The Grey
Very Good 17 Points 2012

It’s man (especially Liam Neeson) vs wolf in this intense, bloody and brooding tale that deeply examines the law of the woods amongst the striking beauty of the snowy Alaskan? Wilderness. The climax and ending of the film does what many great stories do, put the viewer in to the position of form…

African Cats
Good 66 Points 2011

Billed as a warm and fuzzy Disney Nature adventure, African Cats instead is a hair-raising, heartrending drama. It profiles two families, a cheetah and her cubs, and a lioness and her cub, each of which is in mortal danger for nearly the entire movie.

There’s nothing necessarily wrong with …

Cmon, what boy hasn’t hankered after the sabertoothed tiger? This brief NatGeo documentary scratches that itch.

Planet Of The Apes
Good 9 Points 2001

Oh get over it, people. It wasn’t THAT bad! For the film experts who have been living under a rock, the original 1968 Planet of the Apes with Charlton Heston is a brilliant science fiction masterpiece that has stood the test of time, spawning four mediocre sequels, a television series, spoofs, ri…

Good 9 Points 1970

At the time of its release, a sequel to the sci-fi classic Planet of the Apes seemed simply unnecessary. How does somebody go beyond the film’s post-apocalyptic vision? How does somebody go beyond the shock and awe of the first film? How does somebody go beyond the Planet of the Apes?

Secretariat
Good 71 Points 2010

Malkovich, Lane and the Greatest Horse Ever, what could go wrong? Nothing, it turns out, although Secretariat never pulls a Secretariat, turning promise into triumph. Perhaps because it’s a Disney production – reverential to a fault – or perhaps because of its mildly precious dialogue.

Eye of the Dolphin
Good 16 Points 2006

Alyssa (Schroeder) has become a troubled 14-year-old girl. She smokes pot at school and has been suspended several times. She really doesn’t seem to care about this or anything for that matter. The reason for this is that within the last year, her mother died. Her mom was an excellent swimmer a…

Jurassic World:...
Good 83 Points 2018

Chris Pratt’s charisma is nearly as supernatural as the dinosaurs in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, a competent if not especially terrific summer blockbuster. Pretty much every monster phobia gets exploited. However, the people are ploddingly obvious in their actions and not very engaging, sup…

Max
OK 66 Points 2015

Max’s trailer promised more than the movie delivers. The story of a military dog who aides a teen’s coming-of-age, it pulls heartstrings and warms the heart in equal measure, especially for those of us with a soft-spot for the US military and dogs alike. That’s me, which is why I fell hard for …

OK 74 Points 2008

Entirely serviceable entertainment for young boys, and those in touch with their inner boy.

Note that I saw it as an airplane movie, so it was most assuredly not the 3D version. I bet it’d be a hoot and a half in 3D. But why stop there? The movie was clearly designed with a future theme p…
