Whiplash
Very Good 17 Points 2014

A must see for drummers and jazz fans, this movie will also please anyone who’s in for some good and tense drama. Miles Teller does a bang up job (pun intended) as the driven musician desperately trying to improve family and make it big. A little cheesy, but the antics are engrossing – so all i…

Top Five
Very Good 83 Points 2014

Chris Rock scores a solid hit with Top Five by making his movie about himself. Well, not himself exactly, but an alter ego: a big-time comedian/moviestar. Andre Allen is his name and he’s going to marry Kim Kardashian on a Reality TV special. Oops, scratch that, he’s going to marry Gabrielle Un…

Beyond the Sea
Good 83 Points 2004

The Peter Principle personified: Kevin Spacey reached his level of incompetence by writing, directing and starring in Beyond the Sea, a surreal biopic of Bobby Darin. The starring part was mostly fine.

The writing and directing parts, not so much.

Darin’s terrific songs make the movie an…

Funny People
Good 40 Points 2009

Funny times and, well, not so funny times in this movie that centers around a comedian who learns of his terminal illness. At times, LOL moments get you going, but at other times, it seems the producers left too many scenes in… In the end, the movie is engaging and fun, and if you can weather…

Rock I ran. Whoops, make that Rock Iran, as in the music of rebellion from the theocratically oppressed country threatening nuclear Armageddon. This revolutionary paradox makes Persian Cats the most important political movie of the year. A slice-of-life take on the underground rock music sce…

Good 66 Points 2011

Showbiz legends Marilyn Monroe, Lawrence Olivier, Vivien Leigh & Arthur Miller give My Week with Marilyn more sizzle than it deserves. A cinematic goddess descends to live amongst the hoi polloi and everyone loses their minds, the men mostly, the women indirectly through their men. Marilyn’s al…

Good 66 Points 1999

Who’s Next fans – and who’s not – will be delighted by this 50 minute documentary. More celebratory than insightful, it also suffers from a few omissions. However it’s all good when Pete Townshend, Roger Daltrey and John Entwistle marvel at how their benchmark album came into existence. Long…
