 Really Great 83 Points 2011
Wick – with 66 Trust Points – rated it Really Great

Spielbergian indeed — middle school kids running their own show, parents stricken with tragedy, lots of bike riding, police cruisers and one big honking Air Force train in one hell of a crash.

Cincinnati, we’ve got a problem.

And America’s got a really great summer blockbuster. Set in mid…

Straw Dogs
 OK 17 Points 2011
BrianSez – with 17 Trust Points – rated it OK

David and Amy return to her hometown in Mississippi. A recipe for disaster taking a west coast Yankee and intellectual writer no less to confront the rough rednecks who have a historical and current liking to Amy. Dirty tricks, lots of tension and drama ensues, with a thrilling violence-filled en…

Signs
 Great 68 Points 2002
Wick – with 66 Trust Points – rated it Great

M. Night Shyamalan peaked with Signs. Wonderfully creepy and magnificently manipulative, it’s a self-consciously old-school scary movie. Even this non-horror fan enjoyed it.

Mel Gibson’s Muted Max performance anchors writer-director Shyamalan’s achingly heavy story. Leading a great cast…

 Great 110 Points 2010
Wick – with 66 Trust Points – rated it Great

Mannered, overtly creepy and a bit wearying, Scorsese’s trip inside one man’s tortured mind is never less than showy-great movie making. You expected something less from the Master? Instead he gives us something more: a big twist worthy of Fight Club…

Re-Animator
 Very Good 5 Points 1985
modern marvel – with 5 Trust Points – rated it Very Good

Re-animator is a classic. Released in 1985 to a potential niche audience and a surprising amount of critical fanfare, the film made jeffrey combs a horror icon and made stuart gordon a “master of horror.” based upon the series of short stories “herbert west: re-animator” by HP Lovecraft, the film…

Mama
 Good 66 Points 2013
Wick – with 66 Trust Points – rated it Good

Ghost stories should all be as good as Mama, as should Jessica Chastain performances. While the teens in Mama’s PG-13 demographic may not care about Chastain, we adults dragged along for the ride do. Fortunately everyone will value seeing a first-rate ghost story – spooky, startling, affectin…

Wick – with 66 Trust Points – rated it Perfect

Tremendously entertaining and TFB1, this über-ironic masterpiece proves that Tarantino remains a supremely accomplished auteur and that Brad Pitt has reached a superstar plateau occupied by few others. LOL funny, hugely charismatic and deeply thought provoking, Inglorious Basterds enters the…
