Hello, My Name ...
Great 66 Points 2015

Baby Boomer date movies get no better than Hello, My Name Is Doris, about Sally Field’s senior-citizen foray into today’s millennial culture. Looking for love with a guy young enough to be her grandson, she charms and tickles in equal measure, reminding us that we like her, we really like her, …

Allied
Great 83 Points 2016

Casablanca it’s not, but Allied is a damn good romantic thriller set in WWII Casablanca, or at least initially set there. Most of the movie then takes place in London during the blitz, with Brad Pitt’s proto-007 thrust into domestic espionage against his wife, played by Marion Cotillard. It’s…

Passengers
Great 17 Points 2016

I think that most guys would agree that being trapped alone with Jennifer Lawrence would not be a bad thing, and watching it unfold along with Chris Pratt in a space travel setting was a cool way to spend a few hours. Loved Simon Pegg in his android form as well.

The Curious Cas...
Great 83 Points 2008

Literature hits the silver screen in this big budget movie that works as both romance and parable. More personal though less interesting than Forrest Gump, its closest cinematic relative, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button nonetheless deliv…

Their Finest
Great 66 Points 2016

Their Finest is an exceptionally fine movie, a post-modern take on the decidedly earnest Greatest Generation, British variety. Unfortunately, it takes exceptional effort to find a theater where it’s playing.

Speaking of exceptional, Gemma Arterton, Sam Clafin and Bill Nighy are exceptionally…

The Hero
Great 66 Points 2017

Sam Elliott deserves a Western-icon lifetime achievement award. Hey, that’d make a great little movie, if it included the behind-the-scenes angst of an elderly man facing his mortality, even as he’s feted by fans and groupies alike. The Hero is all that, albeit Elliott plays a less successful d…

Baby Driver
Great 83 Points 2017

Choreography comes to car chases in Baby Driver. British director Edgar Wright’s benchmark blockbuster presents like Tarantino set to music. Nowhere to Run, Radar Love and Never, Never Gonna Give Ya Up lead the 60s & 70s chestnuts that impart old-school cool into this new-school movie. Star…

Tallulah
Great 17 Points 2016

It all starts with a drifter who kidnaps a baby, and gets way more complicated from there. The characters involved are the the real story, but the twists, turns, ups and downs make the story great as well. Stand up jobs by Ellen Page, Allison Janney, and Tammy Blanchard.

Wedding Crashers
Great 66 Points 2005

Wedding Crashers still slays almost a decade and a half after it knocked ‘em dead in theaters. But it also feels suddenly dated, and not just because it harks from BI (Before iPhone). No, it’s a fossil because it makes light of womanizing, a comedy topic that’s decidedly unwelcome in the post-2…

Battle for Seva...
Great 17 Points 2015

If you liked ‘Sniper’, this is a sniper you’ll want to see. It is worth sticking out the subtitles for this great story about Lyudmila Pavlichenko, the most successful female sniper in history. This is a Bio-Drama war flick, so you’ll be highly engaged as you follow her story as war forces her t…
