The Grey
Very Good 17 Points 2012

It’s man (especially Liam Neeson) vs wolf in this intense, bloody and brooding tale that deeply examines the law of the woods amongst the striking beauty of the snowy Alaskan? Wilderness. The climax and ending of the film does what many great stories do, put the viewer in to the position of form…

Life of Pi
Very Good 83 Points 2012

Portraying religious faith amidst tragic hardship is a lot of weight for a mainstream movie to carry. Fortunately Life of Pi features visual wonders and frequent grace notes to lighten the load, resulting in an exhausting if moving cinematic experience.

The movie is taken from the celebrate…

Very Good 83 Points 2017

War is Hell — an equation that the concluding episode of Planet of the Apes hammers home relentlessly. Both sides of the war for Earth, aka the Planet of the Apes, have understandable reasons to kill The Other.

Their war is most assuredly hell, a legitimate, even perfectly justifiable hell…

Jurassic Park
Great 16 Points 1993

Contrived plot and thin characters don’t matter in the world of Jurassic Park. One of the best movies I’ve ever seen. The true stars of this film are the dinosaurs. The film has some of the most amazing special effects I’ve ever seen. The suspense keeps you at the edge of your seat the whole time…

Planet of the Apes
Great 26 Points 1968

How could you not love this movie? Ok, so it doesnn’t blow anyone away with acting, production, etc. But the story-line itself, coupled with Heston’s campy drama makes this an all time family pleaser.

Wonderful movie about a boy and his cheetah. Heartfelt, sufficiently realistic and not sappy. Bravo.

Great 66 Points 1986

Like fine wine, Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home has gotten better with age. It was too cheesy when it came out, even for Star Trek, the ultimate in SciFi fondue. That was then, this is now.

It’s set in the 23rd Century and now, when Now was 1986. I remember that ’86 Now just as I remember n…
