![]() 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…

![]() All the Money in the World slays as a kidnapping thriller and as a biopic of the legendary J. Paul Getty, once the world’s richest man. The thriller jumps off to a startling beginning, takes a series of surprising turns, and remains thrilling right up to the well-known ending. That’s a solid sh… |

![]() It was hard for me at first to re-set my internal imagery of what kind of movies that Orcs, Elves, and Fairies should be in. It certainly wasn’t a Will Smith LA cop story. Once I got past that hump, it was pretty entertaining seeing special magical powers and fantasy creatures employed in what o… |

![]() Stephen King’s version of Nebraska corn farming life. Take a down home farmer in 1922, throw in a twisted psyche, and voila – a macabre cornfield horror-drama. Don’t let the horror genre label turn you off; It is very well done. Even Edgar Allen Poe and Alfred Hitchcock would be impressed. |

![]() I had no idea that this sleeper directed by George Clooney and deftly acted by Matt Daemon & Julianne Moore even existed. A surreal view of what happens when you insert bad actors and desperate measures in the perfect (and perfectly white), master-planed suburb in the 1950s. It is hard to put my… |

Steven Soderbergh creates a tongue in cheek classic about down on their luck brothers who decide on reversing their fortunes via a hillbilly heist. The homeboy humor deserves a cult following if it doesn’t already have one. The cast alone is worth it with Channing Tatum, Katie Holms, Adam Driver,… |

![]() One needn’t be familiar with Blade Runner minutiae to find Blade Runner 2049 gripping from the start, thought provoking by the middle and shattering at the end. Yep, this terrific sci-fi sequel works for newbies. Thus, it’s not just an aficionado’s treat. It’s meat for the masses. Somehow th…

![]() Some seriously good acting makes Triple 9 thoroughly enjoyable; The Casey Affleck and Anthony Mackie led bad cops are caught in a trap by the estrogen-fed meanness of Kate Winslet and Gal Gadot and chased by an unabashedly grizzled Woody Harrelson. This movie has all the great action and intens… |

![]() London Has Fallen is a distinct improvement over Olympus Has Fallen, making it a 1st-rate action movie. The sequel improves the original by having a plausible villain, albeit amidst an equally implausible story. Throw in several well-earned laughs – amid the carnage – and you’ve got a helluva…
