Robert Kennedy was going to save America, according to his campaign staff. He was stirring the emotions and hope of a nation struggling with Viet Nam and racial tensions. An all-star cast is present in this film based on the shooting of Kennedy, providing the viewer with a patchwork of stories th…

Great
The Queen is a showcase of Helen Mirren’s acting prowess. The main story takes place during the time surrounding Diana’s death and the disdain of the royal family (except Charles) in being forced to deal with the ex-Royal. This turns out to be a terrific venue to showcase the queen’s stiff yet …

Good
Highly stylized though affecting movie brings a comik sensibility to an ancient battle. I ended up liking it more than I thought I would, since King Leonidas makes a great hero and his wife a worthy Queen.

OK
For the most part, it wasn’t terribly engaging, despite the topic that is near and dear to our hearts. Until near the end of the movie, when Michael Shanon says the line: “We’re marines and you are our mission” when the trapped cops were worried their rescuers would leave. Then the drama of the …

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…

Perfect
Charlie Wilson’s War is great American comedy, successful on many levels: belly-laugh funny, serious as a crutch, magnificently produced, charismatically performed. How could it not be? A feel good story about an oh-so-likable Texas Congressman taking it to the Evil Empire when no one else wo…

Bad
Think the title is long? Consider yourself warned: this boring movie never seems to end, meandering for nearly 2½ hours. Plus it commits the deadly sin of assuming that the viewer is familiar with the particulars of Jesse James’ early legend, without which the poorly told story has no narrative…

Great
Anti-denigration: The Great Debaters teaches us the root of ‘denigration’ and much more, especially how Wiley College’s debate team rose up to defend their rightful position as heirs to American greatness.
Every history lesson should be this entertaining: Denzel Washington sees to that, dire…
