Bite the Bullet (1975) 69% 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) 64% 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) 72% 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) 55% 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) 48% 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) 22% 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) 60% 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 The Conversation (1974) 94% EDIT “Chillingly, because it once seemed so far away, it is now only 10 years until 1984 when Big Brother is supposed to be watching. In the meantime, Harry Caul is listening.” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Sep 24, 2024 Full Review Apocalypse Now (1979) 91% EDIT “The best motion picture of the year. "Apocalypse," so powerful that it thunders with intensity, also shimmers in its own dramatic beauty, repulses in its brutal horror, and mesmerizes in its towering acting performances.” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Sep 23, 2024 Full Review Planet of the Apes (1968) 86% EDIT “It certainly is one of the year's top 10 pictures -- the best science-fiction since 2001: A Space Odyssey.” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com May 1, 2024 Full Review The Devil's Brigade (1968) 57% EDIT “The Devil's Brigade -- fascinating in its first half and full of bloody warfare action in its second half -- is sure to enthrall the Dirty Dozen followers and capture a new batch of viewers on its own.” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com May 1, 2024 Full Review Dog Day Afternoon (1975) 96% EDIT “The fact is, as one of the screen's most versatile and major talents today, Pacino can hold any audience in, I would suppose, any role he would choose.” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Apr 7, 2024 Full Review Lady Sings the Blues (1972) 73% EDIT “It is difficult to describe acting, but the key word would be "believability." Miss Ross gives us this throughout.” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Apr 5, 2024 Full Review
