Twilight
Barely OK 17 Points 2008

Ok, so I put off seeing this for many years, but I finally bit the bullet and watched the teenage phenomena fueling Twilight. Well, apparently I wasn’t missing much. Other than the beautiful Washington rainy backdrop, it was an amalgam of unlikely events strung together to highlight the the tee…

  • Wick – Love the review AMC. Very amusing.
Blended
Good 17 Points 2014

I went in to Blended with low expectations and actually left not hating it. Sandler and Barrymore still have some chemistry, and the family friendly cheese isn’t too overwhelming. Actually, I must admit to several belly-laughs and a general feeling that I got my money’s worth. Don’t go in to th…

The Beguiled
Good 17 Points 2017

The first thing that came to my mind when watching Beguiled is that being around all that young, southern, estrogen laden drama is bound to be more dangerous to a Yankee soldier than most battlefields. I was not wrong. Unfortunately and despite the fact that the story was quite compelling, the m…

The Apostle
Very Good 17 Points 1997

Robert Duvall takes bible-thumping to a new level as he adeptly leads us through the ups and downs of a preacher whose life threatens to spin out of control. Cheated on and ousted from his church, the Apostle’s journey takes us through rural Louisiana and a world of righteousness, passionate de…

The Good Lie
Very Good 17 Points 2014

Imagine being relocated from Sudan to Kansas. Apparently this kind of thing happens all the time thanks to charitable organizations. The Good Lie brings this to life in a heartwarmer of a tale which generates LOLs in unexpected ways. Think family movie with a kinder, gentler Reese Witherspoon …

Hoop Dreams
Very Good 17 Points 1994

5 years in the lives of two inner-city Chicago Boys (William Gates and Arthur Agee), who live, breathe, and dream basketball. You could see it in their faces, for example when Arthur gets his ear-to-ear grin when he met Isaiah Thomas during his first practice at St. Joseph’s. Where Hoop Dreams …

Undefeated
OK 17 Points 2011

Undefeated is a bit of a misnomer – the Manassas Tigers actually lost their first football game, and by hook and by crook – coach Bill Courtney took this scrappy underprivileged neighborhood team to Tennessee greatness. Bill himself narrates, so you get his story as well as his inspirational mes…

Mystic Pizza
Good 17 Points 1988

Old school (80’s) Julia Roberts date-movie. Cute but predictable story-lines about as 3 waitresses experience romantic ups and downs.

The Frozen Ground
Good 17 Points 2013

The battle of the C’s: Its Nicholas Cage vs. John Cusak in this tale based on an Alaskan true story about an attempt to take down serial rapist-killer. Cage goes after the bad guy Cusak with gusto in this somewhat haphazardly put together script. Cusak makes a great psychopath, but the connectio…

The Grey
Very Good 17 Points 2012

It’s man (especially Liam Neeson) vs wolf in this intense, bloody and brooding tale that deeply examines the law of the woods amongst the striking beauty of the snowy Alaskan? Wilderness. The climax and ending of the film does what many great stories do, put the viewer in to the position of form…
