T-METER

"A fine adaptation of Robert Penn Warren's Pulitzer novel."
Posted Aug 16, 2007
 
All the King's Men (1949)96%
/
 
"A wonderfully dry satire."
Posted Jun 24, 2006
 
The Great McGinty (1940)100%
/
 
"Although the characters are basically stereotypes, they are lent the gift of life by a superlative cast."
Posted Jun 24, 2006
 
Key Largo (1948)96%
/
 
"A charmer, nevertheless, directed and acted with real delicacy."
Posted Jun 24, 2006
 
I Remember Mama (1948)93%
/
 
"Out of this familiar premise, Mankiewicz has fashioned a classic film noir."
Posted Jun 24, 2006
 
Somewhere in the Night (1946)89%
/
 
"Wryly and delightfully witty."
Posted Jun 24, 2006
 
La Collectionneuse (1971)88%
/
 
"Ken Adam's sets are inventive, but the special effects are shoddy, the songs instantly forgettable, and the leisurely length an exquisite torture."
Posted Jun 24, 2006
 
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (1968)62%
/
 
"The trouble, as so often with Ritt films, is that the situation remains interesting rather than involving. But at least this detachment means that one has the leisure to savour the textures of Wong Howe's magnificent camerawork."
Posted Jun 24, 2006
 
The Molly Maguires (1970)89%
/
 
"This is a pretty spiffing adventure yarn, with some classically staged fights, terrific performances."
Posted Jun 24, 2006
 
Gunga Din (1939)91%
/
 
"A misbegotten musical adaptation of Dickens' much too perennial tale."
Posted Jun 24, 2006
 
Scrooge (1970)73%
/
 
"Typically slow and stately in the later Stevens manner."
Posted Jun 24, 2006
 
A Place in the Sun (1951)76%
/
 
"The Set-Up, made the same year, is infinitely superior."
Posted Jun 24, 2006
 
Champion (1949)92%
/
 
"Don't look now, but as you might expect with message-mad Kramer at the helm of this adaptation of Katherine Anne Porter's novel, there's a heavy allegory aboard."
Posted Jun 24, 2006
 
Ship of Fools (1965)82%
/
 
"Coppola's style had healthy roots in the screwball comedies of the '30s, and the glorious performances litter the film with moments to treasure."
Posted Jun 24, 2006
 
You're a Big Boy Now (1966)78%
/
 
"Possibly the best of the Carné-Prévert films, certainly their collaboration at its most classically pure."
Posted Jun 24, 2006
 
Le Jour Se Leve (1939)86%
/
 
"Disappointingly lightweight."
Posted Jun 24, 2006
 
Six in Paris (1965)71%
/
 
"It's absolutely riveting."
Posted Jun 24, 2006
 
Two-Lane Blacktop (1971)92%
/
 
"Staged with what passed at the time for honest understatement, it now looks impossibly patronising, the epitome of stiff upper lip."
Posted Jun 24, 2006
 
In Which We Serve (1942)92%
/
 
"First in the wondrous series of B movies in which Val Lewton elaborated his principle of horrors imagined rather than seen, with a superbly judged performance from Simon."
Posted Jun 24, 2006
 
Cat People (1942)94%
/
 
"One of Ritt's best films."
Posted Jun 24, 2006
 
Hud (1963)77%
/
 
"It's fierce and Freudian as well as great cinematic fun, with ample fodder for the amateur psychologist following up on Hitch's tortuous involvement with his leading ladies."
Posted Jun 24, 2006
 
The Birds (1963)97%
/
 
"The film is studded with gems, many of them contributed verbally by the Sturges stock company."
Posted Jun 24, 2006
 
The Sin of Harold Diddlebock (1946)89%
/
 
"Risible script based on a doorstop novel by Henry Morton Robinson, but handled by Preminger with tremendous panache; worth seeing just for the incredible skill and flair with which he stages the action and moves the camera."
Posted Jun 24, 2006
 
The Cardinal (1963)60%
/
 
"A superbly chilling essay in the supernatural."
Posted Jun 24, 2006
 
Don't Look Now (1974)94%
/
 
"A remarkably assured debut for Coen."
Posted Jun 24, 2006
 
Blood Simple (1984)98%
/
 
"A classy thriller, much less laden with significance than most Kazan movies."
Posted Jun 24, 2006
 
