Bride Wars
Really Great 20 Points 2009

What a fun movie! This tale of two best friends coming to blows because of a screwed-up wedding date carries its viewers along on a very funny, and at times saddening, series of events that can only be every woman’s nightmare! This romantic comedy/chick flick is a great one to watch as a date mov…

The Best Years ...
Really Great 17 Points 1946

One of the earliest of films to focus on the re-adjustment of servicemen to civilian lives – Best Years gives it two us from 3 angles: Disenchanted well-to-do banker; Working stiff who can’t hold down his job or his marriage; and a poor guy who lost both his hands and mired in self doubt. Th…

Roman Holiday
Really Great 66 Points 1953

“Introducing Audrey Hepburn” reads an opening credit. Yes, the elfin Screen Queen made her debut as a fairytale Princess in Roman Holiday, for which she won the Best Actress Oscar — a splash for the ages!

One of the best RomComs ever, Roman Holiday enchants to this day, utterly charming begi…

The Last Station
Really Great 83 Points 2009

Celebrity, genius, marital complexity and misguided idealism collide in this loose recreation of Leo Tolstoy’s last year on earth. A resplendent movie – Helen Mirren’s performance and costumes alone are worth the price of admission – The Last Station doesn’t require the viewer to know that Cou…

Witness
Really Great 66 Points 1985

Harrison Ford came down to earth in Witness, proving his stardom transcended SciFi and Fantasy. More importantly, Peter Weir’s big hit proved a heartwarming thriller. Still is, some 30 years after its premier.

Ford plays an ambitious Philly Detective who holes up with a nearby Amish family a…

Ted 2
Really Great 83 Points 2015

America’s funniest Ted-Id-Bear is back in Ted 2, pursuing his own unique form of non-traditional marriage. Buckle up. This is compulsive satire, with the biting gags coming rat-a-tat-tat. It rarely goes more than two lines without a punchline, not even counting the visual comedy, which is nearl…

Lava
Really Great 66 Points 2014

Lava is love, Hawaiian Island style, delivered in seven minutes of sweet love song and volcanic activity. The dramatic contrast works wonderfully well: the violent and the accepting, the unyielding and the hopeful. Pixar should release this short separately after it’s done opening for the gre…

The Age of Adaline
Really Great 17 Points 2015

Really great story about the beautiful and ageless Adeline (Blake Lively) set in the beautiful and ageless San Francisco Bay Area. What starts off as a novelty just becomes sad as poor Adeline outlives all her loves and constantly hides from relationships to avoid the pain. Makes you think. Of …

Café Society
Really Great 17 Points 2016

Jessie Eisenberg and Kristen Stewart in this unmistakably Woody Allen movie. So good in fact, that they channeled Woody and Diane Keaton in the setting of 1930’s Hollywood. The blend of Bronx Jewishness amongst Hollywood glitz is a combination that made for some great character shticks… great…

A Matter of Lif...
Great 7 Points 1946

Blurring the lines between reality, insanity and the hope that there is something after life for us all, “A Matter of Life and Death” is one of those feel-good films that you’d heard of, or seen references to, but never seen, a classic British film that touches on the carnage of war (in particula…
