Jaws (1975) |
The film's punch doesn't rely on unmitigated gore. Spielberg is inclined to tease us with false alarms so that the real thing explodes with heart-stopping shock. - San Francisco Examiner

The Bingo Long Traveling All-Stars and Motor Kings (1976) |
Williams is delightful as the brash cheerful pitcher and Jones is a perfect foil as the idealistic catcher, an ardent disciple of William E.B. Du Bois and a devout adherent of honesty and fair play. - San Francisco Examiner

One Sings, the Other Doesn't (1977) |
The film is beautifully photographed, but it is curiously empty, perhaps because of its exclusion of men from any serious human consideration. - San Francisco Examiner

Sisters (1973) |
Unhappily, no trace of the tension and horror that characterize Hitchcock's work emerges from this listless and often dull tale. - San Francisco Examiner

Annie Hall (1977) |
Though Annie Hall is an essentially serious work, there is no trace of ponderous, heavy-handed pretension in it. In fact, the humor is sidesplitting and only on a subliminal level does the viewer realize the sadness and pain under the surface. - San Francisco Examiner

The Sting (1973) |
Purists might say with justice that a great deal of the complicated plot is preposterous. But it matters very little, since the film is filled with charm, not the least of which is Scott Joplin's lively ragtime score. - San Francisco Examiner

Won Ton Ton, the Dog Who Saved Hollywood (1975) |
The film might have been enormously entertaining. But [Winner's] clumsy and essentially humorless approach to the film's fragile material ultimately does it in. - San Francisco Examiner

The Legacy (1979) |
Ross and Elliott deliver the kind of wooden, stilted performances necessitated and even demanded by the material. - San Francisco Examiner

Simon (1980) |
Though his film is seriously flawed, Briekman shows a gift for perceptive social comment, lively urban humor and a sardonic sense of the idiocies of the modern world. - San Francisco Examiner

Heroes (1977) |
The poorly written script by James Carabatsos and the weak direction by Jeremy Paul Kagan tend to obscure the charm of the two protagonists and to leave a viewer unmoved by their plight. - San Francisco Examiner

Lifeguard (1976) |
Sensitively directed by Daniel Petrie, the film relies for most of its charm on the low-key sexiness of Elliott's performance. - San Francisco Examiner

Scorpio (1973) |
Lancaster brings a resigned, world weary charm to his role of the fugitive and the devastatingly handsome Delon is subtly sinister as his nemesis. - San Francisco Examiner

Freebie and the Bean (1974) |
These two gifted actors... totally fail to make their bestial roles charismatic or even moderately appealing. - San Francisco Examiner

The French Connection (1971) |
[It's] a brilliantly crafted, trigger-fast, explosive thriller about two New York City detectives who uncover multi-million dollar dope smuggling ring. Director William Friedkin imparts stunning suspense and spine-tingling excitement to the story. - San Francisco Examiner
