Flipped
OK 17 Points 2010

A tale of childhood romance, growing up in the late 50s, and family drama. Rob Reiner assembled a great cast, and weaves a tale of giddy kid-crushes and the back and forth of young love. The movie ends up feeling like a cross between the TV show “Wonder Years” and “The Waltons”. The latt…

Good 17 Points 2010

In this case, the movie’s title represents fairly well the content: A kind of a funny movie — but in this case it isn’t a negative. Rather, a great blend of humor with character drama: Take a teenager who over-dramatizes his depression, ends up in a mental hospital for a week, and helps hi…

Four Lions
Very Good 5 Points 2010

As a rule, satirical pieces always contain elements of truth. This premise is beautifully portrayed in Four Lions, a humorous film about the unpleasant topic of young men choosing to sacrifice themselves in an attack on “western decadence”.

While the premise of suicide bombing is terrifying …

I'm Still Here
Pretty Awful 5 Points 2010

Either Joaquin Phoenix is a terrible rapper, or he just created an ill-conceived satiric piece that completely trashes his career and image in the film “I’m Still Here.”

Ostensibly a documentary filmed by his brother-in-law Casey Affleck about Phoenix’s career transformation from actor to rap …

An amiable dramedy that’s not very dramatic or funny, this star-studded movie plays like a full employment program for young Hollywood. Singles (especially of the female persuasion) and just-marrieds might find it worth seeking out. For the rest of us, there are worse ways to pass the time on a…

Good 40 Points 2009

Funny times and, well, not so funny times in this movie that centers around a comedian who learns of his terminal illness. At times, LOL moments get you going, but at other times, it seems the producers left too many scenes in… In the end, the movie is engaging and fun, and if you can weather…

OK 66 Points 2009

This well mounted period piece delivers entertaining drama and comedy, notwithstanding Jessica Biel’s lame performance as the central character. In a movie taken from a play by the great Noël Coward, her performance recalls two of The Master’s
