. The fun is scaled up, to be sure. The fun is spectacular. But it is never snide, never mocking.” – Detroit Free Press Jul 8, 2025 Full Review Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1987) 16% EDIT “The entire enterprise seems tired, almost dispirited. ” – Gannett News Service Jul 2, 2025 Full Review Rollerball (1975) 56% EDIT “"Rollerball" is really too transparently fraudulent a movie to fool anyone at all.” – Detroit Free Press Jun 5, 2025 Full Review The Stepford Wives (1975) 55% EDIT “"The Stepford Wives" allows only tendrils of eeriness to disrupt the bland normalcy of its facade.” – Detroit Free Press May 2, 2025 Full Review Funny Lady (1975) 55% EDIT “Beyond the key performances and the fantastically eye-catching costumes... impressions generated by the movie splinter in kaleidoscopic fashion.” – Detroit Free Press Apr 24, 2025 Full Review Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002) 62% 3/4 EDIT “The imagery is breathtaking in both its inventiveness and scope.” – Detroit Free Press Apr 23, 2025 Full Review Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977) 94% EDIT “Then there is the story, combining romance, high adventure, and, above all, humor, and telling us that good will triumph over evil. We are ready to hear that again. We are ready to see that happen again at the movies. ” – Detroit Free Press Apr 22, 2025 Full Review Supervixens (1975) 49% EDIT “Meyer has chosen to make a new pitch for power with a picture called "Supervixens," which could be deemed contemptible if it were not so flat-out boring.” – Detroit Free Press Apr 11, 2025 Full Review 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) 90% EDIT “Great blobs of brilliant color smear and splinter into each other, giving birth to seemingly endless varieties of new shapes and shades, in this flight on the wings of Stanley Kubrick's wild, wild, wildest imagination.” – Detroit Free Press Apr 9, 2025 Full Review Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975) 92% EDIT “Predictably, even dependably, the new film by the group that calls itself Monty Python's Flying Circus is, like their first effort, something completely different. and, for those with high respect for nonsense, it is something completely marvelous.” – Detroit Free Press Apr 1, 2025 Full Review Rancho Deluxe (1975) 62% EDIT “Director Frank Perry's talent bites the dust in this cutesy Western comedy. That flaw is a malnourished script.” – Detroit Free Press Mar 27, 2025 Full Review At Long Last Love (1975) 22% EDIT “The movie might have had its moments if Bogdanovich had permitted pros such as Miss Kahn, Miss Brennan and Hillerman to carry some of the 16 musical numbers on their own.” – Detroit Free Press Mar 25, 2025 Full Review Tommy (1975) 71% EDIT “The imagery is so wildly fantastic, so overblown, so out of control, that is has a numbing effect. ” – Detroit Free Press Mar 18, 2025 Full Review Report to the Commissioner (1975) 55% EDIT “Both script and direction are far more thoughtful and inventive than average.” – Detroit Free Press Mar 12, 2025 Full Review Mr. Ricco (1975) 30% EDIT “Martin steps into a format equally banal and far more offensive than that of the Matt Helm movie series.” – Detroit Free Press Mar 7, 2025 Full Review Nashville (1975) 89% EDIT “Much of what Altman has discovered in the making of earlier films comes together in Nashville, a complex, exquisitely orchestrated, kaleidoscopic examination of an American city with its unique culture.” – Detroit Free Press Feb 27, 2025 Full Review The Yakuza (1974) 49% EDIT “In this film, Pollack explores something far more interesting than a cultural hybrid. He explores a cinematic hybrid. "The Yakuza" turns out to be a thinking man's action picture.” – Detroit Free Press Feb 26, 2025 Full Review Barry Lyndon (1975) 78% EDIT “One gets the idea, fleetingly, that Kubrick intended Barry Lyndon to be a frostily intellectual, elegant spoof of formalized period adventure dramas... Could be. But only the filmmaker knows for sure.” – Detroit Free Press Feb 25, 2025 Full Review Barbarella (1968) 65% EDIT “It all sums up to ninety-eight minutes of weird, wild, wonderful fun, with a few deliciously chilling shudders thrown in for good measure. ” – Detroit Free Press Feb 12, 2025 Full Review
