The Devil Horse (1926) 100% EDIT “It is a play of many thrills, but chief among them is the meeting of horse and master after many years. ” – Detroit Free Press Mar 21, 2023 Full Review Steamboat Bill, Jr. (1928) 96% EDIT “Buster's old stage talents as an acrobat are brought into frequent use, notably in a storm of cyclonic proportions In which he is blown about from one hazardous point to another, in and out of the river, on and off of tumbling buildings and whatnot.” – Detroit Free Press Mar 21, 2023 Full Review Frankenstein (1931) 94% EDIT “[James Whale] is to be complimented upon his handling of the incidents chosen from the book, and the artistry with which he has built up the picture. ” – Detroit Free Press Jan 18, 2023 Full Review The Rogue Song (1930) 79% EDIT “The scenes are in color, the settings are artistic, the direction by Lionel Barrymore carefully done and the story dramatic and thrilling, but every one of these details is likely to be considered non-essential in the memory of [Tibbett's singing].” – Detroit Free Press Jun 29, 2022 Full Review The Way of All Flesh (1927) 88% EDIT “Great care has been shown in the backgrounds for this photodrama and meticulous attention to detail has been exercised.” – Detroit Free Press Jul 14, 2021 Full Review Gold Diggers of Broadway (1929) 93% EDIT “It is a production which everyone should see, for it represents the latest word in the fast-moving progress of the new show world of the screen and provides the most lavish, beautiful and satisfying entertainment the screen has yet offered.” – Detroit Free Press May 20, 2021 Full Review The Great Gatsby (1926) 52% EDIT “Fitzgerald has certainly exposed to the public view modern life as one strata of society lives it. And the producers of the picture have made the presentation mode vivid.” – Detroit Free Press May 19, 2021 Full Review The Power and the Glory (1933) 86% EDIT “Mr. Tracy's gifts for dramatic work, such as he did in the legitimate theater before he began his picture career, are stressed in the role of Garner which he encompasses with splendid effect.” – Detroit Free Press May 13, 2021 Full Review Modern Times (1936) 98% EDIT “Several high spots stand out as notable examples of Chaplin's expert timing of slapstick burlesque, scenes that are apt to make the spectator shed tears from the strain of laughter.” – Detroit Free Press May 6, 2021 Full Review All Quiet on the Western Front (1930) 98% EDIT “All Quiet on the Western Front will grip you and leave an indelible mark upon your soul.” – Detroit Free Press Apr 8, 2021 Full Review Queen of the Nightclubs (1929) 56% EDIT “It is the same sort of entertainment you would get at Tex's own place in New York and a lot less expensive.” – Detroit Free Press Mar 9, 2021 Full Review The Jazz Singer (1927) 77% EDIT “Coupled with the acting of Jolson. and the wonders of the Vitaphone, in which the synchronization is so good as to suggest further interesting developments in the way of talk pictures, [the film] provides about all the enjoyment that could be hoped for.” – Detroit Free Press Feb 25, 2021 Full Review Wings (1927) 94% EDIT “The picture is almost too real. It brings war so terribly near and makes so fearsomely true the awfulness of combat in the air, even while it thrills and draws homage for those whose skill and courage accomplish such marvelous feats.” – Detroit Free Press Feb 9, 2021 Full Review Great Expectations (1934) EDIT “The settings of old London are a delight in themselves. The film should be given high rating in every detail.” – Detroit Free Press Feb 1, 2021 Full Review Convention City (1933) 86% EDIT “Its humor is not gentle nor its lines polite, but it is so badly funny and true to its theme that despite Its frequent roughness there is nothing to do but loin the laugh parade and enjoy Its wildness to the end.” – Detroit Free Press Jan 4, 2021 Full Review 4 Devils (1928) 82% EDIT “An excellently staged and exceptionally well photographed picture.” – Detroit Free Press Dec 3, 2020 Full Review A Night at the Opera (1935) 97% EDIT “There is a tremendous amount of talent hidden beneath the vitality and boisterousness of the Marx boys.” – Detroit Free Press Nov 20, 2020 Full Review
