Any Given Sunday
Barely OK 83 Points 1999

Yuck. A big F. U. to the NFL that hypocritically revels in jock sniffing, Any Given Sunday qualifies as a guilty treat mainly due to its extensive use of legendary players. Non-fans should steer clear.

Oliver Stone manages the near impossible: making the NFL banal. He wastes copious star …

Great 66 Points 1977

And So It Goes
Very Good 66 Points 2014

And So It Goes goes very well as a date night destination, especially for those of us who have received AARP junk mail. It’s a RomCom for the ages, the golden ages, which start pretty early these days.

Great 17 Points 1982

It might be considered formulaic these days, but this movie is one of the classic ‘underdog bucks the obsticles, makes it, and gets the girl to boot’ military flicks a-la Top Gun. Gere works well as the come from behind Mayo and you can’t do better than Gosset as the rough-hewn drill sergeant. De…

An Education
Great 66 Points 2009

Not your normal coming-of-age movie, this charming and engaging early-60s period piece seems likely to be remembered as Carey Mulligan’s coming-of-stardom vehicle. Carey who? That’s a question few will be asking after this splendid young star makes another movie or two.

But wait, there’s m…
