The Social Dilemma
Great 66 Points 2020

Much of the commentary in The Social Dilemma goes to stupid extremes, yet this Netflix produced docudrama is packed with powerful insights. Vividly visualized, expounded upon and dramatized, it vivifies the effect that YouTwitFace has on people. It goes wrong when it goes political, falling pre…

Greyhound
Great 66 Points 2020

Greyhound delivers naval battle action that will likely never be topped. USN Captain Tom Hanks orders his men to General Quarters more often than you’ll go to the fridge for refills. Torpedoes get fired and outmaneuvered, depth charges deployed and cannons barraged at levels rarely seen and nev…

Run Hide Fight
Really Great 66 Points 2020

Biden voters won’t like Run Hide Fight, a movie about the Trump half of the country. Folks in Trump country eschew victimology. The left obsesses on it. We celebrate lone heroes doing what needs done.

Isabel May as Zoe Hull is a hero who does all that and more when her high school gets attac…

No Time To Die
Barely OK 66 Points 2021

James Bond is dead, literally and figuratively. Daniel Craig resurrected him better than any actor ever, but has now acquiesced to character suicide in the depressing and desultory No Time To Die. Sorry for the plot spoiler, but a lifetime of rushing to see James Bond movies is now yet one more…

The King's Man
Really Great 66 Points 2021

The King’s Man was sprung on an unsuspecting world in late 2021, at once familiar and head-scratching. Why would the third Kingsman have a new cast led by Ralph Fiennes? In the event, all became clear. The King’s Man is the prequel to Kingsman I & II. Make that the ultimate prequel, _the King…

The Last Duel
Great 66 Points 2021

Matt Damon succeeds grandly in The Last Duel, a gloriously old-fashioned yet manifestly modern movie. This epic hews closely to the apparent history of the last duel-to-the-death in medieval France, a time of knights-in-shining-armor during the Hundred Years’ War

Very Good 66 Points 2021

Second-tier Marvel is first-class entertainment in the form of the 2021 Venom: Let There Be Carnage, especially given Tom Hardy being directed by Andy Serkis. The legendary Serkis knows his way around tangible superego characters, having been Gollum in Lord of the Rings….
