Great 7 Points 1971

For its time, The French Connection is a ground-breaking movie, and with a gripping narrative alongside brutal action and strong performances from Hackman and Schneider, it deserves recognition.

Great 7 Points 2007

This movie was just a cool movie to see. For me, a lifelong comic book reader, it was great to finally see the Silver Surfer on the screen. That aside, it was actually a pretty decent flick. You can’t go into it expecting Oscar worthy, well, anything, but have fun and enjoy the ride. The firs…

Spider-Man 2
Perfect 4 Points 2004

Peter finds great success in his superhero duties, but can’t seem catch a break (or even a snack), as he rides an emotional roller coaster while trying to balance his personal life, attend college, and make a living. Wait I don’t think Spider-Man has enough challenges…how about a nemesis to…

The Cotton Club
Good 3 Points 1984

The “Cotton Club” is one and and a half performances away from being a very good for great movie, but as they say “If my grandma had wheels, she’d have a trolley”. Well that’s not quite accurate but overall it is a very appealing, ambitious movie that is marred by a very over the top performance …

OK 3 Points 1984

Bumbled into this one and decided to watch it for a retrospective evaluation of young Sean Penn and Nick Cage, and to remind myself again why a nice brunette who finds her way to the dinner table once in a while is still the best thing to bumble into. The experience morphed into a look-back from…

Fences
Very Good 3 Points 2016

2016 was a great year in movie history filled with gems like Fences that in the end enthrall loyal moviegoers of all types. Weary of the empathy saturation inflicted on American society over the past several years, fans can walk into this safe darkness of anticipation knowing that Viola Davis pe…

A beautiful rendition of the book. Could it have been made any better? A marvelous tale beautifully told. Action, adventure, drama, relationship – this is truly an inspiring tale.

Nightmare Alley
Great 3 Points 1947

Considered by many to contain Tyrone Power’s finest performance as an actor(admittedly not setting the bar too high here) “NIghtmare Alley” is a noirish psychological thriller about an ambitious sleazebag who enters the world of carnys with the goal of getting really good as one of those phony fo…

Melanie Carmichael has it all: she is a rising star in the New York fashion industry, she attends parties with the rich and famous, and she’s engaged to the New York mayor’s son, Andrew Hennings – what could possibly go wrong in her perfect life? Maybe the fact that even though she’s due to be…
