Bride Wars
Really Great 20 Points 2009

What a fun movie! This tale of two best friends coming to blows because of a screwed-up wedding date carries its viewers along on a very funny, and at times saddening, series of events that can only be every woman’s nightmare! This romantic comedy/chick flick is a great one to watch as a date mov…

Broken City
Very Good 66 Points 2013

A tremendous cast makes short work of an overwrought but underdone story in Broken City. Crowe, Wahlberg and Zeta-Jones are the single-namers, and Kyle Chandler should be. They’re not all. The strong supporting cast includes Barry Pepper, luscious Natalie Martinez and engaging newcomer Britn…

Bulletproof Heart
Very Good 66 Points 1994

Bulletproof Heart is a stylishly assembled collection of cliches. There’s not enough star power in Beverly Hills to overcome its just OK screenplay, but Anthony LaPaglia & Mimi Rogers give it the old Hollywood try nonetheless. She’s tremendous as a foxy femme fatale who is sure of what she wa…

BUtterfield 8
Very Good 66 Points 1960

Liz Taylor’s sultry star power makes BUtterfield 8 an enduring curiosity, now more legendary than ever in the wake of her death. A sophisticated story about sexual motives makes it a quality film.

La Liz plays a sometime model who cavorts with wealthy married men until falling for one in pa…

OK 83 Points 2018

Can You Ever Forgive Me? is not unforgivably bad, but is hardly a good movie either. The small stakes crimes of a literary criminal and her wages of sin trigger our morbid fascination with human train wrecks.

Is that so bad? No, but it ain’t enough to be fulfilling. Ultimately just OK, Melis…

Classic Albums:...
OK 66 Points 1997

The Band was a throwback during their Sixties heyday. Half a century later, they seem doubly backdated. Thus this documentary about their best album is worth seeking out only for true fans. For a onetime casual fan like me, it was mildly interesting and minimally affecting.

Still, _The Nigh…

Cloverfield
Really Great 125 Points 2008

Big fun on the big screen, if your idea of fun runs to state-of-the-art SciFi fright fests. Worthy of its tremendous buzz, Cloverfield combines a War of the Worlds monster attack with Blair Witch Project immediacy. Put it this wa…

Bad 67 Points 2009

Comedically bankrupt, with nary a laugh in the entire movie. Some appealing performances can’t rescue it from playing like a 3rd rate Devil Wears Prada.

Admittedly, I’m outside this movie’s target demographic. Still, stuck inside an airplane with noth…

Cop Land
Great 66 Points 1997

De Niro, Keitel, Liotta, Berg and Stallone – with a helluva cast behind `em – turned Cop Land into a cauldron of cinematic testosterone. A strong sense of place and vivid filmmaking on both sides of the Hudson made it well worth a view. Genre requirements and trite political poison limited it…

Cosmopolis
Barely OK 66 Points 2012

The poster tells the tale. Robert Pattinson starring in a David Cronenberg movie of a Don DeLillo book is all you need to know about Cosmopolis. A deeply surreal fable about the evil rich as embodied by a soulless manqué sums it up. Oh yeah, bloody wounds get inflicted. It is a David Cronenb…
