How to Be Single
OK 66 Points 2016

Young women are the target demographic of How to Be Single. I’m neither, so found this melodramatic romcom more tedious than funny. But frequent female laughs indicate it works with its intended audience.

Love & Friendship
OK 66 Points 2016

Extravagantly praised and extravagantly mounted, Love & Friendship proves a bit dull. OK, extravagantly dull. Jane Austen wrote about women whose fortune depended on marriage, comically albeit dully here.

Kate Beckinsale & Chloë Savigny play mean girls who get over on husbands, children an…

Allied
Great 83 Points 2016

Casablanca it’s not, but Allied is a damn good romantic thriller set in WWII Casablanca, or at least initially set there. Most of the movie then takes place in London during the blitz, with Brad Pitt’s proto-007 thrust into domestic espionage against his wife, played by Marion Cotillard. It’s…

Passengers
Great 17 Points 2016

I think that most guys would agree that being trapped alone with Jennifer Lawrence would not be a bad thing, and watching it unfold along with Chris Pratt in a space travel setting was a cool way to spend a few hours. Loved Simon Pegg in his android form as well.

Café Society
Really Great 17 Points 2016

Jessie Eisenberg and Kristen Stewart in this unmistakably Woody Allen movie. So good in fact, that they channeled Woody and Diane Keaton in the setting of 1930’s Hollywood. The blend of Bronx Jewishness amongst Hollywood glitz is a combination that made for some great character shticks… great…

Their Finest
Great 66 Points 2016

Their Finest is an exceptionally fine movie, a post-modern take on the decidedly earnest Greatest Generation, British variety. Unfortunately, it takes exceptional effort to find a theater where it’s playing.

Speaking of exceptional, Gemma Arterton, Sam Clafin and Bill Nighy are exceptionally…

Tallulah
Great 17 Points 2016

It all starts with a drifter who kidnaps a baby, and gets way more complicated from there. The characters involved are the the real story, but the twists, turns, ups and downs make the story great as well. Stand up jobs by Ellen Page, Allison Janney, and Tammy Blanchard.

The Bad Batch
Barely OK 17 Points 2016

Banished to the desert by law enforcement to a land of cannibals and drug users? The whole movie makes very little sense. Sort of poorly done Mad Max.

Good 17 Points 2016

Melancholy mystery follows an Australian lighthouse keeper and his wife’s plot to adopt a baby that isn’t their own. Involving drama and great scenery. Worth a watch.
