Father Figures
 Good 66 Points 2017
Wick – with 66 Trust Points – rated it Good

Father Figures gets in touch with the inner child lurking just below the surface of several grown men, making it an emblematic comedy of our infantilized time. Fortunately, it’s a pretty funny one, worth a play.

Uncle Drew
 Great 66 Points 2018
Wick – with 66 Trust Points – rated it Great

Ford v Ferrari
 Perfect 66 Points 2019
Wick – with 66 Trust Points – rated it Perfect

A whip-smart script about whip-smart people doing world historic things in super-cool cars going 200 MPH makes Ford v Ferrari perhaps the best sports biopic ever. Its perfect cast is led by a perfect Matt Damon.

Granted, the moviemakers had loads to work with given how iconic was the Ford GT…
