The 9th Company
Good 17 Points 2005

In the US, not much is understood about the Soviet war in Afghanistan. This movie follows new recruits as they are thrust in to the bloody, dirty mess. It seems they picked the craziest mo-fo’s for Afghanistan though — at least that’s the impression you get watching. The fighting starts out …

Pretty Bad 7 Points 2004

I’m torn on this as I really disliked this move. A lot. And its not because it was a poorly made movie – quite the opposite actually. This movie was very well made in every aspect. I can’t commend the film enough in the technical aspect. The storytelling was good, the acting was great and it…

The Last Samurai
Very Good 83 Points 2003

Well produced Tom Cruise historical epic, appealing to those of us who like such entertainments. As he so often does, Cruise plays a character at once naive and smug, who reveals an admirable steeliness by the third reel.

We Were Soldiers
Good 83 Points 2002

Admirable and interesting, this retelling of the first major battle of the Vietnam War nonetheless can’t escape the overall drag of that war’s outcome, and in fact the similar outcome of the Battle of Ia Drang depicted in the movie.

Still, the …

Infernal Affairs
Really Great 66 Points 2002

Infernal Affairs screams Hong Kong 2002. Movie theaters advertise Will Smith & Tommy Lee Jones back in black and Harrison Ford as Capt. Alexei Vostrikov. Within that milieu, Alan Mak & Wai-keung Lau’s blockbuster unspools a cop story of such depth, perfection and tension that Martin Scorsese …

Three Kings
Very Good 83 Points 1999

Three Kings succeeds magnificently as cockeyed caper movie, less so as metaphor for America’s abortive involvement in Iraq following the Persian Gulf War. The former unspools propulsively as George Clooney’s disgruntled commando leads a ragtag crew on a crazy hunt for Saddam Hussein’s gold. T…

Entrapment
Perfect 3 Points 1999

Great cast, great story, great film. Story line was obtained with a good twist and chemistry. Personally this film would out rank the Ocean series. I love catherine zeta jones character how she is working on both sides.

Kundun
Perfect 1 Points 1997

Excellent film about the story of the Dalai Lama and his being forced from Tibet. At times humerous, always beautiful, at times heartwrenching, yet it doesn’t end leaving you depressed. This movie also serves as a good introduction to Tibetan Buddhism for Westerners and of the Dalai Lama’s non-vi…
