Steve Jobs
Really Great 66 Points 2015

Steve Jobs iconified the foundation myth of Silicon Valley: brash, brilliant, started in a garage, changed the world, got stupidly rich. It was done before him and it’s been done several times since, but never as purely or dramatically. His career had more twists than a double-helix. Wannabe Stev…

Victoria
Really Great 17 Points 2015

This movie really took me by surprise. In a series of unlikely circumstances a young Spanish cutie decides to hang out with some random drunks who seem like good guys, but end up including her in on their hoodlum lifestyle. It is all strange, because what happens is totally not believable, but l…

The Revenant
Really Great 17 Points 2015

Gritty, dirty, muddy, bloody, cold, miserable… just some of the words you can use to describe trapper life in the 1800’s. Leonardo DeCaprio does a stellar job representing the will to survive surrounded by a standout cast of Tom Hardy, Domhnall Gleeson, and Will Poulter. You’ll definitely ge…

Eye in the Sky
Really Great 86 Points 2015

21st century war gets personal in the heart-pounding Eye in the Sky, one of the best 21st century war movies yet.1 Helen Mirren’s steely colonel directs a global military response to Islamist terror, adroitly coordinating activity in Kenya, Nevada, Hawaii, Bejing and Singapore from two rooms …

Really Great 66 Points 2015

Harry Potter echoes throughout The Man Who Knew Infinity, the biopic of Srinivasa Ramanujan, a math wizard from humble circumstances who rose to prominence at an opulent and august English institution. Set in the ornate halls of 1910s-era Trinity College, it profiles an amazingly able – and rea…

Kilo Two Bravo
Really Great 17 Points 2014

I honestly haven’t seen a more suspenseful, brutal and painful to watch war movie. Coming from a war movie junkie, there were times where I had to hide my eyes like a squeamish woman. The other thing about Kilo Two, is it is the first war movie (that I remember) that focuses on helplessness an…

Morituri
Really Great 66 Points 1965

Morituri is a terrible title for a movie, now and in 1965 when this Brando-Brynner warhorse premiered. If that wasn’t bad enough, Marlon Brando refused to do publicity, limiting himself to one line of perverse grandiosity. The movie bombed. So they renamed it The Saboteur: Code Name Morituri

Free State of J...
Really Great 83 Points 2016

Newton Knight is a newly essential Matthew McConaughey role that finally knights Newt Knight as a true American hero. Even more, Free State of Jones is an only-in-America story, so corny it could only be true. A deeply moral white man frees enslaved blacks and marries a black woman during the C…

The Infiltrator
Really Great 66 Points 2016

Coke culture from its Eighties heyday comes alive in The Infiltrator, a biopic that profiles the Medellin Cartel’s apparent money launderer. This guy lived la vida loca in all its money grubbing, slimy glory.

Bryan Cranston is nails as real-life U.S. Customs agent Robert Mazur, who went de…

Rain Man
Really Great 66 Points 1988

Who’s on first? Tom Cruise to start, until Dustin Hoffman outshines him in an acting duet for the ages. Rain Man is all that and much more, a wonderful movie full of charm, humanity and insight. It won the Big Four Oscars in 1989 – Best Picture, Best Actor (Dustin Hoffman), Best Director and Be…
