Great 66 Points 2018

Wonderfully droll and resolutely deadpan, The Old Man & the Gun strikes gold portraying a congenital thief through his long misspent life. Charming from the jump, the Old Man is played by Robert Redford, Mr. Maximum Moviestar at his octogenarian best, still charming and virile after six decades…

Mile 22
Good 17 Points 2018

Mark Wahlberg directs and plays the role of a hyperactive and gifted operative in a wannabe global covert ops flick. Think 24 meets seal team six. Fun action and Wahlberg does ok, but the characters are a bit too frenetic to follow

Can You Ever Fo...
OK 83 Points 2018

Can You Ever Forgive Me? is not unforgivably bad, but is hardly a good movie either. The small stakes crimes of a literary criminal and her wages of sin trigger our morbid fascination with human train wrecks.

Is that so bad? No, but it ain’t enough to be fulfilling. Ultimately just OK, Melis…

Good 17 Points 2018

Viola Davis, Liam Nelson, and a great cast hold together what amounted to a great plot but with an identity crisis between trying to be a great action/suspense vs a great drama. It is well worth watching, but doesn’t live up to what it could have been.

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…

The Mule
Very Good 17 Points 2018

Clint Eastwood directs himself and Bradley Cooper in this old-guy Robin Hood tale. The story has it all; suspense, family drama, crime/action, love, and more. That Clint can sure entertain

Destroyer
Very Good 17 Points 2018

Nicole Kidman is a weathered undercover detective and the central character in a great cops vs bad guys tale. A great mix of heavy drama, great character development and tense action.

John Wick: Chap...
Very Good 66 Points 2019

I ignored Chapters 1 & 2 of John Wick. No longer, given the positive word of mouth about Chapter 3. That WoM is well earned by the movie itself, which is funny as hell without being a comedy. Plus, Keanu Reeves’ limited ability to recite dialog meets its moment as John Wick, with Parabellum
