Mercury Rising
Barely OK 5 Points 1998

Generally, an action thriller movie has action and some type of palpable tension. In the movie Mercury Rising, we have neither, squandering a wonderful opportunity to build on an intriguing story premise.

Brue Willis plays Art Jefferies, an FBI agent assigned to protect a 9 year old autistic…

The Iron Lady
Barely OK 66 Points 2011

The Iron Lady? More like the Rusty Lady. Meryl Streep’s uncanny performance as Margaret Thatcher doesn’t redeem this disjointed, disrespectful and disappointing biopic.

The Iron Lady focuses on Baroness Thatcher’s dotage, complete with dementia induced hallucinations. It achieves some pow…

Effectively two movies: the first, a boozy romp a la Mad Men; the second, a melodramatic horror of alcoholic insanity, complete with straight-jackets and padded rooms. The first is more fun. Isn’t it always, before ugly drunkenness spoils the party.

The bubbly opening reels are a San Franc…

Great 66 Points 2014

Excuse me while I dry my eyes, Glen Campbell: I’ll Be Me caused them to well-up on multiple occasions, when it wasn’t triggering deep nostalgia for a beloved entertainer. This loving documentary was made by the Rhinestone Cowboy’s family to share his struggles with Alzheimer’s before and during…
