O Brother, Wher...
Really Great 72 Points 2000

O Brother, Where Art Thou? looks stupid but is actually brilliant and brilliantly funny. Classic Coen Brothers is also what it is, a movie only their fertile minds and clever craft could conceive and consummate. For instance, George Clooney’s escaped con clambers aboard a box car and begins his…

We come upon Harry (Radcliffe) as we do in the beginning of most Harry Potter films, at the Dursley’s. He is sitting on a swing when his cousin Dudley and his friends approach him. Harry and Dudley take shots at each other. Dudley verbally attacks Harry on the subject that is most …

Pan's Labyrinth
Really Great 93 Points 2006

A brave girl’s amazing fantasy, stupendously well told. Monumentally effective FX bring to life fauns, fairies and all manner of fantastical creatures, making Pan’s Labyrinth both technically and artistically engrossing.

Faced with a horrific family situation, the brave Ofelia (played with pl…

Into the Wild
Really Great 50 Points 2007

A grand viewing of the McCandless escape from the clutches of his childhood and the typical dysfunction in so many families. The story was very engaging and full of humorous, fun, and sometimes spellbinding encounters with man and nature. Despite some periods of overly melodramatic narrative, thi…

King Kong
Really Great 9 Points 2005

Peter Jackson’s dream project and his follow up to the the amazing epic Lord of the Rings trilogy. While not reaching the same brilliance as the 1933 classic, Jackson puts more emotion and depth into the story of Kong. This is how a remake should be done, in my opinion. It’s the same story and ch…

Really Great 9 Points 1989

While it doesn’t live up to the greatness of the first film(which was a tough act to follow), Back to the Future Part II is still remains one of the most beloved sequels ever and while it isn’t my favorite of the trilogy, it still makes an enjoyable fun adventurous thrillride. Filled with much of…

Superman
Really Great 9 Points 1978

Let me just say this: If this movie didn’t exist, we wouldn’t have any of the Dark Knight’s, Iron Man’s, Thor’s, Captain America’s, Spider Man’s, or any of the epic comic book films we have today. While a teency bit dated, Superman (Or Superman: The Movie, if you want it to be official) remains o…

Man of Steel
Really Great 90 Points 2013

Man of Steel isn’t lite or frivolous, making it a disappointment to those expecting snark or bubblegum. Christopher Nolan takes heavyweight DC superheroes seriously, first producing, writing and directing The Dark Knight trilogy, an…

Small Soldiers
Really Great 66 Points 1998

Small Soldiers looms large two decades after its premier. Spielberg inspired and produced, Joe Dante’s masterpiece is classic Hollywood fantasy, with a great cast featuring Frank Langella & Tommy Lee Jones.

The classic Hollywood part includes being left-wing and anti-American. The villains …

North Face
Really Great 17 Points 2008

An amazingly dramatic film about a competitive climb up the north face of the Eiger. Incredible action, an interesting back-story, and non-stop suspense make this film a must-see – even if you aren’t a fan of subtitles. It won’t matter, trust me.
