Bull Durham
Great 66 Points 1988

Bull Durham set a new standard for sports movies. Jocks on screen had never been this smart, this sexy, this suave. It’s also a classic Susan Sarandon liberated-woman picture, here a JuCo English teacher with a thing for baseball players. She’s pretty and they’re dumb, until she runs into Kevin…

The Peanut Butt...
Really Great 66 Points 2019

One of the best movies of 2019 suffers from a terrible title of four words that don’t normally go together. People tend to ignore movies this poorly titled. Pity. This movie’s greatness starts with its plot: a Down’s guy goes out on the lam, buddies up with a hard-bitten fisherman, rafts a river,…

The Witches of ...
Very Good 66 Points 1987

Superstars at the height of their stardom made The Witches of Eastwick a stargazer’s delight in the late 80s. The starfucking combination of Nicholson, Sarandon, Pfeiffer and Cher still makes for a deliciously naughty movie.

It’s also funny as hell, especially the middle reel when Nicholson…

Animal House
Perfect 66 Points 1978

Animal House is many things: riotously funny movie, cultural touchstone, seminal hard-R teen comedy. Those make it a font of archetypes and catchphrases, including Bluto (“Seven years of college down the drain.”), Neidermeyer (“A Pledge Pin!”), Dean Wormer (“DOUBLE SECRET PROBATION!”), Flounde…

Blindspotting
OK 66 Points 2018

Oaktown gets its closeup in Oakland-native Daveed Diggs’s Blindspotting. Diggs cowrote the movie with costar Rafael Casal, a Berkeley native. So they know the Town, including its many contradictions. Unfortunately, their film stumbles often, coming across as a clumsy imitation of Atlanta, Don…

Grizzly Man
Great 26 Points 2005

The story of Timothy Treadwell – famously known for going out into the wild and chronicling the lives of bears. He saw himself as a savior of the bear and of nature. The filming is incredible. The man got close. In the end, he got too close. This is no surprise after getting to know him. He wa…

Saint Ralph
Very Good 22 Points 2004

This is a gem of a movie that provides a humorous twist on the traditional inspirational sports movie. Follow the, um, a little overly hormonal Ralph who desperately wants to find a way to cure is coma-ridden mom. How? Well, by performing a miracle and winning the Boston Marathon. Against all a…

The Internship
Good 20 Points 2013

I hate to admit it, but this 2 hour Google commercial was frequently funny. With the two-peas-in-a-pod due of Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn, along with funny up and comers, and proven formula direction by Vince Vaughn, this was no surprise. To be sure, at times I had to grimace through outrageo…

Jobs
Good 20 Points 2013

Ashton Kutcher leads an impressive cast to tell the story of an impressive Steve Jobs. Those of us who hail from Silicon Valley have heard it all before – yet we all yearn to get closer to the real man behind the stories. Jobs gets us one step closer to his hippie and maniacal past, is brillian…
