Outlaw
Pretty Awful 7 Points 2007

If any film could be the embodiment of absolute rubbish, ‘Outlaw’ is that film. I honestly can’t understand why Sean Bean and Bob Hoskins agreed to star in this. Or why I sat and wasted two hours of my life watching it.

Journey to the ...
OK 74 Points 2008

Entirely serviceable entertainment for young boys, and those in touch with their inner boy.

Note that I saw it as an airplane movie, so it was most assuredly not the 3D version. I bet it’d be a hoot and a half in 3D. But why stop there? The movie was clearly designed with a future theme p…

I Am Legend
Good 102 Points 2007

I Am Legend is a darn good zombie movie, though I admit, zombie flicks aren’t my faves. Will Smith’s tremendous charisma carries the picture, a good thing since he’s the only person on screen for much of it.

WALL·E
Good 29 Points 2008

Cute Pixar movie. You definitely found yourself identifying with the Wall-E as a human like character, and the adventure with the female bot Eve on a quest to return humans to the planet was a fairly engaging story. Amazing animation and decent action, but my daughter and I found ourselves bored…

The Third Man
Good 66 Points 1949

Classic film noir doesn’t necessarily age well, The Third Man a case in point, cool cover notwithstanding. Slow and stilted by contemporary standards, it nonetheless deserves its status as a benchmark of the genre, if not the perfect rating so many give it. Most intriguingly, it would make a …

A Knight's Tale
Good 17 Points 2001

Heath Ledger stars in this slightly offbeat take of a commoner’s quest for fame and love in Old England. Although it didn’t do that well in overall reviews, I personally found this movie to be very entertaining, full of entergy and humor and a delightfully refreshing albeit off-camber approach to…

Rabbit Proof Fence

A moving, true story set in Western Australia in 1931 about three aboriginal girls, taken from their homes, and sent to a camp where they can learn to be servants "to save them from themselves.” Mr. A.O. Neville (Kenneth Brannagh), the Chief Protector of Aborigines, is the legal guardian of ev…

Winter's Bone
Very Good 96 Points 2010

Heroism and bravery have a new name, and that name is Ree. Just 17 years old, Ree’s as brave and heroic as any movie hero ever. Played by stellar newcomer Jennifer Lawrence, her quest – Winter’s Bone being a quest movie – is so virtuous and she’s so intrepid, so true, that you know she’s boun…

Taxi Driver
Very Good 16 Points 1976

In my first viewing of Martin Scorsese’s Taxi Driver, I thought it was a very well made film and respected the fact that it was in fact one of the greatest films ever made. However, I simply didn’t like it as much as other people did. There was something missing that made Scorsese’s other films…
