Wattstax (1973) 90% EDIT “There isn't enough music, but Stax have at least had the wit to hire Richard Pryor to deliver one of his characteristic monologues (the rest of the time is filled out by chats with the denizens of Watts). Much good music all the same.” – Time Out Dec 18, 2020 Full Review Execution in Autumn (1972) EDIT “A spare masterpiece.” – Sight & Sound Mar 17, 2020 Full Review Ice (1970) 82% EDIT “A film that has gained hugely with the passage of time.” – Time Out Jul 6, 2010 Full Review Live and Let Die (1973) 67% EDIT “Two hours long and anti-climactic, but Bond fans won't be disappointed.” – Time Out Jun 24, 2006 Full Review The Man With the Golden Gun (1974) 40% EDIT “Roger Moore's interpretation of Bond is blandness personified.” – Time Out Jun 24, 2006 Full Review The Heartbreak Kid (1972) 92% EDIT “Wittily directed by May, and neatly scripted by Neil Simon.” – Time Out Jun 24, 2006 Full Review The Mother and the Whore (1973) 94% EDIT “Three-and-a-half hours of people talking about sex sounds like a recipe for boredom; in Eustache's hands, it is anything but.” – Time Out Feb 9, 2006 Full Review The Incredible Sarah (1976) 30% EDIT “Glenda Jackson emotes effectively enough through a series of cameo pieces from the classics, but is floored by the bits in between.” – Time Out Feb 9, 2006 Full Review Lifeguard (1976) 53% EDIT “Given direction that tends toward the same stolid beefiness as Sam Elliott's over-the-hill-at-thirty lifeguard, this still manages to perform an interesting autopsy on the psyche of the American male.” – Time Out Feb 9, 2006 Full Review King Creole (1958) 96% EDIT “Curtiz's intelligent, austere, film noir-ish direction provides the perfect antidote to the occasional excesses of a script based on a Harold Robbins novel, and an ideal complement to Presley's performance.” – Time Out Feb 9, 2006 Full Review Drum (1976) 11% EDIT “Much of the blame rests with the chaotic and clumsy script fashioned from Kyle Onstott's potboiling bestseller.” – Time Out Jan 26, 2006 Full Review The Devil, Probably (1977) 85% EDIT “Its case is presented rather than argued: one buys its cosmic bleakness or one doesn't, but there is no doubt about the conviction with which it is put.” – Time Out Jan 26, 2006 Full Review The Neverending Story (1984) 84% EDIT “A fairytale of the very best kind.” – Time Out Jan 26, 2006 Full Review Orca (1977) 10% EDIT “There is some startling footage, but Anderson's direction dithers perceptibly, and finally opts for an unpleasant mish-mash of phony ecological concern and meretricious sensationalism.” – Time Out Jan 26, 2006 Full Review Frances (1982) 68% EDIT “Farmer, as scripted here and played by Lange, unsurprisingly remains something of a cypher.” – Time Out Jan 26, 2006 Full Review
