Very Good 66 Points 2013

This movie’s about Ruth and Bob, a fictional and extremely laconic Bonnie and Clyde. Plain names it’s got in spades, plainspoken words too. Plain, albeit a bit precious, e.g. the title: Ain’t Them Bodies Saints

Is that a question? No, it’s a Sundance sponsored project that comes up mostly…

Lawless
Really Great 83 Points 2012

Heard of the Bondurant School of Driving? Lawless is the Bondurant school of bootlegging, V8 Fords careening along dirt roads included. Indeed, the story of a legendary family of moonshiners from Western Virginia – the Bondurants – gets a monumental telling in this powerfully assured and ente…

Rango
Good 66 Points 2011

A Toy Story knock-off inspired by classic Westerns, Rango is populated with reptiles and rodents instead of toys. Unfortunately its uncuddly creatures aren’t especially relatable, even though they’re in recognizable human dilemmas, a la Pixar’s playthings.

Rango’s larger problem is a st…

Justified
Great 66 Points 2010

Hard-bitten Elmore Leonard criminals and Timothy Olyphant’s 2nd Olympian-quality lawman come together in this great new TV series. A bit of a one-trick-pony, the show nonetheless freshly surveys the darkly humorous underbelly of contemporary American society. As for the trick-pony, Olyphant’s W…

True Grit
Great 100 Points 2010

Darker and more realistic than the 1969 original featuring John Wayne, this 21st Century retelling of a classic Wild West retribution story succeeds in almost every respect — often funny, richly evocative, shockingly brutal, cleverly revisionist. That last comes from the clear hero – a 14 year …

Appaloosa
Very Good 83 Points 2008

Crisp and charismatic Western, done classically yet with an ironic sensibility. Fans of Ed Harris, Viggo Mortensen and Westerns won’t be disappointed.

Wild Wild West
Awful 7 Points 1999

On watching this film a long, LONG time after having first seen it, I realise just how terrible it is – in every sense, this film is a joke. Will Smith, normally the one saving grace in any terrible film (just look at Hancock) can’t even rescue this one.
