The Karate Kid Part II (1986) 49% EDIT “Karate Kid II is true to the formula of the first film, and handsomely shot in Hawaii, it presents traditional Japanese notions of family loyalty and honor most attractively. ” – The Age (Australia) May 28, 2025 Full Review Only Yesterday (1933) 100% EDIT “Only Yesterday could, of course scarcely fall to be good in view of its outstanding cast -- Margaret Sullavan, John Boles, Billie Burke, Edna May Oliver, young Jimmy Butler.” – The Age (Australia) Apr 23, 2024 Full Review National Velvet (1944) 98% EDIT “It is not overdone, and has a homely atmosphere which makes it attractive.” – The Age (Australia) Mar 25, 2024 Full Review Bringing Up Baby (1938) 97% EDIT “It is Cary Grant's film chiefly, with Charlie Ruggles all too briefly amusing in his jungle calls.” – The Age (Australia) Jul 25, 2023 Full Review The Bitter Tea of General Yen (1933) 86% EDIT “There was little to recommend [it] as pleasant entertainment.” – The Age (Australia) Apr 24, 2023 Full Review The Black Pirate (1926) 100% EDIT “While the theme creates intense interest right through it combines a scenic attractiveness rarely seen.” – The Age (Australia) Mar 22, 2023 Full Review The Dark Angel (1935) 94% EDIT “A powerful climax to a film that starts a little obscurely and develops slowly. ” – The Age (Australia) Mar 9, 2023 Full Review Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) 97% EDIT “Many fine adjectives must be employed to describe it, and they would not be adequate, even though the list include the words lovely, beautiful, exquisite, and marvellous.” – The Age (Australia) Dec 20, 2022 Full Review My Four Years in Germany (1918) 95% EDIT “Throughout, Mr. Gerard's reminiscences are very closely followed... and while at times there are crudities in the presentation -- particularly in in those scenes relating to the horrors of war -- the film contains much that is interesting.” – The Age (Australia) Nov 16, 2022 Full Review The Maltese Falcon (1941) 99% EDIT “A mystery film that rises far above the level of the usual "who-done-its."” – The Age (Australia) Nov 11, 2022 Full Review Meet Me in St. Louis (1944) 99% EDIT “Several catchy old-time tunes are woven into the story, and the color Is delightful; It ls all very gay and diverting and skilful direction Is backed with excellent acting, most notably from Judy Garland and little Margaret O'Brien.” – The Age (Australia) Nov 10, 2022 Full Review King Kong (1933) 97% EDIT “From start to finish it is one big series of exciting spectacles packed with more improbabilities than Jules Verne could ever have encompassed. ” – The Age (Australia) Nov 8, 2022 Full Review Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939) 97% EDIT “Words dominate a Capra film for the first time by design. It is the director's way of showing up Parliament and Its party puppets.” – The Age (Australia) Nov 8, 2022 Full Review The Shop Around the Corner (1940) 99% EDIT “If you like its whimsical style you will certainly delight in the popular players.” – The Age (Australia) Nov 7, 2022 Full Review How Green Was My Valley (1941) 93% EDIT “Pictorially and musically, the film is distinguished, and if the atmospheric continuity tends at one stage to become wearisome, the humor and philosophy of [the characters] amply compensate.” – The Age (Australia) Jul 26, 2022 Full Review Marty (1955) 96% EDIT “Amiable, despairing, elated Ernest Borgnine is splendid as the hero. It is a superb performance.” – The Age (Australia) Oct 18, 2021 Full Review Sunset Boulevard (1950) 98% EDIT “Sunset Boulevard is a triumph for Gloria Swanson, star of the silent days, and now at the top of the ladder in this more difficult talking era.” – The Age (Australia) Oct 11, 2021 Full Review The Philadelphia Story (1940) 100% EDIT “The "story" is otherwise well told in satirical strength, with a cleverness which is refreshing.” – The Age (Australia) Jun 9, 2021 Full Review North by Northwest (1959) 97% EDIT “There are scenes so improbable and goonish without any goonish intent that laughter is the only appropriate reaction.” – The Age (Australia) Jun 8, 2021 Full Review The Last Days of Pompeii (1913) 100% EDIT “[Last Days of Pompeii] is intensely interesting, and furnishes another example of the high standard which has been attained in cinematographic art.” – The Age (Australia) Jun 4, 2021 Full Review The Women (1939) 94% EDIT “Norma Shearer does her work charmingly.” – The Age (Australia) May 24, 2021 Full Review Modern Times (1936) 98% EDIT “Modern Times is a film worth waiting for, and a worthy successor of City Lights. Chaplin's outlook has not changed, and he uses the cinema as a medium with marvellous dexterity.” – The Age (Australia) May 6, 2021 Full Review The Wizard of Oz (1939) 98% EDIT “By its very theatricality, its dramatic punctuation, its irony (in the manner of Lewis Carroll, but with touches of sophistication) and its elaborate scenic scope, The Wizard of Oz makes amazing pantomime.” – The Age (Australia) May 3, 2021 Full Review Rebecca (1940) 98% EDIT “There is beauty and force in the script of Robert E. Sherwood and Joan Harrison, while Alfred Hitchcock's direction is typical of that Englishman's wayward genius in a blend of artistry, fantasy and melodrama.” – The Age (Australia) Apr 12, 2021 Full Review Romeo and Juliet (1916) 100% EDIT “The balcony scene is one of the gems of the performance. The street scenes of Venora are faithfully represented, and the interiors in Juliet's home are especially good.” – The Age (Australia) Mar 5, 2021 Full Review
