Argo
Really Great 83 Points 2012

Two political movies were released this third weekend before the Obama retention election – one on heroic capitalism, the other recreating a little known cloak-and-dagger success during the Iranian Hostage Crisis, an otherwise dismal chapter in American history. The second movie – Argo – is th…

At Any Price
Good 17 Points 2012

Dennis Quaid and Zac Effron work well as father and son in this small town heartland drama. I’ll spare the details, but small town drama, is, well small town – and it takes some heavy hitting dramatic acting to make it interesting. Dennis fits his role like an old glove, and Zac is a natural as t…

Either way, it’s one of their best movies, not…

Battleship
Great 25 Points 2012

There is nothing like the emotion behind a good war movie. Put that to use in a good humans vs. alien story, and you have the makings of a great summer blockbuster. Battleship is a worthy blockbuster indeed. The aliens are bad-ass, and the Navy is badder, and you’ll not often have a more fun ti…
