Iron Man 2
Very Good 136 Points 2010

Another rocket ride of irony, innuendo and immolation, Iron Man 2 picks up where Iron Man 1 left off. Dutifully advancing Marvel’s narrative about a glossy world of marvelous titans, it crackles with wit, energy and sexual tension.

That said, it’s distinctly less delightful than its prede…

Get Him to the ...
Perfect 89 Points 2010

Hugely funny, surprisingly dramatic, trenchantly trendy: Get Him to the Greek upholds the purple perfection of Forgetting Sarah Marshall, its prequel. Easily the best rockstar movie ever, it’s funnier and has better music than Spinal Tap

Good 20 Points 2009

This is a very middle of the road film. A few good moments, a few bad moments, mostly just kinda ok.

Very Good 103 Points 2008

State-of-the-art big screen adventure, not perfect or even great, but culturally significant and plenty of fun.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull starts off beautifully, naturalistically, drawing you in for the surrealism to come, then sustaining this state of grace until ro…

Great 95 Points 2008

Funny and bizarre, HB2 brings to life an extreme dreamworld that could only emerge from the unique imagination of Guillermo del Toro. This is a freak show of epic proportions. Think bar scene in the original Star Wars extended to an entire movie…

The Dark Knight
Perfect 173 Points 2008

Wickedly funny, morally complex, tremendously engaging: Comik movies get no better. Worthy of its monumental hype, The Dark Knight far exceeds its immediate predecessor Batman Begins and arguably outshines the original Batman….

Rambo
Great 41 Points 2008

Using the backdrop of Burmese atrocities, Rambo consures up great action and suspense as the kidnapping of aid workers inspires this film’s verion of a classic tough guy to the rescue plot. To that aim, the movie doesn’t dissapoint, and if you are a fan of the genre, you’ll have good fun watching…

Great 103 Points 2007

Finis. Boffo blow out to the Die Hard series. Willis – he of the movie star blockhead and sotto voce movie star voice – has perfected the art of downplaying his lines in contrast to the over-the-top outrageousness of the action going on around him. The result is one fun, fun, fun big screen en…

Spider-Man 3
Barely OK 70 Points 2007

A tangled web of storylines, inexplicable contrivances and desultory performances mark Spider-Man 3 as the end of the line for the original Spider-Man team. Thus it’s no surprise that the next Spidey movie will feature a new director and new actors.

As for this installment, it’s barely OK f…

Rocky Balboa
Very Good 71 Points 2006

Amazingly, this is the first Rocky I’ve ever sat through, even though R1 came out when I was in high school. This is certainly a grand valedictory for Sly’s seminal character.
