OK
Director Oliver Stone tried too hard with Alexander. It tried to be a monumental epic, but in the end just felt too long and drawn out, with too much inward facing drama and not enough about the battles between great armies and the politics it must have taken to conquer all those lands. It did h…

Perfect
With All Is Lost, J. C. Chandor proves Robert Redford is still awesome. Try to name a director and actor that could make a movie with no dialog not just interesting – but downright gripping. Redford is a sailing MacGyver – scrapping things together for survival despite the odds. The filming and i…

Great
Casablanca it’s not, but Allied is a damn good romantic thriller set in WWII Casablanca, or at least initially set there. Most of the movie then takes place in London during the blitz, with Brad Pitt’s proto-007 thrust into domestic espionage against his wife, played by Marion Cotillard. It’s…

Pretty Awful
One of the absolute worst movies I have ever seen. It came on Showtime in Denmark one night, so I watched it. WTF was I thinking? If you like watching the irony of women wearing very revealing (or no) clothing while talking about female empowerment and not being sexual slaves, then maybe you’d…

Good
The War Against Islamist Terror gets short shrift in the nearly risible American Assassin, which starts well, powerfully well, but then goes mostly downhill. Quality aside: Sequel or No Sequel? That is the question. This origin story sets a low bar, yet made money, so why not a sequel. It’ll al…

Really Great
Denzel and Crowe at the top of their games, combined with a compelling (if familiar), interesting and assured story make this an almost perfect gangster movie, just shy of the Godfathers and Goodfellas….

Wick

Very Good
The wages of sin are very good for Tom Cruise for a very long time in American Made, a fanciful recounting of one smuggler’s blues during the 1980s cocaine explosion. It’s a very satisfying movie, with a modicum of truth, a surfeit of crazed sexiness, and a satisfactory ending when the wages of…
