Great premise, great cast, but something was off. Matt Damon’s character; he never fulfills the potential for something really funny. The movie isn’t a total flop. It has several moderately funny moments and the whole premise of miniaturization has you wondering about the benefits should it eve…

Ultra-smart, psychic, but troubled opium smoking and laudanum ingesting inspector Aberline (Johnny Depp) leads us through this dark adventure of the hunt for Jack the Ripper. This is Victorian London at its worst, filthy streets, filthy harlots, crazy medical procedures, and even crazier results…

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…

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…

Barely OK
Son of God had the potential to be an Easter season blockbuster,but instead – it mostly fell flat. Instead of big-screen immersion, you get a made-for-TV feel. Instead of Jesus as a dynamic, powerful presence – you get a wimpy, almost icky man. Instead of a sense of good and evil, you get this…

Natalie Portman kills it as Jackie Kennedy. Who knows how accurate the post JFK death portrayal is, but her portrayal of Jackie’s poise, controlled speech, and control is a sight to behold. The vision of Camelot was all Jackie’s, and when the rug was pulled out from under her anyone but her wou…

Good
The first thing that came to my mind when watching Beguiled is that being around all that young, southern, estrogen laden drama is bound to be more dangerous to a Yankee soldier than most battlefields. I was not wrong. Unfortunately and despite the fact that the story was quite compelling, the m…

Silence is a long and plodding film with plenty of forced drama from Andrew Garfield and Adam Driver as Catholic missionaries returning to Japan to find their mentor (Liam Neeson) after his failed attempt at converting the Japanese to true Christianity. Scorcese pours it on with intense and rich…

Yet another take on the Christian biblical history of Jesus, but this time from the perspective of a rough but chisled Roman Legionaire. This is actually refreshing, because it doesn’t really focus too much on the religious stuff, but rather comes across as more of an ancient Roman ‘whodunnit’. …

A dark and violent American prisoner in 1950’s postwar japan becomes affiliated with a gang in Osaka as sort of an enforcer. The main character’s role was awkward and didn’t really make sense, and even worse, parts were almost offensive as you learned what he left behind for his new life as…
