Dangerous Liaisons
Really Great 67 Points 1988

Five big-names starring in “the best period film”1 make Steven Frears’ Dangerous Liaisons really great. Frears, he of The Queen, employs Michelle Pfeiffer, Glen Close, a nubile Uma Thurmond and a horny John Malkovich in bringing Christopher Hampton’s …

WikChip Image They are impressive. The cast, that is.
Cyrus
Very Good 88 Points 2010

Fingering two of society’s soft spots, Cyrus lampoons middle-aged singles looking for love and grown kids who’ve been emotionally indulged their entire overly-protected lives. Plus it generates plenty of LOL moments in the offing. Score.

John C. Reilly and Jonah Hill deliver great performa…

Good 83 Points 2011

Seven satiric relationships are more than enough for one sex comedy. Start with 1) a teen mooning for his babysitter, 2) the babysitter mooning for the boy’s father, and 3) the father dealing with the demise of his marriage, along with 4) a newfound Lothario status. Then add 5) his wife’s workp…

Crazy Heart
Really Great 83 Points 2009

Hard rocking and heart warming, Crazy Heart creates an Outlaw Country icon out of whole cloth, complete with instantly classic songs and Jeff Bridge’s iconic personification. Best Actor worthy? Hell yes.

Rueful, funny and incisive, this tale of alcoholic rock-bottom and the redeeming power…

Clueless
OK 66 Points 1995

Cute but dated Beverly Hills high school spoof from the mid-90s. Stars Alicia Silverstone and Paul Rudd provide plenty of charm, but the of-the-moment slang hasn’t aged well.

Charlie St. Cloud
OK 17 Points 2010

A cheesy but eventually enjoyable movie that infuses a spiritual tale with a good old fashioned Hallmark style love story. Teen idol Zak Efron does a decent job as the older brother who forgoes a successful life for the haunting of his little brother who dies tragically. As with any Hallmark-ish…

Charlie Countryman
Very Good 66 Points 2013

Charlie Countryman follows a dweeb of the same name as he flees his hometown in a fog of grief following the death of his Mother. Bucharest is his destination, though perhaps he was supposed to go to Budapest. He’s not sure, just a he’s not sure about most things. He’s the type of naive fool…

Charade
Perfect 66 Points 1963

What we have here is movie magic sans modern FX. Instead Charade conjures its allure from a couple of nonpareil moviestars delivering sparkling dialog in an idealized Paris while a seductive theme song plays in the background. Such an intoxicating mix makes it easy to fall in love with Cary Gr…
