The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford

Wick
– with 66 Trust Points – rated it
Bad
Think the title is long? Consider yourself warned: this boring movie never seems to end, meandering for nearly 2½ hours. Plus it commits the deadly sin of assuming that the viewer is familiar with the particulars of Jesse James’ early legend, without which the poorly told story has no narrative…

The Conspirator
|
Wick
– with 66 Trust Points – rated it
Pretty Bad
Pity poor Robert Redford. His desperate attempt to discredit 21st century military tribunals led him to craft a tortured courtroom drama that paints Lincoln’s killers as sympathetic victims of a tyrannical US government. Politics aside, The Conspirator proves hard to follow, uninvolving and o…

OK
A fun and exciting movie that delivers even though it is via a “gimick”. At first I thought it wouldn’t work, but the progressive re-telling of the story from different vantage points worked well. Each time the story is told, we are revealed a little more about what was really going on. My only …

Death of a President

BigdaddyDave
– with 5 Trust Points – rated it
Barely OK
In the mockumentary Death of a President, reality becomes blurred with fiction, as George W. Bush is "assassinated.â€
Played out as a pseudo-documentary that you may see on the History Channel, the movie integrates real film clips with staged scenes and fake interviews with actors portrayin…

OK
Denzel does a reasonable job as a bad-guy-you-want-to-root-for ex assassin on a vigilante mission. The movie drags on too long, but has its moments as a tug at your heart-strings human interest story as well as a macho take no prisoners action film.

I expected more from this George Clooney spy thriller set in a gorgeous Italian town. George plays an assassin “Jack” who is sequestered to a sleepy town for safe keeping only to be dragged in to another job. Of course, just like he isn’t supposed to, he befriends the locals – most notably the v…

Good
Can you really make an entire feature length film out of a single day’s events following JFK’s assasination? Well, yes – by following four different stories: Zapruder the famous film-maker, The Oswalds, the law, and the emergency room doctors and nurses. The result is a bit muddled, but keeps …
