Solomon Northup has just become an iconic American hero, some fifteen and a half decades after he lived. Americans from this day forth will know his name like they know Patrick Henry’s or Harriet Tubman’s.

That’s not all. The mov…

127 Hours
Very Good 97 Points 2010

A real life horror movie about a bizarre true event, 127 Hours will surely be too intense for many people. It documents a lone hiker slipping down a slot canyon deep in the Utah backcountry. Bad enough. Then a sandstone boulder follows him down, crushing his right arm. It couldn’t get much …

OK 17 Points 1992

Ridley Scott’s big budget film about the famous Christopher Columbus was entertaining, but not as gripping as you’d expect from the 40M investment. The scenes, costumes, etc. were all very well done – but the movie suffers from being overly dramatic and one grows weary after an hour or so. Also…

Very Good 17 Points 2013

42 gives us a part of baseball history that fans and non-fans alike should see. As much as it is a decent baseball story, it is an even better story about American history. This glimpse into how Jackie Robinson made his way from a Negro league to the Brooklyn Dodgers was more complex than a simpl…

Very Good 17 Points 2017

Helena Bonham Carter and Hillary Swank make a great pairing in this inspiring tale of Eleanor Riese and her fight for mental patients rights. But the story isn’t just about that; it is about her unique personality and the enduring friendships she formed. Good stuff.

A Beautiful Mind
Really Great 66 Points 2001

Deeply affecting, intellectually engaging, and terrifically charismatic, A Beautiful Mind established Russell Crowe as an uncommonly talented movie star while also serving as a showcase for director Ron Howard, co-star Jennifer Connelly and everyone else involved with this Oscar-dominating prod…
