Ghost in the Shell
Good 17 Points 2017

Scarlett Johansson in a compelling cyborg story. Not as inspiring as say, Robocop, but Scarlett sure makes for a cute robot, and they have set things up nicely for a sequel. Let’s see where this goes.

Vol. 2 is a great time at the mall multiplex, if not the nearly perfect blockbuster experience that Vol. 1 was. Faint praise perhaps, but then this first sequel has nearly impossible shoes to fill, as the origin movie was so effortless in its joyous affectations. Still, a great blockbuster like t…

Very Good 17 Points 2017

A great new take on the ‘humans colonize mars’ theme. The Space Between us will put a mile on your face with what is basically a good natured movie and a cute love story. Sure, the sci-fi is not all that believable, but it doesn’t detract much.

A decent action/conspiracy film features Gerard Butler as a “Climate MacGyver” who not only is an eco-fixer, but does a respectable job at putting bad guys in their place. Ignore the subtle leftist positions, and the movie is enjoyable.

Downsizing
Good 17 Points 2017

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…

Great 83 Points 2017

The Last Jedi has lots to love and more than a bit to disdain. I found myself un-aggrieved, and loved it. Notwithstanding its blasters and disasters, Rian Johnson’s first Star Wars movie is deeply human and personal, in true Star Wars fashion. “Why did you come?” asks Luke Skywalker in one te…
