Vanishing Point (1971) 65% EDIT “"Vanishing Point" is a strangely fascinating film.” – Honolulu Advertiser Feb 5, 2026 Full Review Days of Heaven (1978) 93% EDIT “It is a flawed film, but still an important gemstone on the movie scene, and certainly a banquet for the eyes.” – Honolulu Advertiser Feb 4, 2026 Full Review The Wiz (1978) 38% EDIT “It dares to be different, but different is the only way to go. Therein lies its brain, its heart, its courage.” – Honolulu Advertiser Nov 17, 2025 Full Review Dracula (1979) 63% EDIT “When it is romantic, "Dracula" is quite a pleasure.” – Honolulu Advertiser Oct 21, 2025 Full Review Tron (1982) 60% EDIT “It is an exciting family adventure, a tad weak on story, but terrifically conceived and executed. ” – Honolulu Advertiser Oct 6, 2025 Full Review Hard Times (1975) 72% EDIT “The fight scenes offer crunching realism, handsomely photographed with dramatic impact by Philip Lathrop.” – Honolulu Advertiser Sep 26, 2025 Full Review Superman II (1980) 88% EDIT “...[Superman II] is every bit as good as the original. Possibly better, except the quality of color is slightly out of kilter - with muddy tones in some frames.” – Honolulu Advertiser Jun 27, 2025 Full Review Rollerball (1975) 56% EDIT “"Rollerball" is a fresh, exciting, absorbing and fascinating glimpse at power play of the future.” – Honolulu Advertiser Jun 5, 2025 Full Review Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980) 93% EDIT “"Empire" quickly suggests that Lucas has a vision that will make him the storyteller of the decade, an absolute and astounding inventor of circumstances and surroundings.” – Honolulu Advertiser Apr 23, 2025 Full Review Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977) 94% EDIT “A cinematic toy, a blissful concoction of wit and imagination, the brainchild of George Lucas of American Graffiti fame. It quickly is becoming everybody's movie of the year -- and add me to the list. But rightfully so: It is an out of this world delight.” – Honolulu Advertiser Apr 23, 2025 Full Review 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) 90% EDIT “It may seem ponderously pretentious to assume that man will be up, up and away like that, but Kubrick's foreplay is enriching and extraordinarily perceptive, if nothing else. Indeed, he tells it like it possibly will be -- with authority.” – Honolulu Advertiser Apr 9, 2025 Full Review Escape to Witch Mountain (1975) 87% EDIT “Whimsy is what makes all of this nonsense work, and director John Hough has fashioned a yarn that misses no tricks.” – Honolulu Advertiser Mar 19, 2025 Full Review The Prisoner of Second Avenue (1975) 52% EDIT “Melvin Frank's direction is sure and steady, letting Simon's comedy flow from the special performers assembled here.” – Honolulu Advertiser Mar 7, 2025 Full Review The Great Waldo Pepper (1975) 60% EDIT “Because the aerial sequences are truly exciting, it's worth a visit to "Waldo Pepper"” – Honolulu Advertiser Mar 3, 2025 Full Review Nashville (1975) 89% EDIT “Nashville is an eye-opener. A think piece. A mind-boggler. A smashville.” – Honolulu Advertiser Feb 27, 2025 Full Review Barry Lyndon (1975) 78% EDIT “It is Kubrickian from the start, with a style and texture and a grandiose flavor all of its own. It defies categorizing; it dazzles. But it also bores. It is, surely, a film worth your time -- but only if you have the patience.” – Honolulu Advertiser Feb 25, 2025 Full Review The Song Remains the Same (1976) 40% EDIT “The on-stage performance, shot at Madison Square Garden in New York, is explosive and emotive, chronicling the sweaty involvement of a two-hour wing-ding before thousands of loyal supporters.” – Honolulu Advertiser Feb 19, 2025 Full Review Barbarella (1968) 65% EDIT “Barbarella... is so far out, it's in -- camp art, if you will. ” – Honolulu Advertiser Feb 12, 2025 Full Review Shampoo (1975) 75% EDIT “Beatty's cache of performers is the reason the film works: Everyone's marvelous. ” – Honolulu Advertiser Feb 10, 2025 Full Review The Conversation (1974) 94% EDIT “[The Conversation] succeeds on three fascinating levels -- as statement, as story, as topical experience. ” – Honolulu Advertiser Sep 24, 2024 Full Review Apocalypse Now (1979) 91% EDIT “As entertainment, "Apocalypse" is spectacular and seductive, a fictional travelogue through the nightmares of warfare, with threads of reality blended with fantasy.” – Honolulu Advertiser Sep 23, 2024 Full Review Jaws (1975) 97% EDIT “In directing Jaws, 27-year-old Steven Spielberg quickly thrusts himself into the front of the pack of skillful moviemakers. He attempts to balance the horror with humor, surprising us with terror at every other turn. ” – Honolulu Advertiser Jul 2, 2024 Full Review Planet of the Apes (1968) 86% EDIT “I can believe that man is less superior than monkey, but this joke is carried too far and too long.” – Honolulu Advertiser May 1, 2024 Full Review Chinatown (1974) 98% EDIT “It is toned and polished to emulate the Thirties Detective Yarn. And yes, it's worth a visit. But pass the word -- don't spill the beans.” – Honolulu Advertiser Mar 8, 2024 Full Review Grease (1978) 65% EDIT “It is harmless, humorous and haunting in its own way. And again, John Travolta is the magnet. The magic. The marvel. ” – Honolulu Advertiser Feb 8, 2024 Full Review
