	Lucía (1969) + Portrait of Teresa (1979) Lumiere Film Review
		Each episode is filmed in a distinctive visual style which translates the spirit of each historical era, with the themes of love, death and war achieving epic proportions.
		If anything the film serves a dishful of thought about the expectations that people have of each other – whether they be male or female, married or not, with families or without.
		One of the great films of the 60s from anywhere, Lucía was acclaimed worldwide as the "Gone With the Wind of the Cuban film industry," and has never really disappeared from the repertory of potent political drama.

	L'Adolescente / The Adolescent / Jeanne Moreau / 1979 / Film review
		This, her second film, is an uncompromising and somewhat nostalgic look at sexual awakening in a young girl, set in the beautiful locale of the French provincial countryside.
		Whilst visually the film is impressive, and we are treated to a fine performance from another former acting legend, Simone Signoret, the film does lack depth and intimacy.
		The latter half of the film when the young Marie becomes envious of her mother and conspires to rekindle the passion between her parents has some touching moments but feels cold and contrived.

	Cinsher Film Stills
		Her film stills look and function just like the real ones—those 8-by-10-inch glossies designed to lure us into a drama we find all the more compelling because we know it is not real.
		In the Untitled Film Stills there are no Cleopatras, no ladies on trains, no women of a certain age.
		This insured that this landmark body of work was preserved in its entirety in a single public collection.

	Apocalypse Now (Marlon Brando, Martin Sheen, Robert Duvall, 1979) - A Film Review By Peter Veugelaers - Movies on EntertainmentNutz.com - What Are You Nutz About?
		There is no redemption from war according to this film and no forgiveness for the instigators of American involvement in the Vietnam War.
		Especially witty is the film’s ascent into farce, which works as a powerful way of communicating the defeatism of violence.
		Under these circumstances, naturally the medicine for this predicament is death – the recipe Kurtz believes is the answer.

	Bring 1979 teen film OVER THE EDGE to DVD Petition
		The Bring 1979 teen film OVER THE EDGE to DVD Petition to Warner Brothers or MGM Home Video was created by and written by Timothy Burchett (bat115@sbcglobal.ne).
		We, the undersigned, petition MGM Home Video or Warner Brothers to release to dvd, a Special Edition of the 1979 film Over The Edge in the WIDESCREEN format.
		Not only was this the first film to showcase the talents of Matt Dillon, it is also one of the few to treat teen angst with such seriousness that is absent from teen-aimed films today.

	Alien (1979) Film Review - MovieWeb
		In some sense, it's wonderful to see a twenty year old film imagine a future that has, in many ways, already come and gone, gazing back at those bland, faded-green computer readouts with nary a graphic to be seen, when only wireframe was the best CG around.
		Yes, indeed, this newest release of this classic film is every bit an improvement upon a thriller that's already difficult to improve upon, and if you've an ounce of sense, you'll head out to see it on the big screen.
		It was the "how." With a painterly eye and a manic pace, Scott gave the shadows of the starship Nostromo a pulse of their own, a nearly intangible breath, with just enough darkness to conceal the slick grace of the Alien onboard.

	French culture cinema: La Rosiere de Pessac, by Jean Eustache
		He returned in 1979 to film the ceremony again, documenting the change in times and mores.
		"If the 1968 film and the 1979 version are more than merely interesting on their own," wrote the late Alain Philippon in his book on Eustache, "the contrast between the two is breathtaking."
		Right before the events of May 1968, Eustache went back to the village where he was born, and made a film faithfully recording a charming ceremony: a contest to crown the town's most virtuous young girl (La Rosière of the title).

	Scum - film starring Ray Winstone (1979)

	The Nick Schager Film Project: Zombie (1979): B+
		Zombie (1979): B+ Originally titled Zombie 2 as a craven attempt to piggyback on the success of Night of the Living Dead, Lucio Fulci’s Zombie has nothing to do with George A. Romero’s undead classic, though that doesn’t mean it’s not without its gruesome charms.
		The Italian goremeister’s breakthrough film features not a single believable character or plot point, no semblance of narrative cohesion or momentum, scraggly editing, horribly dubbed dialogue and a deadening lack of subtext.
		Yet via a few satisfyingly blood-splattered set pieces and some nice panoramic shots of voodoo-spawned zombies shuffling through a dusty Caribbean shantytown and emerging from the graves of centuries-old Spanish conquistadors, Fulci’s film nevertheless achieves a ghastly sort of brilliance.

	Abba - In Concert 1979 - DVD film: Totaltiorden.dk
		It seems as if this was a documentary filmed for television in the format it is edited, so be prepared.
		The first few songs are not complete in entirety and there is quite a bit of editing for on-the-scenes- commentary about the excitement of doing their first tour.
		This is not like a "Bee Gees-One Night Only" concert or an "Eagles Farewell" tour that goes from song to song without interruption.

	At-A-Glance Film Reviews: Moonraker (1979)
		The return of Jaws, from the previous film, was a good idea, but doing what they did with the character was not.
		It was certainly the intent of the producers to cash in on the space film craze.
		Moonraker's goofiness was judged artistically wrong, and however much money it had made, the next film would be more like Bond's more serious roots.

	The Grand Dames of the Horror Film: Maria Ouspenskaya and Una O’Connor
		In the 1933 film reprise of the role, her character is easily the film’s most appealing and real.
		Though the film is uneven, sometimes brilliant, sometimes only adequate, the chemistry between Larry and Maleva is just as solid and real as in their first outing, making F.M.t.W.M. another of the better Universals of the ‘40s.
		Other interesting film appearances include another benevolent grandmother in Ronald Reagan’s signature film, Kings Row (1942), the Amazon Queen(!) in Tarzan and the Amazons (1945), and parts in the ghost movie Beyond Tomorrow (1940) and the western Wyoming (1947).
