Very Good 66 Points 1963

Federico Fellini’s is self-referential in the extreme, as his fever-dream of a movie-about-the-making-of-a-movie parodies the self-indulgence of its maker. Nice work if you can get it.

Still, it is a classic, widely acclaimed to be amongst the greatest and most influential movies of all …

8 Mile
Very Good 66 Points 2002

Iconic rapper Eminem achieved pop culture immortality in this loose recreation of his emergence from the Detroit hip-hop scene. It’s been said that 8 Mile plays like a rap version of Saturday Night Fever. True enough, though it achieves greater resonance by profiling its own star and memo…

7 Days in Entebbe
OK 83 Points 2018

The Raid on Entebbe stands as one of the great military feats of all time. Then there’s 7 Days in Entebbe, which stumbles along as a just OK recreation of that legendary event. Leftist in orientation, this Jeff Skoll production1 tells a full story about the communist kidnappers and their radi…

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.

Very Good 17 Points 2013

42 gives us a part of baseball history that fans and non-fans alike should see. As much as it is a decent baseball story, it is an even better story about American history. This glimpse into how Jackie Robinson made his way from a Negro league to the Brooklyn Dodgers was more complex than a simpl…

300: Rise of an Empire is Greek history through a fantasy lens darkly, prequel and sequel to the ‘06 hit about King Leonidas and his band of 300. The new movie’s nearly 4x Reality factor stems from Frank Miller’s graphic novel, full of vainglorious liberties, supernatural contrivances and hist…

Good 139 Points 2006

Highly stylized though affecting movie brings a comik sensibility to an ancient battle. I ended up liking it more than I thought I would, since King Leonidas makes a great hero and his wife a worthy Queen.
