Dracula (1979) 64% 3/5 EDIT “What the picture sets out to do -- produce a lot of chills and thrills -- it does most successfully.” – Orlando Sentinel Oct 21, 2025 Full Review Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) 94% 4/5 EDIT “John Williams, who wrote the atmospheric musical backgrounds for Star Wars and Empire, has succeeded again for Raiders.” – Orlando Sentinel May 4, 2023 Full Review Annie Hall (1977) 97% EDIT “Annie Hall is, without a doubt, Woody Allen's funniest and most fully realized motion picture to date, a "now" film for today's sophisticates. ” – Orlando Sentinel Aug 25, 2022 Full Review Kramer vs. Kramer (1979) 90% 4/4 EDIT “Actors Dustin Hoffman and Meryl Streep and one of the most appealing child actors in a long time, Justin Henry, keep Kramer vs. Kramer high above the soap opera level it might so easily have reached in other hands. ” – Orlando Sentinel Aug 5, 2022 Full Review Tess (1979) 81% 4/5 EDIT “Director Roman Polanski has translated Hardy's preoccupation with fate and Victorian morality into the best realization on film yet of any of the novelist's works.” – Orlando Sentinel Jun 16, 2022 Full Review Oliver! (1968) 90% EDIT “The picture is lavishly mounted and photographed in subdued colors and it is easy to see why it got the best picture of the year and five other academy awards.” – Orlando Sentinel Mar 3, 2022 Full Review Excalibur (1981) 73% 3.5/5 EDIT “Packed into its two hours and 20 minutes are all the ingredients of a mighty epic. About the only thing missing is humor, unless some of Merlin's observations or the way he delivers them strike you as funny.” – Orlando Sentinel Dec 29, 2021 Full Review The Secret of NIMH (1982) 93% 4/5 EDIT “The Secret of NIMH should prove that there is still a market for an intelligently made, G-rated family movie.” – Orlando Sentinel Nov 10, 2021 Full Review Bus Stop (1956) 73% EDIT “A hilarious farce.” – Orlando Sentinel Oct 8, 2021 Full Review Ghost Story (1981) 28% 4/4 EDIT “"Ghost Story" is just what its title says it is, a ghost story, and a humdinger of a ghost story at that.” – Orlando Sentinel Sep 19, 2021 Full Review The Hand (1981) 29% 2.5/4 EDIT “The film has all the Ingredients of the classical horror story a creepy score, dark interiors, rainy nights, scenes shot from peculiar angles, slow tracking of the camera. And as long as the ambiguity is maintained, the picture works.” – Orlando Sentinel Aug 11, 2021 Full Review The Border (1982) 65% 3/4 EDIT “It's not a pretty picture, but dramatically, it has considerable impact...” – Orlando Sentinel Aug 6, 2021 Full Review Simon (1980) 60% 3/4 EDIT “It's all wildly wacky, and Brickman's screenplay takes aim at and neatly punctures many over-blown aspects of modem-day American life.” – Orlando Sentinel Jun 23, 2021 Full Review Hopscotch (1980) 80% 4/4 EDIT “A consummate actor whose talents have not been exploited by Hollywood as ably as they should have been, Matthau this time around gets to employ a whole bag of his theatrical tricks, his wry and his sly expressions, and he's great.” – Orlando Sentinel Jun 2, 2021 Full Review The Challenge (1982) 53% 3.5/5 EDIT “A beautifully made, handsomely filmed and thoroughly engrossing action movie that has much more going for it than martial arts.” – Orlando Sentinel Apr 19, 2021 Full Review
