Happy Endings
OK 66 Points 2005

Happy Endings drew me in while channel surfing, and then turned me into an emotional captive. “Not a very good movie” I’d think, but then another emotional car-wreck would happen and I’d get transfixed anew. Was there a happy ending in the end? Sadly not. Satisfying dramatic payoff? Nope, not t…

Concussion
OK 17 Points 2013

Bored lesbian decorator decides to turn tricks to spice up her life, and everyone treats it as normal. Yep, that’s the kind of movie this is. A novel view of rich society women. If they had actually made this a sarcastic comedy – it would have been outstanding.

The Kids Are Al...
Good 88 Points 2010

Amusing albeit self-absorbed, this lesbian-family-values comedy succeeds by putting humor ahead of politics, thus creating a modestly enjoyable movie for people of all persuasions. The story of teenage kids connecting with their biological father – much to the consternation of their lesbian Moms…

Color Me Kubrick
Good 66 Points 2005

Color Me Kubrick isn’t for everyone. It was worth viewing for me because of its lens into the London show biz scene and its masterful Malkovich performance. I’d wager the more you know show business the more you’ll like this true show biz story about some nasty funny business. BTW, it’s also …

Russian Dolls
Very Good 66 Points 2005

Goodbye Barcelona. Russian Dolls sends the Euro dudes and dudettes from The Spanish Apartment to London, Paris and St. Petersburg, with a side trip for clubbing in Moscow. Fairly steady sexual tension and plenty of mildly amusing romantic hijinks make it an entertaining trip, one that’s set…

Sunshine Cleaning
Very Good 83 Points 2008

A quality date movie for grownups, Sunshine Cleaning shares more than just an ironically radiant title with 2006’s Little Miss Sunshine. Both are about overcoming failed dreams, not to mention both feature Alan Arkin as a kooky grandfather. While this year’s model doesn’t reach the inspired…

Very Good 66 Points 2002

How to make a pleasant French sex comedy? Drop half a dozen attractive young singles into one apartment, ideally in a mildly exotic city. Occasionally drop in a boyfriend or girlfriend from back home and mix in a lonely wife living nearby.

Voilà! L’Auberge Espagnole, a European hit that w…

A Single Man
Very Good 17 Points 2009

How does an orderly gay English professor deal with the death of his long-time partner? ‘A single man’ uses a pointed imagery and an artistic style to take us through a day with George. George is definitely depressed, dealing with his deep anguish by carrying out his life with its perfect or…

Dallas Buyers Club
Very Good 86 Points 2013

Dallas Buyers Club is another triumph for Matthew McConaughey. It’s also a vivid evocation of the gritty side of Dallas circa 1985, along with the chaos that accompanied the early years of the AIDS epidemic. However, like its lead character, the movie is self-satisfied to a fault, self-rightou…

Great 108 Points 1999

The Boondock Saints traffics in cliches, smoothly and high mindedly at first, then over-the-top, ultimately jumping the shark entirely. Fortunately it’s a hell of a lot of fun the whole way down.

It tells the tall tale of twin brothers who rise from the Irish precincts of South Boston to kn…
