Pal Joey (1957) 89% EDIT “The film...also throws in a lot of Rodgers & Hart tunes that weren't in the original, but with Frank Sinatra singing such reliable R & H hits as "There's a Small Hotel," "I Didn't Know What Time It Was," etc., no one should complain about origin.” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Apr 1, 2026 Full Review The Bad News Bears (1976) 89% EDIT “It's a funny picture. Matthau is always fine.” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Mar 26, 2026 Full Review The Howling (1981) 76% 2/4 EDIT “The Howling is a step above your B-genre horror flick because of its inventive and frightening transformation makeup... Alas, the rest of the picture is on par with, well, the almost weekly deluge of horror-and-gore flicks of the past three years.” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Mar 18, 2026 Full Review Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961) 87% EDIT “Matter of fact, from its odd-ball title to its fadeout, there's never quite been a picture like "Breakfast at Tiffany's." It defies classification.” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Mar 5, 2026 Full Review THX 1138 (1971) 72% EDIT “It's a film fascinating in its concept, visually stunning in its execution.” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Feb 20, 2026 Full Review Days of Heaven (1978) 93% 4/4 EDIT “Writer-director Terrence Malick has given us a montage of stunningly beautiful scenes that can only be labeled the work of an artist.” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Feb 4, 2026 Full Review Bite the Bullet (1975) 68% EDIT “Hackman turns in another of his superior performances.” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Jan 15, 2026 Full Review The Magnificent Seven (1960) 93% EDIT “..."The Magnificent Seven" is one of the most rugged, most entertaining, he-men, gun-slinging westerns to come out of Hollywood in many a day.” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Jan 15, 2026 Full Review The Wiz (1978) 38% EDIT “One yearns for a little ray of sunshine amid all the Technicolored opulence that Lumet has photographed in subdued tones.” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Nov 18, 2025 Full Review Dracula (1979) 63% EDIT “"Dracula" is gory to a fault, but there is a lot of acting going on, and the production is mounted with extreme artistic beauty.” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Oct 21, 2025 Full Review Tron (1982) 60% 3/4 EDIT “A fascinating piece of futuristic movie-making.” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Oct 3, 2025 Full Review Hard Times (1975) 71% EDIT “Bronson pulls off the most of his remarkable performance with a minimum of words and a maximum of sheer visual acting excellence.” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Sep 26, 2025 Full Review Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1987) 16% EDIT “Christopher Reeve is still a winning Man of Steel... But the script department, perhaps understandably, is running out of gas.” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Jul 2, 2025 Full Review Superman II (1980) 88% 4/4 EDIT “The entire picture, as expected, is a marvel of special effects, but there's much more to Superman II. It has acting (really), it has storyline and indeed...it has everything.” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Jun 26, 2025 Full Review Rollerball (1975) 56% EDIT “Jewison's film is a masterwork in every facet.” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Jun 5, 2025 Full Review The Stepford Wives (1975) 56% EDIT “British director Forbes has done an excellent job on the picture throughout.” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com May 2, 2025 Full Review Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980) 93% EDIT “The picture thunders with laser beams, exploding space ships and light sword battles. It shimmers in magnificence with its gleaming hardware. There is a rather unsatisfactory ending, but, after all, we have been informed this is a continued tale.” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Apr 23, 2025 Full Review Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977) 94% EDIT “Oh, wow! Let that two-word accolade stand tall in summation for Star Wars, easily the best movie in town this summer and perhaps destined to be the best of 1977.” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Apr 22, 2025 Full Review Brannigan (1975) 46% EDIT “Attenborough, always a fine actor, offers just the right balance to the Wayne character in a film of interesting contrasts and an ample amount of action scenes.” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Apr 11, 2025 Full Review 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) 90% EDIT “I found it to be dazzling to the eye, plush well worth the wait. It is, in my opinion, a milestone movie, superbly and amazingly filmed, the consummate sci-fi film.” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Apr 9, 2025 Full Review Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975) 92% EDIT “The six author-actors play practically all of the roles themselves, and just "who is whom" hardly seems to matter. Suffice to say all are funny.” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Apr 1, 2025 Full Review At Long Last Love (1975) 23% EDIT “You expect more from Bogdanovich. Or, you did two pictures ago.” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Mar 25, 2025 Full Review The Great Waldo Pepper (1975) 59% EDIT “Hill has fashioned both a beautiful and warmly humorous film. ” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Mar 3, 2025 Full Review Barry Lyndon (1975) 78% EDIT “Filmed in a poetic, loving majesty that makes each frame of the film stand out like a priceless painting, it is quite clearly the masterwork of master movie-maker Stanley Kubrick and the picture that he'll have to shoot at from now on.” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Feb 25, 2025 Full Review Shampoo (1975) 75% EDIT “Beatty and Warden turn in excellent performances.” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Feb 10, 2025 Full Review
