The Awful Truth (3.5 stars)
Sometimes a film is so unforgettable that I never do. Other times, I’m perfectly engaged, but recall very little of it. Were I to watch it again, I may be reminded of what I liked about it in the first place. However, right now, I cannot recall the details enough to make a specific statement on the film, nor do I know where the write-up for it would have disappeared to.

In Old Chicago (3.5 stars)

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (3.5 stars)
This is the film that started it all: feature animation on the big screen. It’s bold. It’s inventive. It’s nearly perfect as early animation goes. I don’t really know that there isn’t anyone out there who hasn’t already seen it.
