The Devil Dancer (1927) 71% EDIT “It is all very seriously accomplished, and sometimes quite excellently in an atmospheric way. But, save for those occasional lilting moments when Miss Gray is, to put it plainly, doing her stuff, the story borders on the ludicrous.” – New York Post Dec 6, 2023 Full Review Ten Modern Commandments (1927) 90% EDIT “Nobody on earth, probably, can do much to vary this aged formula, and though Miss Arzner now and again does manage to slip in a nice bit, the picture as a whole is rather dull.” – New York Post Jun 25, 2022 Full Review London After Midnight (1927) 75% EDIT “It's not dull and it's not thrilling.” – New York Post Jan 11, 2022 Full Review The Way of All Flesh (1927) 88% EDIT “Are the early and middle portions of the picture good enough to outweigh the atrocious third section in which every known tear-inducer but the homely onion is tossed at the audience? Thinking it over calmly, we are inclined to answer in the affirmative.” – New York Post Jul 14, 2021 Full Review The Great Gatsby (1926) 52% EDIT “An interesting and intelligent picturization of a good novel.” – New York Post May 19, 2021 Full Review The Jazz Singer (1927) 77% EDIT “Sitting through The Jazz Singer is very much like attending a very ordinary musical comedy with one star who happens to be good. The star cannot always be on the scene and the evening develops into a series of long waits.” – New York Post Feb 25, 2021 Full Review Wings (1927) 94% EDIT “A great deal of sentimental and weepy material is thrust into the tale here and there, along with long stretches of what may be termed for want of a better designation, "just war."” – New York Post Feb 10, 2021 Full Review The Private Life of Helen of Troy (1927) 81% EDIT “[The Private Life of Helen of Troy] is a comic-strip version of modern marriage set against a background supposed to represent ancient Sparta and Troy. The incongruity furnishes amusement for about five minutes.” – New York Post Jan 5, 2021 Full Review Rolled Stockings (1927) 73% EDIT “Rolled Stockings, in all probibility, is just a catchy title found lying about the Paramount offices shrieking to be used. It has nothing to do with the story.” – New York Post Nov 3, 2020 Full Review Battleship Potemkin (1925) 100% EDIT “Potemkin tells, with a good deal of striking detail and with considerable pictorial effectiveness, a stern narrative of mutiny and revolt.” – New York Post Oct 8, 2020 Full Review The Cat and the Canary (1927) 94% EDIT “Mr. Leni has screened this ordinary melodrama in so masterly a fashion as to place it among the productions which must been seen by any one interested in moving pictures.” – New York Post Oct 8, 2020 Full Review Faust (1926) 91% EDIT “It can be said without exaggeration that each individual scene in this production is in itself a perfect picture.” – New York Post Oct 7, 2020 Full Review That Royle Girl (1925) 89% EDIT “All this, to be sure, hardly sounds like material for a D.W. Griffith photoplay, but the evidence Is quite indisputable.” – New York Post Sep 29, 2020 Full Review After Midnight (1927) EDIT “Miss Shearer, possessed of more charm and ability than most Hollywood stars, seems doomed to play in productions which do not merit the attention.” – New York Post Sep 23, 2020 Full Review Breakfast at Sunrise (1927) EDIT “Breakfast At Sunrise is only moderately entertaining movie matter, far below the previous standard of both Miss Talmadge and Mr. St. Clair.” – New York Post Sep 22, 2020 Full Review The Living Dead Man (1926) EDIT “Though it is somewhat too long and a trifle tiresome at times there is a mad humor about the film which makes it worth seeing.” – New York Post Sep 22, 2020 Full Review Crainquebille (1922) EDIT “Always delightful.” – New York Post Sep 22, 2020 Full Review Quality Street (1927) EDIT “A delightful affair, beautifully directed by Sidney Franklin and acted by a cast more than competently -- with the exception of Miss Davies herself.” – New York Post Sep 22, 2020 Full Review Hands Up (1926) EDIT “It is a program comedy that is better and certainly much funnier than most such comedies.” – New York Post Sep 22, 2020 Full Review The Sea Beast (1926) EDIT “Some vigorous plying of scissors to the tasteless areas and The Sea Beast could be made into a better-than-average-program picture.” – New York Post Sep 22, 2020 Full Review She's a Sheik (1927) 67% EDIT “A refreshing picture which dares to laugh at movies in general.” – New York Post Sep 22, 2020 Full Review What Price Glory? (1926) 100% EDIT “Creditable, entertaining, often picturesque, if you will, but not a gripping, vital piece of work.” – New York Post Sep 22, 2020 Full Review Man, Woman and Sin (1927) EDIT “Man, Woman And Sin is a thoughtful, intelligent story of youthful disillusionment told entirely in terms of pictures by a director of imagination and skill.” – New York Post Sep 22, 2020 Full Review Barbed Wire (1927) EDIT “Miss Negri's performance throughout the picture Is unusually good, and the work of Clive Brook as the German prisoner is likewise impressive.” – New York Post Sep 22, 2020 Full Review The Road to Yesterday (1925) EDIT “The Road to Yesterday is not, probably, the stupidest picture we ever saw, but it is, nevertheless, very, very dull, and well-nigh unintelligible as well.” – New York Post Sep 22, 2020 Full Review
