Very Good 66 Points 2013

This movie’s about Ruth and Bob, a fictional and extremely laconic Bonnie and Clyde. Plain names it’s got in spades, plainspoken words too. Plain, albeit a bit precious, e.g. the title: Ain’t Them Bodies Saints

Is that a question? No, it’s a Sundance sponsored project that comes up mostly…

Really Great 93 Points 2009

Terrific coming of age romantic-comedy, mildly raunchy and plenty knowing. Not tremendously LOL though studded with laughs, many from killer funny throwaway lines. Plus it’s a well crafted, well developed story about a set of characters who become more interesting as the movie progresses.

Fo…

Great 91 Points 2007

Who’da thunk the best Beatles movie wouldn’t star the Beatles? OK, not the best Beatles movie, but as great a Beatles movie as one could hope for not starring the Beatles, which is pretty damn great. Really.

Across the Universe is arguably the best movie about the Sixties, unarguably set t…

Aces High
OK 17 Points 1976

Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines – as the phrase went back in the day. Magnificent indeed, but also jaded, troubled, and struggling with the fact that so little of them ever make it through WWI sotries alive. Aces High takes a soft-pedal (well, soft for a 70’s movie anyway) look a…

Abandoned
Very Good 17 Points 2015

Engaging and true against-all-odds tale about 4 men who survived on the capsized trimaran Rose-Noelle for 119 days in 1989. As it was at the time, it was hard to believe, but truth is stranger than fiction; or so they say. Dynamite job by the cast conveying what it must have been like to float a…

A Walk on the Moon
Great 66 Points 1999

Neil Armstrong’s giant leap for mankind and the Woodstock hippy-fest form an evocative backdrop for insightful drama in A Walk on the Moon. Sexy as hell, this 1999 movie features Diane Lane as a truly beautiful cat-on-a-hot-tin-roof and teenaged Anna Paquin as her too-hot-to-trot daughter, circ…

A Simple Plan
Perfect 66 Points 1998

The slippery slope of crime reached a peak cinematic representation in A Simple Plan. An ill-gotten gain sets the plot in motion, after which the movie follows an exquisite slide into further felonious excitations. This scratches several erogenous zones for lovers of crime cinema. We so enjoy…

A Serious Man
Great 83 Points 2009

Dyspeptic and deeply sacrilegious, the Coen Brothers’ latest is also reliably funny and brilliantly surreal. A ludicrous fable of Biblical proportions, the movie nonetheless oozes verisimilitude, a credit to the manifold talents of the auteur brothers behind it and their virtual Yiddish theater …
