Wrath of the Ti...
Bad 66 Points 2012

Was this sequel really necessary? It lacks a catchphrase and apparently failed to cover its cost.

To Hades with it!

How does anyone even get caught watching a piece-o-crap like this? Two words: airplane movie.

Fortunately I have a low standard when it comes to spam-in-a-can entertainme…

Thor: Ragnarok
Perfect 83 Points 2017

Marvel puts it all together for one of their very best movies yet in Thor: Ragnarok, an absolutely terrific blockbuster, and a damn funny one at that. Crayon colored, heavenly inspired, charismatically performed, deeply rooted yet easily accessible, it would be great even it weren’t a sophistic…

The Young Victoria
Great 83 Points 2009

This ultimate princess movie recounts one of history’s greatest love stories. But it’s more than a chick flick given the lens it provides into the geopolitical machinations at the heart of the greatest empire the world has ever known. Students of history and those interested in the British mona…

The Warlords

The Queen
Great 17 Points 2006

The Queen is a showcase of Helen Mirren’s acting prowess. The main story takes place during the time surrounding Diana’s death and the disdain of the royal family (except Charles) in being forced to deal with the ex-Royal. This turns out to be a terrific venue to showcase the queen’s stiff yet …

The Princess Bride
Really Great 19 Points 1987

For a number of years, my wife kept telling me, “you must see Princess Bride!”, and I have avoided it until recently. What a mistake waiting was! Rob Reiner’s intelligently crafted satirical comedy is pure low-brow entertainment; poking fun at all those clichés in fairytale romances. A cast l…

Perfect 66 Points 1994

Fascinating history lessons are rarely tremendously entertaining, yet The Madness of King George is both. Frequently funny, often charming, it’s nevertheless chockablock with important historical insights about the British government, crown and class system, and the ignorant barbarity of pre-mo…
