Enough Said
Very Good 66 Points 2013

A characteristically strong female vibe emotes from Enough Said, writer-director Nicole Holofcener’s latest. Her romcom is not all feminine however. Some men are required. Good thing they got a real one.

James Gandolfini – in his final role – charms as a divorced Dad who likes to be comfo…

Entourage
Good 83 Points 2015

Goodbye to Entourage, a.k.a. Sex and the City for guys. Vinnie Chase, E, Drama, Turtle, Sloan the ultra babe – characters we’ve come to love. Then there’s Ari, who doesn’t care to be loved. Goodbye to them all.

Ironically, the promotion from small screen to big wasn’t kind to Entourage. T…

Ex Machina
Really Great 83 Points 2015

Ex Machina deserves the fulsome praise it has received from professional and amateur critics alike. Intellectually intriguing and erotically provocative, it unsheathes surprises and turnabouts to the very end. However, it does have a glaring flaw, one that deserves attention before further exam…

21st century war gets personal in the heart-pounding Eye in the Sky, one of the best 21st century war movies yet.1 Helen Mirren’s steely colonel directs a global military response to Islamist terror, adroitly coordinating activity in Kenya, Nevada, Hawaii, Bejing and Singapore from two rooms …

Father Figures
Good 66 Points 2017

Father Figures gets in touch with the inner child lurking just below the surface of several grown men, making it an emblematic comedy of our infantilized time. Fortunately, it’s a pretty funny one, worth a play.

There’s one terrific scene, when an unusually confident Ed Helms picks up an unu…

Flight
Great 83 Points 2012

Flight is a heavily Hollywoodized Great American Movie, with a superstar anchoring a tall tale that apes an American triumvirate of powerful popular experiences. Denzel Washington’s Whip Whitaker echoes Sully Sullenberger; the crash site of Whip’s plane resembles 9/11’s Shanksville field; and …

Focus
Good 83 Points 2015

Focus is a decent date movie, especially for fans of con-artist movies and/or Will Smith (and who’s not). More credit eludes it due to tortured plotting, unbelievable happenings and lack of romantic chemistry.

As to that last, I blame Margot Robbie, the gorgeous blonde previously seen as DiC…

FrackNation
Great 66 Points 2013

Fracking is a virtual four-letter word for the Environmental Left, and a byword for American ingenuity, economic growth and geopolitical strength for its fans. Irish journalist Phelim McAleer falls into the latter camp for reasons that he documents convincingly and engagingly in FrackNation.

Frank
Very Good 66 Points 2014

Tragically hip alt-rock crosses over into madness in the under-titled Frank, about a charismatic band leader and his devoted bandmates. Here’s the thing: Frank wears a large fake head, all the time.

Starting in Britain, Frank’s band brings on a guileless recruit before decamping for Ireland,…

Free Solo
Perfect 17 Points 2018

Edge of your seat documentary about Alex Honnold’s journey to finally free soloing El Cap in 2017. Seriously stressful watching this – but so rewarding!
