Ride Along 2
Pretty Bad 66 Points 2016
The Paperboy
Barely OK 66 Points 2012

Nicole Kidman’s frisky freak – while very transfixing – doesn’t rescue The Paperboy from decrepitude. It doesn’t help that she’s got a phony Southern accent, one of several in this miserable misfire of a movie.

Charlotte Bless – one of the hottest harlots in cinematic history – has eyes for…

Any Given Sunday
Barely OK 83 Points 1999

Yuck. A big F. U. to the NFL that hypocritically revels in jock sniffing, Any Given Sunday qualifies as a guilty treat mainly due to its extensive use of legendary players. Non-fans should steer clear.

Oliver Stone manages the near impossible: making the NFL banal. He wastes copious star …

The Palm Beach ...
Good 66 Points 1942

The Palm Beach Story hasn’t aged well.

A Preston Sturges’ classic, funny and loaded with iconic style, its heavy-handed comedy sometimes clanks.

No? Sue me. I’m into romantic comedies mostly for the comedy, albeit not those with too many pratfalls.

More egregiously, the use of "colo…

Miami Vice
Good 66 Points 2006

Tough enough and cool enough, though lacking the occaisional sense of humor Mann inserted in the series.

Colombiana
Good 95 Points 2011

Take Scarface with a grain of Salt to grok Colombiana. If only this cocaine mafia thriller approached the quality of its inspirations. It’s not that it’s bad. It was perfectly fine airplane entertainment. It’s just that the story and stunts aren’t clever enough to pay off their outrageo…

Pain & Gain
Very Good 83 Points 2013

Two charismatic moviestars leading a super-strong cast; only-in-Florida story; Miami Vice visual stylings: not enough to push Michael Bay’s Pain & Gain over the top into greatness. At 129 minutes, it’s almost a third too fat. Two hours and 9 minutes is too much to ask when it comes to psychopat…

Lovelace
Very Good 66 Points 2013

Linda Lovelace gets her story told her way, finally. While the whole truth doesn’t fully out, the truthyness of her bizarre celebrity does, making Lovelace a worthwhile 90 minute investment for the curious.

Her’s is the story of a pimp as much as a porn actress. A scumbag named Chuck Trayn…

Dolphin Tale
Great 66 Points 2011

Winter’s tale propels a terrific family movie. Never mind that Winter – the dolphin whose rehab from disabling injury the movie lovingly portrays – is the movie’s only real character. The fictional human characters surrounding her are easy to root for, and laugh with.

They include a father…

Chef
Great 83 Points 2014

Jon Favreau clocks a home run with Chef, a flat-out fantastic little movie. Funny and feel-good, yet not fatuous, Favreau downshifts from Iron Man into an almost equally impressive result. The guy wrote the story and stars as a likable da…
