Safe House
Good 83 Points 2012

Denzel Washington as a badass CIA agent gone rogue is reason enough to watch Safe House. Good thing, since the rest of the movie is just OK: weakly acted aside from the superstar, ridiculously plotted, unconvincingly over-the-top in its action. Plus it’s consumed with a WikiLeak-like passion …

Zulu Dawn
Good 17 Points 1979

I’d call Zulu Dawn “the Little Bighorn of South Africa.” If ever there was a cause more unjust – it was the British attempt to oust the Zulus from their territories in South Africa – despite the fact they were honoring an agreement to stay away. And, as this is a true story, I’m not spoi…

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…

Heartbreaker
Good 66 Points 2010

The French sure know how to concoct clever romantic comedies. If only the execution were up to snuff, Heartbreaker would be a classic of the genre. Oh bien, it screams for an American remake anyway. Hollywood simply has to cast their version better for a monster hit.

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…

Aquaman
OK 83 Points 2018

Aquaman is a whole lotta waterlogged cheese, almost 2½ hours worth. It’s not a bad movie and certainly an OK time at the movies, but is kinda turgid, as DC movies so often are. Fortunately, the cast saves the day, starting with Jason Momoa, who makes a compelling superhero, if not an especial…

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…
