1922
Really Great 17 Points 2017

Stephen King’s version of Nebraska corn farming life. Take a down home farmer in 1922, throw in a twisted psyche, and voila – a macabre cornfield horror-drama. Don’t let the horror genre label turn you off; It is very well done. Even Edgar Allen Poe and Alfred Hitchcock would be impressed.

Hostiles
Great 83 Points 2017

The American Indian Wars were mostly over by 1892. Bad blood ran deep, with bands of crazed killers roaming the land, as other combatants tried to move on with life after wartime. Writer-director Scott Cooper adroitly uses this brutal and beautiful milieu for a piercing story about a cavalry capt…

The Meyerowitz ...
Very Good 17 Points 2017

What happens when a family full of 1st world child trauma and most of the Jewish cliché profiles imaginable come together for a weekend in New York. Oh, and done by possibly the best-ever cast of dry-comedy wielding actors? Absolute hilarity! See this movie.

Suburbicon
Good 17 Points 2017

I had no idea that this sleeper directed by George Clooney and deftly acted by Matt Daemon & Julianne Moore even existed. A surreal view of what happens when you insert bad actors and desperate measures in the perfect (and perfectly white), master-planed suburb in the 1950s. It is hard to put my…

Kodachrome
Great 17 Points 2017

Ed Harris and Jason Sudekis show high quality acting in this very well done drama about life’s journey in to the sunset. Even though the story was predictable, it accomplished its tear-jerking mission via a father/son story that pushes all the buttons.

Journey's End
Good 17 Points 2017

Major drama focusing on the deep feelings of fear and dread from British Officers stuck in a dugout in Aisne in 1918. The Germans are about to come over the wall, and it took unbelievable bravery to overcome raw nerves where the reward was death and destruction. The movie was a bit overbearing …

Lady Bird
Great 17 Points 2017

Saoirse Ronan and Laurie Metcalf are excellent in this heart-touching coming of age story. Saoirse is the self-named ‘Lady Bird’ – put in to Catholic school by her over bearing mom to save her from the streets of Sacramento. The story runs the usual gamut of parental relations, love, clique-y h…

55 Steps
Very Good 17 Points 2017

Helena Bonham Carter and Hillary Swank make a great pairing in this inspiring tale of Eleanor Riese and her fight for mental patients rights. But the story isn’t just about that; it is about her unique personality and the enduring friendships she formed. Good stuff.

Logan Lucky
Great 17 Points 2017

Steven Soderbergh creates a tongue in cheek classic about down on their luck brothers who decide on reversing their fortunes via a hillbilly heist. The homeboy humor deserves a cult following if it doesn’t already have one. The cast alone is worth it with Channing Tatum, Katie Holms, Adam Driver,…
