Perfect 68 Points 2006

The Stasi employed 100,000 East Germans, who maintained a network of 200,000 informants, in a country of 16 million people. So roughly 1% of the population controlled the other 99%. Ring any bells America? 1

The Lives of Others, a Stasi romantic drama, was the first perfect movie about t…

Pretty Bad 66 Points 2009

Anger and pity suffuse this superficially sympathetic portrait of the US Army’s casualty notification service. GIs are uniformly depicted as damaged, deluded or destructive: those uninjured as much as the wounded. Families of the fallen are depicted as unsupportive of their loved one’s enlistment…

The Monuments Men
OK 17 Points 2014

Instead of a serious “Saving Private Ryan” we get a semi-humorous “Saving Claude Monet”. 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…

The Patriot
Good 29 Points 2000

Who doesn’t like a bloody Mel Gibson fighting for a cause? Braveheart would set the stage for Mel’s sweet spot, which the Patriot definitely capitalizes on. Sure, the Brits and history buffs will decry this film for its plethora of inaccuracies and portrayal of the British forces of evil, but i…

The Railway Man
Great 83 Points 2013

Adult date night movies get no more surefire than The Railway Man. It starts with Nicole Kidman falling in love with Colin Firth on a train. He is – after all – the Railway Man. The pathos comes later, when we encounter the hell that Eric Lomax underwent as a POW, slave laborer for the infam…
