The Bad News Bears (1976) 89% EDIT “Precocious Tatum O'Neal has some amusing skirmishes with Matthau. But a lot of the youngsters' salty dialogue is not easy to follow.” – Daily Mirror (UK) Mar 26, 2026 Full Review Vanishing Point (1971) 65% EDIT “Make no mistake, Vanishing Point is a good movie which features some of the most exciting car chases ever screened.” – Daily Mirror (UK) Feb 5, 2026 Full Review Death Race 2000 (1975) 80% EDIT “"Death Race 2000," conceived as a comic strip satire, debunks American heroes and institutions in a highly effective manner.” – Daily Mirror (UK) Dec 19, 2025 Full Review Repo Man (1984) 93% EDIT “It is a brilliant first feature, blending frantic slapstick with a wicked perception of life among the American punks.” – Daily Mirror (UK) Dec 8, 2025 Full Review Finders Keepers (1984) EDIT “Director Dick Lester gets some splendid performances from Michael O'Keefe, Beverley D'Angelo, David Wayne and Brian Dennehy.” – Daily Mirror (UK) Dec 8, 2025 Full Review The Terminator (1984) 90% EDIT “Don't look for logic in the story, just marvel at the orgy of destruction.” – Daily Mirror (UK) Dec 8, 2025 Full Review A Christmas Carol (1984) 98% EDIT “The British supporting cast's acting is excellent.” – Daily Mirror (UK) Dec 4, 2025 Full Review Peeper (1975) 29% EDIT “The plot's not easy to follow and there are too many eccentric characters who don't seem to be sure whether they are playing for laughs or menace.” – Daily Mirror (UK) Nov 22, 2025 Full Review The Wiz (1978) 38% EDIT “As a magical experience, "The Wiz" qualifies as enchantment that never woz.” – Daily Mirror (UK) Nov 18, 2025 Full Review Tron (1982) 60% EDIT “The film is a splendid, mind-boggling sci-fi adventure.” – Daily Mirror (UK) Oct 6, 2025 Full Review Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977) 94% EDIT “A great big mind-blowing spectacular that sprinkles the viewer's fantasies with star dust, takes him on a trip through Space and deposits him, two hours later, with his feet on the ground and his mind still in the clouds.” – Daily Record (UK) Apr 22, 2025 Full Review The Duellists (1977) 74% EDIT “The Duellists is that cinema rarity -- a superbly-acted adventure epic boasting an intelligent script and marvellous photography of setting which seem to have been painted by Old Masters.” – Daily Mirror (UK) Nov 21, 2023 Full Review Alien (1979) 93% EDIT “Alien is an ingenious, nail-biting, don't-look-now suspense thriller which makes other Space adventures look like tantrums in a nursery.” – Daily Mirror (UK) Nov 16, 2023 Full Review The Red Circle (1970) 96% EDIT “This entertaining French-made film has no frills, but plenty of thrills. ” – Daily Mirror (UK) Oct 24, 2023 Full Review They Might Be Giants (1971) 61% EDIT “The plot, in gathering too many nuts into the maze, eventually gets lost in a welter of symbolism.” – Daily Mirror (UK) Oct 24, 2023 Full Review The Last Picture Show (1971) 98% EDIT “This amusing and beautifully acted film brings to life realistically the mood of the early fifties in America. ” – Daily Mirror (UK) Oct 24, 2023 Full Review The Exorcist (1973) 78% EDIT “It is not for the squeamish. Avoid seeing it after a heavy meal. It also happens to be a technically brilliant film, acted with such persuasive realism as to make the bizarre events totally credible and absorbing. ” – Daily Mirror (UK) Sep 27, 2023 Full Review The Heartbreak Kid (1972) 92% EDIT “ Eddie Albert is superb as the vinegar-faced, suspicious and possessive father.” – Daily Mirror (UK) Feb 22, 2022 Full Review
