Creed II
Very Good 66 Points 2018

Sylvester Stallone’s Rocky franchise lives on, now centered on a new generation and an African-American hero. This all works and provides a dose of social relevance, making Creed II a solid entrant in the Rocky canon. It’s also a better than average boxing movie, largely because it follows the …

Bohemian Rhapsody
Very Good 83 Points 2018

Queen were never one of my bands. No Queen on vinyl, nor even any in my pocket. Sure, I was awed by the rangy brilliance of Bohemian Rhapsody, plus well entertained by the propulsive insouciance of Killer Queen and pop perfection of Crazy Little Thing Called Love. But the fascist commercial…

Really Great 17 Points 2018

Viggo Mortensen knocks one out of the park as the bigoted Bronx Italian American Tony Lip who gets a job driving a sophisticated black Jazz star Don Shirley (played by Mahershala Ali – who is also really great). Based on a true story, this is clearly a progressive messages film, the two bond an …

Fantastic Beast...
OK 66 Points 2018

The Crimes of Grindelwald is also The Parade of Obscurities, so convoluted are its developments over 2¼ hours. Unlike other J.K. Rowling movies, which have generally been discernible despite their depth, Fantastic Beasts 2 makes even the convoluted Avengers: Age of Ultron

Leave No Trace
Great 17 Points 2018

Vets deal with their post traumatic stress in many ways. In this case a life of nomadic forest dwelling. Thing is, you can only take your devoted young daughter for so long on that journey. This movie was dramatic, touching, and really well filmed.

Great 17 Points 2018

This emotional look at the tragic events outside Oslo brings up many difficult subjects. Mass murder, extremism, socio-cultural dealings with all of it and a unique and unforgettable glimpse in to the hearts of the Norwegian people. Not to be missed.

Like Father
Barely OK 17 Points 2018

Why Kelsey Grammar, Kristen Bell, and an understated Seth Rogan couldn’t make more our of this low-budget film is a bit of a mystery. It had potential, but the further in you got, you realized it is really just a Royal Caribbean commercial.

The Meg
Good 17 Points 2018

Things get pretty tense when puny humans in underwater tin cans face the Megolodon (A Big Ass Shark). Non stop fishy action, but I’m still nostalgic for Jaws

Outlaw King
Good 17 Points 2018

Follow Robert Bruce as he rebels from under English rule. It’s Your Standard medieval fighting fare with a phone-it-in attempt to relay actual history. Doesn’t come me close to the cinematic impact of Highlander or Braveheart.