Panic in the Streets (1950)94%
/
 
"An attractive serio-comic tale of civic corruption."
Posted Jun 24, 2006
 
The Talk of the Town (1942)93%
/
 
"he last reel, with Wayne explicitly identified as the Prodigal Son and a general collapse into mawkishness, might almost have strayed in from another movie."
Posted Jun 24, 2006
 
3 Godfathers (1948)80%
/
 
"Three of the episodes are rough-and-ready but vigorous Grand Guignol fun."
Posted Jun 24, 2006
 
The House That Dripped Blood (1971)75%
/
 
"This is one of Dassin's best films."
Posted Jun 24, 2006
 
Brute Force (1947)91%
/
 
"Interminably drawn out, with some good special effects but its characters hauled straight out of the cracker-barrel, it has nowhere near the same minatory charge as Spielberg's Duel."
Posted Jun 24, 2006
 
The Car (1977)18%
/
 
"A beguilingly ribald sex comedy, spattered with characteristic Sturges slapstick."
Posted Jun 24, 2006
 
The Lady Eve (1941)100%
/
 
"Coppola's fourth feature, a fascinating early road movie made entirely on location with a minimal crew and a constantly evolving script."
Posted Jun 24, 2006
 
The Rain People (1969)78%
/
 
"Very uncertain in period and atmosphere, and saddled with some terrible performances."
Posted Jun 24, 2006
 
The Brothers Karamazov (1958)38%
/
 
"An awe-inspiringly tedious lump of soggy romanticism."
Posted Jun 24, 2006
 
Ryan's Daughter (1970)47%
/
 
"Classical in its intense simplicity, this is certainly Becker's most perfectly crafted film."
Posted Jun 24, 2006
 
Le Trou (1960)100%
/
 
"It's still a long haul (made no lighter by Franz Waxman's abominably insistent score) for anyone not committed to theological problems of faith, conscience and obedience."
Posted Jun 24, 2006
 
The Nun's Story (1959)93%
/
 
"A little simplistic at times but acidly funny, with Godard's genius for the arresting image once more well to the fore."
Posted Jun 24, 2006
 
Tout Va Bien (1972)57%
/
 
"An underrated musical."
Posted Feb 11, 2006
 
Finian's Rainbow (1968)55%
/
 
"Garbo's last film, graced by some charming scenes and directed with Cukor's usual flair, but hardly sending her off in a blaze of glory."
Posted Feb 9, 2006
 
Two-Faced Woman (1941)43%
/
 
"Wonderful satire on small-town jingoism, all the more remarkable in that it was made during World War II."
Posted Feb 9, 2006
 
Hail the Conquering Hero (1944)100%
/
 
"If you can believe in Sinatra as an 1810 vintage Spanish guerrilla, you can believe anything, but it's still a slog through a platitudinous script."
Posted Feb 9, 2006
 
The Pride and the Passion (1957)14%
/
 
"Despite the fuss at the time, there's little blue about this except the title."
Posted Feb 9, 2006
 
The Moon is Blue (1953)29%
/
 
"All good stuff."
Posted Feb 9, 2006
 
And Now for Something Completely Different (1971)89%
/
 
"The performances (not least from Wayne and Hagen) are matchless."
Posted Feb 9, 2006
 
Adam's Rib (1949)100%
/
 
"Grips like a vice thanks to the skill with which Preminger's stunning mise en scène absorbs documentary detail."
Posted Feb 9, 2006
 
Advise and Consent (1962)82%
/
 
"A reminder that something really was stirring in those days of the British New Wave before it frittered itself away."
Posted Feb 9, 2006
 
This Sporting Life (1963)100%
/
 
"Terrific gangster movie."
Posted Feb 9, 2006
 
The Big Combo (1955)91%
/
 
"Stunningly shot in stark black-and-white by Gianni Di Venanzo."
Posted Feb 9, 2006
 
Salvatore Giuliano (1961)100%
/
 
"Hepburn is magnificent as the small-town social climber, although the script so softens Booth Tarkington's novel."
Posted Feb 9, 2006
 
Alice Adams (1935)93%
