The Bad News Bears (1976) 89% EDIT “If you can tolerate those odious kids, the movie is worth seeing for the sake of Matthau's richly detailed characterization of an ageing rebel against the Saturday Evening Post concept of the good society.” – Toronto Star Mar 26, 2026 Full Review Bite the Bullet (1975) 69% EDIT “Visually and sonically, this super-western is a credit to its genre.” – Toronto Star Jan 15, 2026 Full Review The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951) 93% EDIT “The best yet in the science fiction cycle. ” – Maclean's Magazine Jan 15, 2026 Full Review Death Race 2000 (1975) 80% EDIT “Everybody is a cartoon instead of a third-dimensional individual.” – Toronto Star Dec 22, 2025 Full Review Peeper (1975) 29% EDIT “Director Peter Hyams never seems to make up his mind whether he is trying to make us laugh or trying to chill our spinal columns.” – Toronto Star Nov 21, 2025 Full Review Journey Back to Oz (1974) 30% EDIT “It doesn't even begin to match the quality of its celebrated forerunner.” – Toronto Star Nov 21, 2025 Full Review Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979) 93% EDIT “Oppressively pretentious.” – Toronto Star Oct 23, 2025 Full Review Dracula (1979) 63% EDIT “The script and the direction badly let [Frank Langella] down.” – Toronto Star Oct 23, 2025 Full Review Farewell, My Lovely (1975) 76% EDIT “There is much to enjoy in the production, on the whole I would say the revisions have weakened rather than strengthened the original.” – Toronto Star Oct 8, 2025 Full Review Hard Times (1975) 72% EDIT “A taut, richly atmospheric story about the Great Depression.” – Toronto Star Sep 26, 2025 Full Review Cooley High (1975) 83% EDIT “The characters are more interesting than most of the things that happen to them.” – Toronto Star Aug 15, 2025 Full Review Superman: The Movie (1978) 87% EDIT “It's on a lower level of sheer pleasure than the up-to-now champion, Star Wars. Just the same, Superman is a supershow. It manages to be both funny and exciting.” – Toronto Star Jul 8, 2025 Full Review Rollerball (1975) 56% EDIT “Rollerball is sketchy and under-imagined.” – Toronto Star Jun 5, 2025 Full Review Night Moves (1975) 78% EDIT “Writer Sharp and director Penn seem to be striving for profundities far beyond the scope of the routine private-eye mystery. But it never adds up to anything revealing or important.” – Toronto Star May 28, 2025 Full Review The Stepford Wives (1975) 55% EDIT “Director Forbes and screenwriter William Goldman are in no hurry at all during the first hour of this 114-minute movie and at times the pace lags. But it picks up.” – Toronto Star May 2, 2025 Full Review Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980) 93% EDIT “The special effects in The Empire Strikes Back deserve a whole column to themselves. Lucas and his associates have mastered these arcane skills. Best of all, they make them look easy.” – Toronto Star Apr 23, 2025 Full Review Brannigan (1975) 47% EDIT “The old superstar of Hollywood westerns turns in an amusing job of kidding himself in Brannigan.” – Toronto Star Apr 11, 2025 Full Review Sheila Levine Is Dead and Living in New York (1975) 33% EDIT “Furie's direction is so slow and so heavy in style that we are forced to infer that the film is trying to make a serious and important "statement" about something, although I could never figure out just what.” – Toronto Star Apr 9, 2025 Full Review Sheba, Baby (1975) 28% EDIT “The movie is mostly handled in the shallowest comic-strip style from beginning to end.” – Toronto Star Apr 9, 2025 Full Review Capone (1975) 32% EDIT “The oft-told chronicle unfolds again with the rigid inevitability of a classic ballet, minus the lovely music that usually backs up the dance.” – Toronto Star Apr 8, 2025 Full Review Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975) 92% EDIT “I'll have to go on the record as reporting that the movie, for me, has not just "some" but a lot of "low spots," although without paradox I gladly add that it also has many moments that I found hilarious indeed.” – Toronto Star Apr 1, 2025 Full Review Rancho Deluxe (1975) 62% EDIT “You soon find yourself so fatigued with all the main characters that you cease caring what happens to any of them.” – Toronto Star Mar 27, 2025 Full Review Escape to Witch Mountain (1975) 87% EDIT “It's a charming, suspenseful and often quite funny fantasy-adventure.” – Toronto Star Mar 19, 2025 Full Review Le Samouraï (1967) 92% EDIT “As the noose tightens, theoretically the suspense should increase. It fails to do so in [Le Samouraï] because Jef is such a faceless character that we couldn't care less what happens to him.” – Toronto Star Mar 18, 2025 Full Review Report to the Commissioner (1975) 55% EDIT “Plausibility suffers, and so does the whole movie, in Report to the Commissioner, an overwrought police melodrama.” – Toronto Star Mar 12, 2025 Full Review
