Ace in the Hole (1951) 88% EDIT “Wilder has presented a completely depressing slice of Americana, and the cynicism of his story cuts deep. His characters in almost every case are overdrawn, sometimes to the point of caricature, but there is no doubt that he has created a powerful drama. ” – Toronto Star Feb 3, 2026 Full Review The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951) 93% EDIT “Like other pictures of its type, The Day the Earth Stood Still puts quite a strain on credulity... but it has its fascination nonetheless. ” – Toronto Star Jan 16, 2026 Full Review Gaslight (1944) 94% EDIT “To assist in the freezing of your bloodstream, the producers have told their eerie tale with a splendid cast.” – Toronto Star Jan 13, 2026 Full Review Out of the Past (1947) 87% EDIT “"Out of the Past" serves its purpose.” – Toronto Star Jan 9, 2026 Full Review The Gold Rush (1925) 98% EDIT “A rollicking, appealing, wistful film which... might have been produced in more recent times. Call it a miracle if you will, but the fact remains that there is scarcely a movie in town today that we'd rather seen again than this one.” – Toronto Star Jun 24, 2025 Full Review White Heat (1949) 94% EDIT “It sparks some pretty exciting stuff.” – Toronto Star Apr 22, 2024 Full Review The Lavender Hill Mob (1951) 100% EDIT “Guinness' performance is a sly one, a delightful blending of mousiness and craftiness, and he goes about it in a highly engaging way.” – Toronto Star Apr 18, 2024 Full Review Jailhouse Rock (1957) 67% EDIT “The fact remains that young Mr. Presley has a very hard time winning any sympathy for himself. ” – Toronto Star Apr 12, 2024 Full Review The Big Heat (1953) 95% EDIT “The Big Heat, in spite of its pulp fiction earmarks, is a pretty engrossing crime movie.” – Toronto Star Apr 10, 2024 Full Review Sabrina (1954) 89% EDIT “Sabrina has undergone a lot of changes since Miss Sullavan, in the company of Joe Cotten, first brought her to Broadway last fall. Most of them, we happen to think, are all for the best. ” – Toronto Star Mar 28, 2024 Full Review The Searchers (1956) 87% EDIT “The Searchers may not be one of Ford's best, but its various recognizable ingredients have been stirred together by a hand that knows what it is doing and an imagination that can steer around most of the customary cliches.” – Toronto Star Mar 25, 2024 Full Review Westward the Women (1951) 69% EDIT “Aside from the obvious cracks that can be made about the situation in general, Wellman has constructed a good western which is an answer, if nothing else, to the old charge that there hasn't been a new idea of Western movies since The Covered Wagon.” – Toronto Star Mar 2, 2024 Full Review The Lone Ranger (1956) 90% EDIT “For almost every cliché in the script -- and there are plenty of them in both dialogue and situation -- there is an outburst of sharp brisk action and the whole thing if you don't try to take it seriously is fair enough entertainment.” – Toronto Star Nov 9, 2023 Full Review Back to Bataan (1945) 86% EDIT “As films of this type go, the R.K.O. production ranks above average.” – Toronto Star Feb 1, 2023 Full Review The Master Race (1944) EDIT “For all its high talk, however, it should be judged on its merits as a melodrama, which, to put it charitably, is somewhat confused.” – Toronto Star Dec 15, 2022 Full Review Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo (1944) 100% EDIT “It's a rare and satisfying occasion when a motion picture of the war combines sound drama, reasonable authenticity and good taste. Such, we're glad to report, is the case with Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo.” – Toronto Star Dec 15, 2022 Full Review Sudan (1945) EDIT “An amusing little trifle with no more weight than a balloon.” – Toronto Star Nov 11, 2022 Full Review For Whom the Bell Tolls (1943) 69% EDIT “A few carping critics have said that Mr. Hemingway's novel, while proving to be his finest work, should never have been more than a short story. The screen treatment seems to bear this out.” – Toronto Star Nov 10, 2022 Full Review Meet Me in St. Louis (1944) 99% EDIT “This is the technicolor musical to put all technicolor musicals to shame.” – Toronto Star Nov 10, 2022 Full Review Winged Victory (1944) EDIT “Winged Victory is a vast and moving pageant, a fine salute to the men of the U.S.A.A.F.” – Toronto Star Apr 18, 2022 Full Review
