Triple Frontier
Good 17 Points 2019

Ben Affleck, Charlie Hunnam and a boffo crew of ex special forces crew go after a big-cash store of a drug lord. Inappropriate vigilantism, and an anticlimactic ending, but great action kept the entertainment factor high.

Toy Story 4
Perfect 66 Points 2019

Ah Toy Story, we’re not worthy. You’ve been with us for over a generation and have somehow gotten better with age, something that didn’t seem possible when Woody & Buzz first dazzled us a quarter-century ago.

Each sequel – TS2, TS3:…

Yesterday
Great 66 Points 2019

Yesterday is the best high-concept movie in recent memory. What if the entire world never knew of the Beatles? No Hey Jude, no Sgt. Peppers, no Revolution, no Fab Four. John, Paul, George & Ringo, just lads.

Except one guy never forgot, a failed singer-songwriter who only needed one gr…

Very Good 66 Points 2019

Bruce Springsteen songs drive Blinded by the Light, a helluva good concept, well played. That said, the film itself is somewhat cloying, more fanzine than Rolling Stone, albeit elevated by the Boss’s oeuvre.

The movie does a great job with some Springsteen songs, projecting the lyrics on wal…

Angel Has Fallen
Very Good 66 Points 2019

Angel Has Fallen falls from the greatness reached by London Has Fallen to a very respectable Very Good, the same quality as the original Olympus Has Fallen, making for a damn good time at the movies.

Said another way, the White House headlined the very good Fallen 1
