Assault on Precinct 13 (1976) 94% EDIT “Carpenter had little time or money to meander off the point, so it possesses an expositional leanness that would not stand the loss or a single scene.” – PopMatters Jul 29, 2005 Full Review Bonjour Tristesse (1958) 84% EDIT “While some may be put off by Preminger's glossy presentation of the idle rich, his direction in Bonjour Tristesse engages the mind while it stimulates the senses.” – PopMatters Jan 9, 2004 Full Review The Red Circle (1970) 96% EDIT “Melville remained, in all his work and particularly his policiers, a classicist of calamity, a master of transforming the chaos of criminality into a form as refined as a sonnet or a minuet.” – PopMatters Dec 5, 2003 Full Review The Man Who Laughs (1928) 100% EDIT “The Man Who Laughs demonstrates that, however much we gained with sound, we lost opportunities that arise when storytelling prioritizes vision.” – PopMatters Nov 6, 2003 Full Review Bizarre, Bizarre (1937) 78% EDIT “A daffy romp.” – PopMatters Nov 1, 2003 Full Review The Crazies (1973) 68% EDIT “Admittedly, the film is not Romer's best work... Nonetheless, Romero's subversive attitude and the vigorous momentum of the action keep one's focus, first scene to last.” – PopMatters Jul 2, 2003 Full Review The Killers (1946) 100% EDIT “Siodmak captures both the romance and world-weariness of the post-WWII film noir with consummate skill.” – PopMatters Apr 4, 2003 Full Review Victim (1961) 100% EDIT “The wealth of detail about gay life at the time and the often adverse public perception of homosexual behavior ensures Victim's lasting fascination as a social document.” – PopMatters Mar 28, 2003 Full Review The Adventuress (1946) 80% EDIT “A gleeful amalgam of hijinks and heroism.” – PopMatters Mar 28, 2003 Full Review Real Genius (1985) 77% EDIT “This picture remains blissfully aloft, borne by engaging actors and a warm heart.” – PopMatters Jul 12, 2002 Full Review Chop Suey (2001) 70% EDIT “In the end, what resonates is the fragile yet unfailing grace of the human spirit embodied by Weber's subjects.” – PopMatters Dec 28, 2001 Full Review Diamond Men (2000) 80% EDIT “The pleasure that these two men share in one another's company, both as characters and performers, radiates through every frame.” – PopMatters Oct 19, 2001 Full Review Something Wild (1986) 92% EDIT “Demme never loses sense of his destination and, more the point, is always willing to take a detour, convinced that something unexpected and exhilarating is available at the end of the road.” – PopMatters Aug 16, 2001 Full Review Big Trouble in Little China (1986) 71% EDIT “The film is probably best characterized by a comment from a review quoted in the DVD commentary by Kurt Russell: 'Absolutely fabulous and terminally hip.'” – PopMatters Jun 27, 2001 Full Review
