Withnail and I (1987) 84% EDIT “Both leads, Richard Grant and Paul McGann, are new to film, and because they give such confident, controlled comic performances, it seems near-impossible that they're not already established stars.” – Washington Post Apr 4, 2025 Full Review Only Yesterday (1933) 100% EDIT “It embraces moments of delightful comedy and intervals of good-natured banter between mother and small son that are pat ya disarming in their warm and appealing spirit of an ideal camaraderie.” – Washington Post Apr 17, 2024 Full Review The Black Pirate (1926) 100% EDIT “[The Black Pirate is] one of the greatest Fairbanks pictures ever done -- and then some. For The Black Pirate is done throughout in technicolor and the redoubtable Doug out-"Dougs” himself in his wild gyrations between heaven and earth.” – Washington Post Mar 22, 2023 Full Review My Four Years in Germany (1918) 95% EDIT “In telling the dramatic story of the history of the last four years... no textbook or lecture could possibly equal in completeness in lasting power or in the recital of the graphic sequence of events the film version of My Four Years in Germany.” – Washington Post Nov 16, 2022 Full Review Daughter of the Dragon (1931) 71% EDIT “Not the least noteworthy aspect of the picture’s distinction lies in the return of Sessue Hayakawa to the screen.... He is now back and thrice welcome, for his. return brings to the screen a proven actor, a tragedian of the first water and an old friend.” – Washington Post Oct 21, 2022 Full Review 4 Devils (1928) 82% EDIT “A word must be added for the cameraman, whose shots from above of the circus interior are exceptionally fine.” – Washington Post Jul 25, 2022 Full Review Mickey (1918) 100% EDIT “There is something for every taste in this photoplay spectacle that represents the highest achievement of one of the foremost directors in America.” – Washington Post Jun 2, 2021 Full Review The Dragon Painter (1919) 91% EDIT “A simple story of great beauty and appeal, The Dragon Painter is distinguished by... striking photographic studies and gorgeous settings.” – Washington Post May 18, 2021 Full Review Damaged Goods (1914) 86% EDIT “[Damaged Goods is] staged with a great attention to detail and with the delicate plot handled in a manner to produce the most telling effect while at the same time skirting the borders of impropriety.” – Washington Post Mar 12, 2021 Full Review The Edison Minstrels (1913) 67% EDIT “There practically was no effort of voice inflection and the action In the pictures was forced.” – Washington Post Jan 28, 2021 Full Review Daughter of the Gods (1916) 90% EDIT “The battle scenes are stupendous and beyond the scope of brief and hurried descriptions Thousands of people seem to have been employed... all of whom contribute to the dramatic strength of a mastodon among multi-reel screen plays.” – Washington Post Dec 4, 2020 Full Review The Battle Cry of Peace (1915) 100% EDIT “[The Battle Cry of Peace,] aside from its spectacular features and its entertainment qualities, is undisguised propaganda for a vastly bigger navy and a greatly augmented mobile army.” – Washington Post Sep 28, 2020 Full Review Safety Last (1923) 97% EDIT “Safety Last is a seven-reel mirth maker that follows an entirely new trend, culminating in a series of the most astonishing stunts on the sheer wall of a skyscraper that any camera ever has caught and, by the same token, wrecking the nervous system.” – Washington Post Sep 2, 2020 Full Review Hearts of the World (1918) 95% EDIT “Exquisite in pathos, tremendous in the scope of its visualization of the debacle of the trenches and without a peer in photographic beauty.” – Washington Post Aug 13, 2020 Full Review Carmen (1915) 78% EDIT “The fight between Carmen and another girl in the factory is remarkably realistic -- and apparently exceedingly painful to the girl assigned to the part.” – Washington Post Jul 25, 2020 Full Review Cabiria (1914) 93% EDIT “This is the first time that audiences here have had an opportunity to see the last word in moving pictures... the most magnificent film ever produced.” – Washington Post Jun 19, 2020 Full Review
