OK
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…

I’ve done some crazy stuff in my younger years, including hang gliding, but these guys have the biggest ‘cohones’ that I’ve ever seen. Making plans to step off a cliff, zoom past a rapidly approaching hillside, and judging when to pull the chute. An amazing thing to see. In Birdmen, you’ll lea…

The movie that sparked the highly successful TV series did so for a reason. Immersion in to small town football drama is like no other. Let Billy Bob Thornton and cast take you away for a while in to the land of Texas gridiron.

Every possible plot you’d want from a western is weaved in to Tombstone, and a stellar cast makes this film a must-see on any fan of the genre’s “must see” list. Kurt Russel, Val Kilmer (who is great imho), Sam Elliott, Bill Paxton , Powers Boothe, Charlton Heston, Jason Priestley…. Need I g…

Ridley Scott’s big budget film about the famous Christopher Columbus was entertaining, but not as gripping as you’d expect from the 40M investment. The scenes, costumes, etc. were all very well done – but the movie suffers from being overly dramatic and one grows weary after an hour or so. Also…

The battle of the C’s: Its Nicholas Cage vs. John Cusak in this tale based on an Alaskan true story about an attempt to take down serial rapist-killer. Cage goes after the bad guy Cusak with gusto in this somewhat haphazardly put together script. Cusak makes a great psychopath, but the connectio…

The amount of drama that DeNiro and Cuba Gooding Jr can generate together is a sight to behold. Throw in some good old fashioned southern racism and the pressure of a Navy diving school, and you’ve got some top notch entertainment.

Heady character studies aren’t usually my thing, but I didn’t want to miss seeing how Jason Segel and Jessie Eisenberg would do as co-stars. My guess was right, and it was a high quality pairing. The result is that the 1:45 running time flew by as I was immersed in the dynamic interaction. Reg…

Gritty, stressful, and suspenseful documentary of life in Afghanistan’s war zones. Well aided by dramatic narrative, shooting, and even music added to the suspense. But possibly the most impactful part of the movie is the closeness to the action that the father and son reporters were: down to …
