Clint Eastwood’s terrorist-on-a-train film unspools like a cinéma vérité home movie. Three yokels from Sacramento – California’s middle-American capital city – get the chance to be heroes and don’t blow it. Spencer Stone, Alek Skarlatos & Anthony Sadler famously play themselves as the three du…

A real life horror movie about a bizarre true event, 127 Hours will surely be too intense for many people. It documents a lone hiker slipping down a slot canyon deep in the Utah backcountry. Bad enough. Then a sandstone boulder follows him down, crushing his right arm. It couldn’t get much …

Spike Lee found a true American tale worthy of his talents in the exploits of detective Ron Stallworth, the black officer who led a successful takedown of the KKK in late Seventies America. It’s crazy funny. Stallworth is a true American hero, straight up, the only one unblemished in Lee’s ted…

Queen were never one of my bands. No Queen on vinyl, nor even any in my pocket. Sure, I was awed by the rangy brilliance of Bohemian Rhapsody, plus well entertained by the propulsive insouciance of Killer Queen and pop perfection of Crazy Little Thing Called Love. But the fascist commercial…

Bruce Springsteen songs drive Blinded by the Light, a helluva good concept, well played. That said, the film itself is somewhat cloying, more fanzine than Rolling Stone, albeit elevated by the Boss’s oeuvre. The movie does a great job with some Springsteen songs, projecting the lyrics on wal…

Elvis coulda been titled Baz given its near fatal dose of writer-director Baz Luhrmann’s overwrought style. Elvis Presley was no stranger to overwrought style, so the cinematic marriage works to a point. That point gets reached when Baz dwells on the overwrought story of Col. Tom Parker, notwit… |

Devotion is a poorly-titled twofer: a damn good war movie about a Medal of Honor recipient and his heroic squadron, plus a powerful biopic about the Navy’s first black fighter pilot. It’s triply good for reviving these true stories about the sadly overlooked Korean War. All in all, that makes i…

A movie that fits the man who made France into a triumphant titan of the early 1800s, Napoleon meets many of the moments in an epochal life from two centuries ago. Ridley Scott knows historic drama about larger-than-life figures like few other directors, and cast well with Joaquin Phoenix as hi…

The Greatest Generation embodied countless examples of valor, both personal and patriotic. The Tuskegee Airmen – as great a group of military pilots as this country ever fielded – delivered more than their fair share of each, making their story among the most significant from WWII. *Red Tails…

Valkyrie is an ultimate Nazi movie hamstrung by a lack of Germans: As victors, the Americans and British get to write the history of WWII, but they should at least have used Teutonic actors for this German Army story. Instead Allies play Krauts in Bryan Singer’s movie, complete with more Briti…
