Green Book
Really Great 17 Points 2018

Viggo Mortensen knocks one out of the park as the bigoted Bronx Italian American Tony Lip who gets a job driving a sophisticated black Jazz star Don Shirley (played by Mahershala Ali – who is also really great). Based on a true story, this is clearly a progressive messages film, the two bond an …

Like Father
Barely OK 17 Points 2018

Why Kelsey Grammar, Kristen Bell, and an understated Seth Rogan couldn’t make more our of this low-budget film is a bit of a mystery. It had potential, but the further in you got, you realized it is really just a Royal Caribbean commercial.

Perfect 66 Points 2018

Into the Spider-Verse is the best Spider-Man movie ever, by far, and also the best 2018 movie I’ve seen. No surprise, it represents the super-pairing of Stan Lee & Marvel’s Spider-Man with über-brilliant pop culturalist Phil Lord, he of the super smart and buoyantly funny Lego Movie

Blindspotting
OK 66 Points 2018

Oaktown gets its closeup in Oakland-native Daveed Diggs’s Blindspotting. Diggs cowrote the movie with costar Rafael Casal, a Berkeley native. So they know the Town, including its many contradictions. Unfortunately, their film stumbles often, coming across as a clumsy imitation of Atlanta, Don…

Mid90s
Great 17 Points 2018

Urban bored kids embrace the Mid90s skateboard culture. This story told through the primary experience of the youngest member of a 5-kid bunch highlights the good and the bad of growing up when life isn’t so rosy. Great film.
