Perfect 3 Points 2001

A beautiful rendition of the book. Could it have been made any better? A marvelous tale beautifully told. Action, adventure, drama, relationship – this is truly an inspiring tale.

The Lost City of Z
Very Good 17 Points 2016

Loved the imperial era of Great Britain, who took it upon themselves to chart (and conquer) the world. That makes this story of a grand adventure plausible and fun. A man’s life-long passion to find a treasure. This is a very good story told with epic flair and mystery – borderline great film.

The Lost World:...
Good 9 Points 1997

A sequel that tries very hard. It succeeds in some places, and fails in others. I used to hate this film. But after rewatching this, I must be honest, its not as bad as I remember. Speilberg attempts to top the first film and ends up borrowing from superior films such as King Kong and Godzilla. H…

The Man from U....
Great 17 Points 2015

Loved the 1960’s Italian Immersion that surrounded this traditional spy tale. Add to that some cool-handed dry humor and you’re good for some consistent LOLs, even if the aesthetics were a little over done. I’m predicting a sequel, and yes, I’ll go.

The Martian
Really Great 83 Points 2015

The Martian is an instant laureate in the SciFi Golden Age we’re now enjoying. Ridley Scott directs Matt Damon in this landmark movie, the latest in two careers full of them. Their Martian is the highest of high concepts, perfectly conceived. Andy Weir’s lauded novel comes gloriously to life in…

The Mexican
Good 17 Points 2001

Its a bit long and sometimes confusing, but great acting and a funny story-line held be through it. PItt is a natural as a bumbling gun runner and Roberts fits in as a woman on the edge. A surpsise in Gandolfini’s character and the scenes shared with Roberts.

Barely OK 17 Points 2013

I admit it – I just didn’t get it – but I gave it a chance anyway. This had “budget fantasy” written all over it: Vampires, demons, and a mysterious hunting society that only certain people can see. nonsensical methods of discovery and battle and a massively fabricated love story to bind the two…

The Mummy
OK 17 Points 2017

Such a drop-dead easy movie to make. After all, since the 50’s, mummy movies have been a successful stable. Who knew that Russell Crowe and Tom Cruise could take it to such a low. The scorned-woman who makes a deal with the devil was just too far afield for me, and in the end, the film seemed l…

The Mummy Returns
Barely OK 66 Points 2001

Oh, wait. This was a movie? Seemed more an FX ride with dialogue. I’m all for silly summer blockbusters, FX heavy and logic lite. But this one is so over-the-top that it’s distancing. Boredom follows quickly. And that’s deadly, no matter how magical the spells it seeks to cast.

The movie …
