A Place in the Sun (1951) 90% EDIT “"A Place in the Sun" will definitely be nominated for an Academy Award and if anyone personally deserves an honor of this kind it is Elizabeth Taylor, who is not yet 20 years old.” – Tampa Bay Times Jan 13, 2026 Full Review Alice in Wonderland (1951) 83% EDIT “When one... [imagines] just what must be done, and how many pictures made, to get the effects of Alice in Wonderland, it leaves him breathless. But even this is forgotten as the picture unwinds with a realism that is almost uncanny. ” – Tampa Bay Times Jan 9, 2026 Full Review White Heat (1949) 94% EDIT “Whether you like the fellow or not, Cagney wins your admiration in White Heat, a fast-moving crime picture that doesn't give an inch right up to its dramatic finish.” – Tampa Bay Times Apr 23, 2024 Full Review The Lavender Hill Mob (1951) 100% EDIT “The picture is hilarious, excellently timed.” – Tampa Bay Times Apr 18, 2024 Full Review The Big Heat (1953) 95% EDIT “The Big Heat commands attention, deserves plaudits... The picture matches the rootin tootin' West in gunfire and excitement, although the setting is a sophisticated city where any thing can and does happen.” – Tampa Bay Times Apr 10, 2024 Full Review Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953) 88% EDIT “Jane Russell is a standout, showing more talent than in any of her former pictures. ” – Tampa Bay Times Mar 8, 2023 Full Review Gentleman's Agreement (1947) 82% EDIT “Casting is perfect, from the mightiest roles to the smallest. No detail is omitted, and the plot, a close teamwork of love and problem, is so arresting it holds the audience spellbound.” – Tampa Bay Times Nov 16, 2022 Full Review Stalag 17 (1953) 91% EDIT “Though its setting is grim, [Stalag 17] rises above its unhappy circumstances to become one of the funniest comedy-melodramas of the year.” – Tampa Bay Times Nov 5, 2022 Full Review How Green Was My Valley (1941) 93% EDIT “How Green Was My Valley is as poignantly beautiful as any picture you ever will see. ” – Tampa Bay Times Jul 26, 2022 Full Review From Here to Eternity (1953) 88% EDIT “The surprise of the film is Sinatra, as the likable Private Maggio. The scene you won't forget is Montgomery Clift sounding taps for him.” – Tampa Bay Times Mar 17, 2022 Full Review You Can't Take It With You (1938) 94% EDIT “One of the outstanding movie hits of the season.” – Tampa Bay Times Feb 8, 2022 Full Review All the King's Men (1949) 97% EDIT “[Broderick Crawford] rises to full stature as an actor, reaching such a terrific height that one must wonder if he can match it in his next pictures.” – Tampa Bay Times Nov 30, 2021 Full Review Them! (1954) 93% EDIT “Edmund Gwenn is such a convincing old actor that he and his scientific calculations have you actually believing in the 8-feet-high ants bringing terror and destruction in Them!” – Tampa Bay Times Sep 28, 2021 Full Review Rear Window (1954) 99% EDIT “One of the best in the cast is Thelma Ritter, insurance company nurse who pays Stewart daily visits. Wendell Corey is excellent; so is Raymond Burr, the menace in this picture.” – Tampa Bay Times Jun 8, 2021 Full Review An American in Paris (1951) 95% EDIT “No, the plot isn't new, but steeped in a Parisian atmosphere, with oo la la and all that, the story is very, very gay and enjoyable.” – Tampa Bay Times Apr 13, 2021 Full Review On the Waterfront (1954) 99% EDIT “The story is as fresh and terrifying as today's newspapers.” – Tampa Bay Times Apr 8, 2021 Full Review All About Eve (1950) 99% EDIT “The entire cast is noteworthy, with each player striving to outshine the others. Scenes unfold with natural ease, leaving no doubt that what develops in the story can happen anywhere.” – Tampa Bay Times Apr 2, 2021 Full Review Lillian Russell (1940) EDIT “Lillian Russell is a good picture and Darryl F. Zanuck has done a good job producing it.” – Tampa Bay Times Jan 13, 2021 Full Review
