The Monuments Men
OK 17 Points 2014

Instead of a serious “Saving Private Ryan” we get a semi-humorous “Saving Claude Monet”. The story is decent, send in a platoon of art experts to save the world’s gems from Nazi tyranny. However the execution is “meh.” With a cast like the one presented, I expected more in the com…

Anthropoid
Great 17 Points 2016

An extraordinary story about the assassination of SS General Reinhard Heydrich – the butcher of Prague. This famous chapter in history has plenty of drama, suspense , and a shocking account of the Nazi treatment of both the innocent and the complicit. The resistance from the Czech and Slovaks …

War Pigs
Good 17 Points 2015

OK 3 Points 1984

Bumbled into this one and decided to watch it for a retrospective evaluation of young Sean Penn and Nick Cage, and to remind myself again why a nice brunette who finds her way to the dinner table once in a while is still the best thing to bumble into. The experience morphed into a look-back from…
