Charlie Countryman
Very Good 66 Points 2013

Charlie Countryman follows a dweeb of the same name as he flees his hometown in a fog of grief following the death of his Mother. Bucharest is his destination, though perhaps he was supposed to go to Budapest. He’s not sure, just a he’s not sure about most things. He’s the type of naive fool…

Colombiana
Good 95 Points 2011

Take Scarface with a grain of Salt to grok Colombiana. If only this cocaine mafia thriller approached the quality of its inspirations. It’s not that it’s bad. It was perfectly fine airplane entertainment. It’s just that the story and stunts aren’t clever enough to pay off their outrageo…

Ferris Bueller'...
Very Good 66 Points 1986

Fun for kids of all ages, Ferris Bueller’s harmless hi-jinks, energetic panache and gentle farce make it the ultimate ditch day movie. Matthew Broderick will be forever associated with the title character, a charming conniver prone to belting out a Beatles song in the middle of a parade.

Glengarry Glen ...
Great 83 Points 1992

Death of a Salesman? Death of Three Salesmen, figuratively anyway. Glengarry Glen Ross famously pits salesmen against each other in a ghoulish contest where the winner gets a Cadillac, the runner-up a set of steak knives and everyone else gets fired — the motivation of the damned.

His Girl Friday
Great 66 Points 1940

Fast talking, smartalecky comedy hit a peak with His Girl Friday. Still LOL funny today, it’s also plenty clever enough to travel through the ages as intelligent entertainment for movie lovers of any generation.

How could it not be? It stars the most versatile movie star ever in Cary Grant…

Hoop Dreams
Very Good 17 Points 1994

5 years in the lives of two inner-city Chicago Boys (William Gates and Arthur Agee), who live, breathe, and dream basketball. You could see it in their faces, for example when Arthur gets his ear-to-ear grin when he met Isaiah Thomas during his first practice at St. Joseph’s. Where Hoop Dreams …

Perfect 66 Points 2013

The Coen Brothers latest is one of their best, strong praise indeed for the creators of classics that include The Big Lebowski, Intolerable Cruelty and Miller’s Crossing. Yet their evocation of a fictionalized early Sixties folk scene is pitch perfect. Star turns, outstanding songs and more tha…

Public Enemies
Very Good 92 Points 2009

Depp does Dillinger — directed by Mann, in Public Enemies. This was the most promising premiere of the summer, a perfect convergence of preeminent star in a role he was born to play – one of the most significant crime figures in American history – being directed by the maestro of high-style cr…
