The Farmer (1977)

Joe Leydon

The Farmer is beneath contempt, much less serious criticism.

Pete's Dragon (1977)

Joe Leydon

Pete's Dragon, this year's big holiday attraction from Walt Disney Productions, is a glossy and generally entertaining musical fantasy which parents can enjoy just as much as their children certainly will.

Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978)

Joe Leydon

Despite a few creepy moments and some fascinating special effects, the remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers is a disappointment.

Magic (1978)

Joe Leydon

Hopkins is very impressive -- he learned ventriloquism for the film, and uses the art most effectively. But it is the emotional impact which he scores that lifts his performance beyond mere trickiness and up to the level of masterwork.

Islands in the Stream (1977)

Joe Leydon

Islands in the Stream is best when it centers on people instead of plot. The film is blessed with a marvelously literate script (by Denne Bart Petitclerc), and fine actors who bring that script to life.

Blue Collar (1978)

Joe Leydon

The best performance comes from Richard Pryor, mainly because his role is the most carefully conceived and developed.
