The Imitation Game
Very Good 83 Points 2014
The Sound of Music
Great 23 Points 1965

The Sound of Music is one of those iconic films that everyone should see. Perhaps for some, it will entail some suffering through 60’s era cliches and life-glossed-over portrayals, but it does entertain. Julie Andrews was in her prime and Christopher Plummer is the happiest you’ll ever see of h…

Letters from Iw...
Great 83 Points 2006

Letters from Iwo Jima is the stunning coda to Flags Of Our Fathers, this time from the Japanese side. Amongst other revelations, it shows how poorly served were the Imperial Japanese soldiers, not by their gallant and honorable commander, but by the suicidal tendencies of their martial tradi…

Atonement
Great 105 Points 2007

Hardly a chick flick, though focused predominantly on a doomed love affair and populated largely by talkative females, Atonement delivers its real wallop when it goes to war, offering a stunning battle scene not out of place in the first rank of war movies.

A legitimate Best Picture candidat…

Pearl Harbor
Great 6 Points 2001

Quite a riveting tale of a love triangle and the devastating attack that left our nation at a loss for words.

Patton
Great 83 Points 1970

Essential though Patton may be – as war movie, as American history, as biopic – it’s not the epochal statement the Academy thought they were canonizing with seven Oscars in 1971, including Best Picture. Back then Frances Ford Coppola’s script seemed subversive, undermining American militarism …

Great 88 Points 2011

Popcorn movies should all be this strong. Channeling Indiana Jones’ 1940s movie tropes, Marvel’s First Avenger proves engaging from the outset, exciting from the middle and exhilarating to the end.

Notwithstanding a pair of underwhelming leads, the overall strong cast, irony-free patriotism …

Defiance
Great 83 Points 2008

Defiance is a white horse of a movie, telling an improbable and previously little known story that seems too good to be true. Anglo-Saxon star Daniel Craig playing Jewish partisan Tuvia Bielski adds to the fable. A must see for Jews and other WWII buffs, the movie delivers plenty of action, i…

Shutter Island
Great 110 Points 2010

Mannered, overtly creepy and a bit wearying, Scorsese’s trip inside one man’s tortured mind is never less than showy-great movie making. You expected something less from the Master? Instead he gives us something more: a big twist worthy of Fight Club

Great 83 Points 1996

Wow. Not many movies peg the meter in terms of skiing, mountaineering, WWII and contemporary history. This documentary does.

A great lens into the Greatest Generation, Fire on the Mountain explores the exploits of the legendary 10th Mountain Division
