Very Good
Amazingly, this is the first Rocky I’ve ever sat through, even though R1 came out when I was in high school. This is certainly a grand valedictory for Sly’s seminal character.

Really Great
Poignance, glory, Denzel: three ingredients that make Titans a great football movie. Poignant as in funny and affecting, glorious as in achieving great and meaningful victories, Denzel as in pure movie star charisma.

Wick
– with 66 Trust Points – rated it
Really Great
Brutally brilliant, Raging Bull grew legendary after fading from the silver screen. It remains one of the greatest movies ever made, flawed only by Cathy Moriarty’s disappointing portrayal of Vickie La Motta. Everything else – notably Scorsese’s up-close and personal filmmaking, coupled with …

“Jesse Owens, American Hero” are four words that were imprinted in my mind from an early age. Jackie Robinson stands with him as an icon of African-American greatness, and therefore of American greatness, but Jesse Owens came first, by a lot. Plus he won not just one but four Gold Medals and did …

Disney teams up with ESPN films on this feel-good/third-world/girl-power ‘brain sport’ film about the true and inspiring story of Ugandan chess prodigy Lupita Nyong’o and her mentor David Oyelowo. Colorful, vibrant, and sometimes dramatic – the film keeps you engaged rooting for the underdog.

OK
Not a disaster, but you won’t be missing much if you skip this one. It was filmed as if they came up with the action sequences first, then cobbled a lame story to tie it together. Except the writing part fails miserablly. Oh well.

Great
A moving chess movie you say? Yeah – I didn’t think it was possible either, but the story of Fischer v Spasky was inspiring. The crazy paranoid Brooklyn boy reveals his brilliance before an eventual spiral towards insanity. The chess community was equally as crazy as they too-patiently dealt w…

Perhaps a movie past its time – when the Dallas Cowboys were TV America’s Team – but a rousing and funny movie nonetheless. Notable for a classic Nick Nolte man’s man performance, football action that for the first time seemed real, and a whiff of the larger changes going in 1970’s society outsi…
