While War Pigs is nothing spectacular, this fairly typical WWII film holds its own with other B players of the genre. Dolph Lundren an Mickey Rourke add some star power and the writers don’t copy old ideas too obviously. |

Instead of a serious “Saving Private Ryan†we get a semi-humorous “Saving Claude Monetâ€. 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… |

The Grand Budapest Hotel flaunts a garden of cinematic delights. Deliciously deadpan and deliriously fun for those of us who love the cinematic art form, Wes Anderson’s brilliant confection works high and low. Well, not too low, as even the physical comedy and silly surprises take a bit of sm…

Big thing Godzilla, been around a long time, sixty years on screen, millions more in Godzilla story years. Archetype and moviestar, it’s a 350’ T-Rex that thrives on nuclear energy, making it a metaphor for nukes in general and nuclear bombs in particular. Godzilla 2014 proffers little new, ye…

The first great movie of 2013 is Gangster Squad. Oh great, what we’ve got here is a movie featuring a bunch of Hollywood Liberals gunning down loads of people with weapons they’d like to ban in real life, all in the name of entertainment. Only in America. OTOH, what’s great is a richly p…

I read On The Road by 21 because it was necessary. I saw On The Road this weekend to be entertained. Entertaining it is, though cultural legacy aside, mad words about mad living don’t make a great movie, not without great acting and a cinematic story, neither of which On The Road has….

42 gives us a part of baseball history that fans and non-fans alike should see. As much as it is a decent baseball story, it is an even better story about American history. This glimpse into how Jackie Robinson made his way from a Negro league to the Brooklyn Dodgers was more complex than a simpl… |
