Two tenderfoots tramp along the Appalachian Trail for hundreds of miles and emerge the better for wear in A Walk in the Woods. The movie is like their hike: surprisingly enjoyable, albeit slow and plodding. It’s also rather ridiculous, as anyone who has backpacked can attest. The ill prepared h…

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…

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…

Brad Pitt has his own great astronaut movie now, as every one of today’s great moviestars must.1 Ad Astra is a stately space epic, albeit punctuated with an atomic blast and more than a few death-defying set pieces. Most impressively, James Gray’s instant classic reinforces our conception of …

All About Eve is surely one of the greatest Best Pictures most people have never seen. It won six Oscars: Best Picture, Best Screenplay & Best Director to the extraordinary Joseph L. Mankiewicz, Best Costume Design to Charles Le Maire & Edith Head the Costume Doctor, Best Supporting Actor to Ge…

Aloha never coheres for Cameron Crowe, nor for stars Bradley Cooper, Emma Stone & Rachel McAdams. Plus the whole thing’s too clever by half, including Stone playing a character last name of Ng. Um, right. Crowe is apparently just another haole who got discombobulated by Aloha. Whitey.

Suburban drug running goes tragically awry in this fictionalized account of a real Southern California murder. Nearly as alarming as the 2000 murder is the callow nihilism of the SoCal teens and twentysomethings involved with it. Living in comfort, they admire the gangsta doggs celebrated on MT…
