Hidalgo
Very Good 19 Points 2004

A western epic that only Disney could make – and that’s a good thing. This out of the norm cowboy action takes us from the prairie to the sands of Arabia , and all along you are on a wild ride of cowboy action, good guys and bad guys, girls who know a good cowboy when the see one, and reveren…

The Dogs of War
OK 17 Points 1981

Got African dictator coup? It used to be cliche, but its been a while – so I indulged myself in this action movie sleeper. In the end, I was entertained, but not overly impressed. Decent action, but not enough of it. Classic Christopher Walken drama – but slightly over done. A lot of time for c…

The Siege of Ja...
Great 17 Points 2016

An intriguing tale of a botched UN mission in the Congo in 1961. Irish Commandant Pat Quinlan leads resilient crew of Irish soldiers against French and other mercenaries loyal to the mining interests. The movie does a great job conveying the gallantry during the battle by the neophyte Irish sol…

Zulu Dawn
Good 17 Points 1979

Blended
Good 17 Points 2014

I went in to Blended with low expectations and actually left not hating it. Sandler and Barrymore still have some chemistry, and the family friendly cheese isn’t too overwhelming. Actually, I must admit to several belly-laughs and a general feeling that I got my money’s worth. Don’t go in to th…

Black Hawk Down
Great 17 Points 2001

A raw depiction of what it was like in Somalia. No glamor here. The peace-keepers had it really rough fighting the entrenched warlords. The movie paints the picture of an American Army facing desperate odds trying to get a job done and saving fallen comrades amidst a whirlwind of violence and may…

Queen of Katwe
Very Good 17 Points 2016

Disney teams up with ESPN films on this feel-good/third-world/girl-power ‘brain sport’ film about the true and inspiring story of Ugandan chess prodigy Lupita Nyong’o and her mentor David Oyelowo. Colorful, vibrant, and sometimes dramatic – the film keeps you engaged rooting for the underdog.
