Delivery Man
Good 17 Points 2013

The Vince Vaughn formula is tweaked a little in to more of a feel-good movie than a goofy comedy. Of course, the premise is quite goofily-funny: someone who went on a sperm-donation spree 20 years ago finds out he is the father to over 500 kids, and 150 of them want to find out who he is. Yes, …

Kodachrome
Great 17 Points 2017

Ed Harris and Jason Sudekis show high quality acting in this very well done drama about life’s journey in to the sunset. Even though the story was predictable, it accomplished its tear-jerking mission via a father/son story that pushes all the buttons.

Hud
Very Good 66 Points 1963

Paul Newman wanted to be bad and got his wish with Hud. He plays a charismatic asshole, a user and abuser whose evil becomes increasingly evident as the movie rolls along. Three Oscars came in its wake, though King Cool himself had to be satisfied with just a nomination. Think Hud would’ve s…

Great 66 Points 2008

Bleakly terrific, this compelling movie delivers sufficient tension, human interest and muckraking to qualify as an indie classic. Outstanding performances, especially by Melissa Leo, coupled with rookie filmmaker Courtney Hunt’s well crafted story and production, show why this engaging drama wo…

Malèna
Perfect 66 Points 2000

Deeply, floridly Italian, Malèna is a sumptuous WWII find, a Sicilian movie extraordinaire and a devastating depiction of Italian machismo reacting to the hottest signorina since Sophia Loren.

Monica Belluci plays the title character, a gorgeous war bride living in a small Sicilian town, bro…

Rust and Bone
Great 66 Points 2012

The good news about Rust and Bone is that it’s not about an orca trainer’s accident. It’s about her recovery. In any case, hers is only half the story, the rest being about an oafish stud with a small child in tow. What happens to father and son is tougher to take than what happens to her – …
