Great 104 Points 2007

Great – if sadly flawed – exploration of the early California oil industry, dramatized through the exploits of an entrepreneurial ogre. A Chinatown for Oil, the movie serves as fascinating Golden State period piece and socialist screed, decrying the imagined crimes of tycoons as it celebrates …

Really Great 66 Points 1954

There’s No Business Like Show Business and there was no show business phonier than vaudeville, till movies. So an overtly phony movie about vaudeville makes for a phony convergence. It was perhaps the last of the musical extravaganzas, a calorically rich compendium of Irving Berlin’s showstoppi…

Third Person
Very Good 3 Points 2013

Once in a while a different movie comes along delivering a new memory from the theatre, exploring new dimensions of the human experience in a different but refreshing way. Third Person achieves that result. It is a romantic drama distorted by the extremes in emphasis, not enough character devel…

This Is England
Great 42 Points 2006

Really Great 83 Points 2017

This oddly titled gem is a crazy crime movie from MidAmerica, set in fictional Ebbing, Missouri, not in Fargo, North Dakota, or Hibbing, Minnesota, or a real hicksville you may know in the Central Time Zone.

Forbidding title aside, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing is readily accessible and se…

Very Good 66 Points 1974

Thunderbolt And Lightfoot still entertains nearly half a century after it premiered. The star power of Clint Eastwood and a young Jeff Bridges see to that, as does a cockamamy story about Montana bank robbers.

Mostly it’s a first-rate buddy picture, not unlikely buddies but very likely budd…

Time Out of Mind
Very Good 17 Points 2014

Gere shows a new dramatic side in Time Out of Mind, and it is worth checking it out. Who knew such a polished Holywood-ite could do homeless so well. Alongside are greats Ben Vereen, Steve Buscemi, and Kyra Sedgwick to let us all in on the life of a man made homeless due to mental illness. Agai…
