The Mad Miss Manton (1938) 84% EDIT “The action is fast and furious. laughs are plentiful, acting good.” – Los Angeles Times Apr 22, 2024 Full Review Road to Ruin (1934) 17% EDIT “The picture becomes a preachment... against parents keeping their daughters in ignorance of life and its complications, and to accentuate the point, situations arise which might be better explained by the family physician than by the public screen.” – Los Angeles Times Apr 15, 2024 Full Review Flower Drum Song (1961) 79% EDIT “The plot is flimsy, but it serves as an adequate framework for the bright dances and some clever songs.” – Los Angeles Times Feb 28, 2023 Full Review Village of the Damned (1960) 93% EDIT “As a Wyndham fan, I found the cinema version less effective than the book, which is not too unusual, in the case of any skillfully written science-fiction tome transferred into pictures. But enough of the horror comes through to satisfy ardent fans. ” – Los Angeles Times Sep 28, 2022 Full Review I Walked With a Zombie (1943) 85% EDIT “Tourneur apparently has that art of generating the "mystic atmosphere," which is so important in these eerie film plays. ” – Los Angeles Times Sep 28, 2022 Full Review A Raisin in the Sun (1961) 90% EDIT “An equally affecting film melodrama larded with warm humor. ” – Los Angeles Times Aug 23, 2022 Full Review The Apartment (1960) 93% EDIT “You can take your choice of adjectives to describe The Apartment.. Here is a partial list: Ironic, satirical, funny, sentimental, bitter and sad.” – Los Angeles Times Mar 9, 2022 Full Review His Girl Friday (1940) 99% EDIT “Miss Russell gives a top-notch portrayal as Hildy. She has the natural enthusiasm and spirit for the job and undoubtedly will score hits with audiences.” – Los Angeles Times Oct 14, 2021 Full Review The Littlest Outlaw (1955) 85% EDIT “Joseph Calleia appears as the padre in whose church the lad takes refuge with his horse, and whose antics with his old automobile provide a good share of chuckles.” – Los Angeles Times Aug 23, 2021 Full Review North by Northwest (1959) 97% EDIT “Grant's technique, so well established, shines brightly under Hitchcock's guidance. The two seem completely en rapport in movie making. Miss Saint, effective in her former sweet or drab roles, makes the switch to glamour as a lovely Mata Hari type.” – Los Angeles Times Jun 8, 2021 Full Review The Defiant Ones (1958) 90% EDIT “One of the best action-suspense movies of the year.” – Los Angeles Times Jan 30, 2021 Full Review Stormy Weather (1943) 95% EDIT “Nicholas Brothers, whose prodigious leaps ending in splits are almost incredible, prove real show-stoppers.” – Los Angeles Times Jan 28, 2021 Full Review
