Get Low
Good 83 Points 2010

An underwhelming story overwhelmingly performed makes for a good, albeit sleepy movie. Robert Duvall does deliriously well – of course – in a movie he produced and leads.

Get Low’s gently risqué and glib content alloys into ribald American realism. Hell, it could be classified as Americana…

It's Kind of a ...
Good 17 Points 2010

In this case, the movie’s title represents fairly well the content: A kind of a funny movie — but in this case it isn’t a negative. Rather, a great blend of humor with character drama: Take a teenager who over-dramatizes his depression, ends up in a mental hospital for a week, and helps hi…

Everything Must Go
Good 22 Points 2011

Laid off, kicked out by your wife, driven back to the drink that caused your mess…. Will Ferrell is endearing as a relapsing alcoholic who befriends a local kid (Christopher John Wallace) and a neighbor woman (Rebecca Hall) as he sorts through the disaster he created for himself. Sitting on hi…

Scotland, PA
Good 5 Points 2001

A quirky film that never really seems to rise to it’s full potential, Scotland, PA manages to be entertaining, without taking itself too seriously. Based on William Shakespeare’s play Macbeth, about greed, envy and murder, this version is set in a fast-food diner in the 1970’s.

The movie is…

Tromeo & Juliet
Very Good 16 Points 1996

William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet is one of the most well known stories of the English language. There have been countless versions of the original play to try to make it innovative and different. Well if nothing else Tromeo and Juliet definitely gets the award for being the most different…

Twin Town
Very Good 1 Points 1997

Quirky crime drama that although is certainly watchable, never really has anything to say about it’s desperate characters.

Waitress
Very Good 24 Points 2007

To Jenna (Russell), baking is an art and pie is her favorite canvas. She uses precision and care into each step. Jenna works at a local pie shop where she waitresses and makes the pies. There are nearly 30 regular flavors not to mention that she invents a new flavor and makes it every day. Jenna…

Be Kind Rewind
Very Good 20 Points 2008

Be Kind Rewind takes great actors and puts them in an amateur setting to center itself around us; the fans. Even though, having to remake all of the big budget films in Be Kind Rewind, is done by mistake, it spurs a realization of purpose, pride, and passion. The bottom line is they end up having…

Slipstream
Very Good 4 Points 2007

This film will mess with your head. be sure to bring a bottle of Aspirin some booze and a mallet to knock some sense back into yourself after you watch it. I was so confused as to what was reality or what was “the movie” being written inside this movie. I’d say Anthony Hopkins did a stand up job …

The Terminal
Very Good 17 Points 2004

A man newly without a country – procedurally trapped in the international transfer lounge at JFK. The possibilities for where to take a story like this are endless, and this movie takes advantage of all Tom Hanks has to offer. A clueless foreign national needing to learn how to survive inside…
