Matt Damon succeeds grandly in The Last Duel, a gloriously old-fashioned yet manifestly modern movie. This epic hews closely to the apparent history of the last duel-to-the-death in medieval France, a time of knights-in-shining-armor during the Hundred Years’ War…

The Kennedys no longer occupy the white-hot center of American consciousness, as they did in the Sixties. The Kennedys, a high quality docudrama, reminds us why they held that position nearly thru the Nineties. Ultimate 1%ers, they looked, acted and misbehaved like royalty, yet became beloved…

The Big Short isn’t the Big Lie, but isn’t far from it either. The government hides just offscreen in Adam McKay’s seriocomic docudrama about the epic falsehoods that consumed the banking industry in 2008. Falsehoods one and two were Washington’s ability to safely stimulate homeownership amo…

Ok, so although I was dragged in to this as an unwilling participant — who could argue with watching Natalie Portman and Scarlett Johansson for a few hours? They both convincingly played Ann Boleyn and Mary Boleyn through the drama of being consort and wife of Henry the 8th. Eric Bana, an unkno… |

A fascinating accounting of Hitler’s last 12 days, from the recollections of Traudl Junge, his final secretary. Bruno Ganz is a shoe-in for the maniacal and increasingly psychotic and out of touch Fuhrer. As Berlin crumbles all around him, there’s barely more than teenagers defending the tur… |

Admit it. You always wanted to know all the gory details about how John Wilkes Booth got into the Presidential box at Ford’s Theater, how he got away, got captured and got killed. Who hasn’t? Killing Lincoln dramatizes that and more, providing an unflinching view of history that’s a valuab…

This history of Pu Yi – the last emperor of China is quite the epic. Chinese history is not well known to most, never mind the complicated transition from Empire, to Nationalism, to Japan domination, and finally to communism. Pu Yi was born in to emperor-hood, was ousted by chiang kai shek, cozie… |

This magnificent political biography also happens to be a very good movie. Not a great movie, but a great and important story, well told and even better acted by its two leads. Lessons in history and leadership should all be so charismatic. The movie has rhythms and totems unfamiliar to Amer…

Dallas Buyers Club is another triumph for Matthew McConaughey. It’s also a vivid evocation of the gritty side of Dallas circa 1985, along with the chaos that accompanied the early years of the AIDS epidemic. However, like its lead character, the movie is self-satisfied to a fault, self-rightou…
