Uncut Gems
Great 66 Points 2019

Uncut Gems could be titled Deadly Sins, with the wages of sin its inevitable conclusion. Populated by a rogues gallery of serious sinners and propelled by seriously sinful decisions, the Safdie Brothers once again wallow through the flamboyant dregs of New York. It’s a glorious car-crash expe…

Blue Velvet
Good 66 Points 1986

Claimed a demented masterpiece by many, this soul-sick thriller oozes style, charisma and perverted action. Sadly, it lacks continuity, is overly affected and revels in juxtaposing drug addled wickedness with small town goodness.

Worth seeing – if you have a strong stomach – for Dennis Hopper’…

Vengeance
Good 66 Points 2022

Vengeance isn’t original. Hell, it’s the eighth movie titled Vengeance. Nor is it LOL funny, other than maybe that bit about Texas football. But it is interesting and of-the-moment and almost kind-hearted. That’s enough to make an expensive trip to the multiplex worthwhile. B. J. Novak’s pass…

Donnie Darko
Really Great 48 Points 2001

So much to love about Jake Gyllenhaal’s Donnie Darko: The sarcasm and irreverence involved in telling Donnie’s schizophrenic story is darkly funny, the macabre occurrences, inept culture, and solid 80’s soundtrack weirdly glue things together to weave a great movie together, but you need the sto…

Meet Joe Black
Good 17 Points 1998

A very entertaining and thought enspiring yarn about how life changes meaning when faced with your own mortality. This movie should be on everyone’s list of flicks to see.

Oblivion
Great 17 Points 2013

Cowboy Tom Cruise struts his stuff in this cool sci-fi mystery thriller. The review-pundits were hot-and-cold, but I was decidedly hot. I love out of this world movie premises, and Oblivion made me happy. I would have stayed happy even if it stayed as a simple good-guy vs. bad-guy thriller with…

In the Valley o...
Really Great 17 Points 2007

This was a fantastic movie. At first it seemed that it would be not much more than a

detective yarn with a military twist, but it became much more. It exposes the human drama of

loss, pain, the will and determination to seek truth, how war twists us all, coping,

just how complicated …

Non-Stop
Very Good 17 Points 2014

All you have to know is that Liam Neeson is in a film and you’ll be guaranteed lots of upset-style drama and get-it-back style action. Non-Stop is no exception, and with a airliner-terrorism meets sorry-wrong-number thriller. There are enough unique subtleties to the plot line and edge-of-seat s…

The Maze Runner
OK 17 Points 2014

An old school science fiction story that lacks a little in execution but keeps your interest. It kind of felt like Peter Pan and his pack of boys figuring out life without adults – except that it involves not just living, but organization of duties and figuring out an inexplicable maze. A decen…

Tomorrowland
Great 17 Points 2015

George Clooney is great as the grown up little boy in this swirling 1950’s childhood invoking adventure. Cool gadgetry Retro-Sci-Fi, and Disney drama; Just overlook the not so subtle liberal environmental forewarnings, and focus on some really great acting by Clooney, Britt Robertson, and Raffey …
