To Catch a Thief
Very Good 66 Points 1955

Before It Takes a Thief there was To Catch a Thief, an exercise in high style, sumptuous settings and 1950s thrills, featuring the most glamorous couple in Silver Screen history.

Cary Grant & Grace Kelly are über attractive as a rich heiress and a cat burglar … who was also a hero of the…

Top Gun: Maverick
Great 66 Points 2022

Tom Cruise’s Top Gun: Maverick succeeds spectacularly in four interconnected ways: as big screen blockbuster, sexy romp, thrill ride and patriotic paean. That it arrives nearly four decades after its origin movie matters not a whit. This long aborning sequel stands on its own. Hell, it builds o…

Trainwreck
Really Great 83 Points 2015

Trainwreck is a benchmark movie for a millennial society that refuses to grow up. Kinda autobiographical, it paints a portrait of a sexual girl named Amy who plows through hookups like a drunk quarterback at a cheerleader convention. Amy Schumer – the current supernova It Girl – based it on her…

Uncle Drew
Great 66 Points 2018

Yesterday
Great 66 Points 2019

Yesterday is the best high-concept movie in recent memory. What if the entire world never knew of the Beatles? No Hey Jude, no Sgt. Peppers, no Revolution, no Fab Four. John, Paul, George & Ringo, just lads.

Except one guy never forgot, a failed singer-songwriter who only needed one gr…
