Kingsman II is a fully-realized exercise in high style, low blows, expensive tricks and lots of big laughs. You could call it a brilliant blockbuster, in the British sense of brilliant: bright, bold, brisk, buttoned down.

Battle of the Sexes is a terrific movie about a sociological sensation that was as fun as it was important, and it was very, very important. Bobby Riggs vs. Billie Jean King was that big. The movie illuminates not just the sexual politics at play, but also early seventies mass media and a much …

This oddly titled gem is a crazy crime movie from MidAmerica, set in fictional Ebbing, Missouri, not in Fargo, North Dakota, or Hibbing, Minnesota, or a real hicksville you may know in the Central Time Zone. Forbidding title aside, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing is readily accessible and se…

If the Seinfeld crew returned in 2018 and were into game night with friends, Game Night would be their movie. It’s that funny, that deadpan, that banal yet brilliant. How so? One terrifically executed comedic setpiece after another, from the meet-cute opening montage all the way to the comicall…

Loved this heart-warmer of a story featuring a trio of all stars: Nicole Kidman, Bryan Cranston and Kevin Hart |

Brilliantly High Concept. Funny, sexy, and thought provoking, though many people seem to miss the humor. |

A high flying bird-of-paradise, this brilliant movie enters the Pixar pantheon by delivering equal measures of LOL comedy, enlightened human insight (canine too), and strong moral values. Movies get no better. Up’s cowriters and codirectors aren’t newcomers to this kind of lighthearted tour…

What comes to mind when you hear women’s body suit and nude stockings? No, it’s not TO WONG FU…, it’s Robin Williams as the title character in MRS. DOUBTFIRE. Add in a British accent and a pair of bifocals and you can’t go wrong. This is classic Williams. One of the first kid-friendly tranny… |
