Parasite
Perfect 66 Points 2019

Martin Scorsese would consider Parasite cinema, brilliant cinema. The rest of the filmic world agrees, seeing as how this South Korean sensation won the Palme d’Or at Cannes this year, where it beat out Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood

Mr. Jones
Perfect 66 Points 2019

Gareth the Great defenestrates two cultural institutions in one fell swoop: communism and the NY Times. Plus, it’s mostly true. Wait, what? This superb movie isn’t titled Gareth the Great? It’s about Gareth Jones, arguably the greatest journalist of the 20th century, and therefore of all t…

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

Cape Fear
Really Great 17 Points 1962

I just happened to be flipping channels when I came across the original Cape Fear. This movie reminds me that fantastic special effects or over-the-top charicatures are not necessary to hold me on the edge of my seat. This is a great movie that should not be missed, and Gregory Peck and Robert Mi…

The Girl Next Door
Really Great 33 Points 2007

This movie was riveting but at the same time very uncomfortable to watch. A story about two orphaned girls newly transplanted to the home of their aunt — who perpetuates her horrible behavior with her boys as well. This movie will likely shock you. In the end, I really became enraged at what I s…

Tell No One
Really Great 66 Points 2006

This terrific thriller is slyly engaging at the outset, then tremendously tense and intriguing for the duration, the sort of movie that has you intensely talking about it – working through the twists and turns – after leaving the theater.

French heartthrob Guillaume Canet is to be commended fo…
