The Warlords
Really Great 66 Points 2007

As essential to understanding China as Gone with the Wind is to understanding America, The Warlords brims with operatic history, passion, blood and beauty. GWTW romanticized the 1861 American Civil War; This 21st Century Chinese production romanticizes the – a – Chinese Civil War, also f…

The Water Diviner
Great 17 Points 2014

Russell Crowe’s directorial debut is a hit. Not only does he shine as the dramatic star, but he captures the compelling story of a father’s somber journey to find and bury his sons after the bloody battle of Gallipoli. Enjoy the historical references, the drama, and the adventure. Great stuff.

The Yellow Birds
Good 17 Points 2017

Jennifer Aniston and Tye Sheridan are among a great cast in this movie about wartime trauma and the crazy acts that ensued. It turns in to a bit of a contrived whodunnit story, but was entertaining nonetheless.

To Be or Not to Be
Good 3 Points 1983

If there was an Academy Award category called Good Intentions, “To Be Or Not To Be” would have won hands down when it came out. After all, how can you fault anybody for wanting the remake of the great film comedies of all time.

But it doesn’t work. Mel Brooks, who stars and produces, went way…

Troy
Very Good 17 Points 2004

Its not often you get to see a mainstream actor in a mythic/period piece such as this, and Brad “I will look down upon your corpse and smile” Pitt doesn’t disappoint as the invulnerable Achillies. How cool is watching him take down worthy opponents with deft jumps and swift swings of his sword? …
