Really Great 66 Points 2017

Battle of the Sexes is a terrific movie about a sociological sensation that was as fun as it was important, and it was very, very important. Bobby Riggs vs. Billie Jean King was that big. The movie illuminates not just the sexual politics at play, but also early seventies mass media and a much …

American Made
Very Good 83 Points 2017

The wages of sin are very good for Tom Cruise for a very long time in American Made, a fanciful recounting of one smuggler’s blues during the 1980s cocaine explosion. It’s a very satisfying movie, with a modicum of truth, a surfeit of crazed sexiness, and a satisfactory ending when the wages of…

Really Great 83 Points 2017

This oddly titled gem is a crazy crime movie from MidAmerica, set in fictional Ebbing, Missouri, not in Fargo, North Dakota, or Hibbing, Minnesota, or a real hicksville you may know in the Central Time Zone.

Forbidding title aside, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing is readily accessible and se…

Good 17 Points 2017

Great premise, great cast, but something was off. Matt Damon’s character; he never fulfills the potential for something really funny. The movie isn’t a total flop. It has several moderately funny moments and the whole premise of miniaturization has you wondering about the benefits should it eve…
