Anastasia (1956) 92% EDIT “Whether or not the mystery has any historical value, the film version of it is never dull. ” – The Age (Australia) Mar 5, 2026 Full Review Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961) 87% EDIT “The whole thing could be straight from the pages of the "New Yorker" and Miss Hepburn does full justice to its slightly cockeyed lyricism.” – The Age (Australia) Mar 4, 2026 Full Review THX 1138 (1971) 72% EDIT “It seems cruel to say it, but the most exciting bit is not a part of the film at all but a prologue extracted from the Buck Rogers serial.” – The Age (Australia) Feb 20, 2026 Full Review Vanishing Point (1971) 65% EDIT “Vanishing Point's vrroom-vrroom footage is gripping; its message and inevitable finale left me cold.” – The Age (Australia) Feb 5, 2026 Full Review A Face in the Crowd (1957) 95% EDIT “Kazan presents the maneuverings behind the TV screen with savage, satiric force. ” – The Age (Australia) Feb 4, 2026 Full Review Arabesque (1966) 78% EDIT “Practically every shot in the film Is taken through a mirror, a glass tank...or something else of the sort that happens to be at hand. And this overwrought style reduces the film, in turn, to a mere reflection of the entertainment it could have been.” – The Age (Australia) Feb 3, 2026 Full Review Bite the Bullet (1975) 69% EDIT “It's a bullet worth biting.” – The Age (Australia) Jan 15, 2026 Full Review The Magnificent Seven (1960) 93% EDIT “John Sturges has a fine eye for visually dramatic effects in colored CinemaScope, and the romantic-heroic image is well conveyed.” – The Age (Australia) Jan 14, 2026 Full Review Peeper (1975) 29% EDIT “Quite early on, the endless weak plot complications and soon become a heavy millstone around its neck.” – The Age (Australia) Nov 22, 2025 Full Review The Wiz (1978) 38% EDIT “No myth-making magic here.” – The Age (Australia) Nov 18, 2025 Full Review Death Race 2000 (1975) 80% EDIT “It makes its satirical points economically, with great stunting, and at 1 1/4 hours does not outstay its welcome despite the gory carnage on the roads.” – The Age (Australia) Oct 8, 2025 Full Review Hennessy (1975) EDIT “Two-thirds of the film are a rather dull warm-up.” – The Age (Australia) Oct 8, 2025 Full Review Superman: The Movie (1978) 87% EDIT “Reeve manages a satirical edge at the expense of Superman's self-righteous, goody-goody perfection. He handles the cartoon-bubble dialogue with just the right range of knowing expressions.” – The Age (Australia) Jul 8, 2025 Full Review Rollerball (1975) 56% EDIT “This mock-serious, fashionable, feeble "protest" against barbarity in leisure and sterility in life feeds on its own brutality, almost as though it were programed as a two-hour commercial to popularise a new sport.” – The Age (Australia) Jun 5, 2025 Full Review Night Moves (1975) 78% EDIT “This is a most intriguing film, if ultimately inconclusive and unsatisfactory. ” – The Age (Australia) May 28, 2025 Full Review The Stepford Wives (1975) 55% EDIT “Its characterisation is mostly dull, and visually it is uneventful, to say the least.” – The Age (Australia) May 2, 2025 Full Review Brannigan (1975) 47% EDIT “It's a modestly holding slice of cops and robbers.” – The Age (Australia) Apr 12, 2025 Full Review Supervixens (1975) 49% EDIT “Evidently Russ now has pretentions to caricature, if not satire -- on dirty cops and aggressively liberated women. He strives for a super-comic. All he manages is a kind of vicious facetiousness.” – The Age (Australia) Apr 11, 2025 Full Review 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) 90% EDIT “The film gives a graphic impression, as no predecessor has done, of the relative magnitude of the craft and the limitless universe itself.” – The Age (Australia) Apr 9, 2025 Full Review Capone (1975) 32% EDIT “This is skin-deep stuff... no new light is shed on the underworld king, or the 1920s” – The Age (Australia) Apr 8, 2025 Full Review Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975) 92% EDIT “There are uninspired lapses... and there are rich and hilarious moments of the absurd. A review cannot help turning into a catalogue of the hits rather than the misses.” – The Age (Australia) Apr 1, 2025 Full Review At Long Last Love (1975) 23% EDIT “With one toneless exception this cast cannot even enunciate, although the wit of the Porter lyrics demands to be heard distinctly.” – The Age (Australia) Mar 25, 2025 Full Review Tommy (1975) 71% EDIT “I only wish the astonishing Mr. Russell would not lay on the symbols quite so thick... so that any soul-searching message had a chance to emerge through the non-stop clamor.” – The Age (Australia) Mar 18, 2025 Full Review The Prisoner of Second Avenue (1975) 52% EDIT “If you give a genuinely bitter role to Jack Lemmon, he will make it too disturbingly real for comfort.” – The Age (Australia) Mar 7, 2025 Full Review Nashville (1975) 89% EDIT “Mostly an exhilarating experience -- funny, deadly satire, rich in pieces of character the feeling of immediacy. I have seldom gone all the way with the off-beat Robert Altman. But I accept this juggled jigsaw as a splendidly original statement.” – The Age (Australia) Feb 27, 2025 Full Review
