X-Men: First Class
Great 83 Points 2011

First class prequels are Hollywood mutants, crisply intelligent rather than trite – obligatory touchstones notwithstanding. X-Men: First Class surpasses that standard, rebooting a tired saga with fresh casting, well grounded plot devices and an engaging mix of resonant themes.

Marvel achiev…

Really Great 66 Points 2009

Germans come to terms with Nazi evil in this spellbinding tale of inter-generational lovers. Searingly honest in its depiction of human weakness, the movie raises profound questions about how so many Germans participated in large scale evil within the heart of the civilized world.

Good 17 Points 2009

This is the famous WWII tale of Anne Frank and her family and friends, who hid from the Nazis in an Amsterdam attic for 2 years. In this version, Ellie Kendrick does a great job as the vocal, inquisitive teenager who except for the circumstances is like any normal 13 year old. Even if you are al…

Very Good 84 Points 2008

Well intentioned gimmick story shows the absurdity – and horror – of the Holocaust through a child’s eyes, and through the eyes of his Nazi family. It’s all here: children’s ghoulish indoctrination into anti-Semitism; “good” Germans quietly objecting to Nazi evil, though not bringing themselves …

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

Perfect 21 Points 1993

Spielberg’s incredibly impactful and cinematic re-telling of arguably the darkest period in human history won’t soon be forgotten. If you weren’t already shocked by the history of Nazism, this movie will bring it home to you with images from the Warsaw Ghetto, Auschwitz, survival and crazed blind…
