Waitress
Very Good 24 Points 2007

To Jenna (Russell), baking is an art and pie is her favorite canvas. She uses precision and care into each step. Jenna works at a local pie shop where she waitresses and makes the pies. There are nearly 30 regular flavors not to mention that she invents a new flavor and makes it every day. Jenna…

Son of Rambow
Really Great 24 Points 2007

This movie was a delight to watch. An whimsical journey in to the lives of two young boys. Will, the product of an austere mother and religion and Lee, a mischevious troublemaker band together to make a movie – which is a product of Will’s amazing imagination and Lee’s industriousness. This stor…

Benny And Joon
Great 25 Points 1993

A quirky delight of a film that follows Benny and his care of his mentally ill sister Joon. Who is Joon’s perfect match? Well certainly the eccentric Sam. The movie cleverly intertwines the lives of Benny, Joon, their friends, and newfound acquaintances in to a witty tale that will surely enterta…

Great 29 Points 2004

This playful romp of a movie follows the trials and tribulations of Pete Tong, a maniacal DJ who loses his hearing. Watch what happens when the boozing, coke-snorting, womanizing Pete discovers that he can no longer hear well enough to mix tunes. With his world crashing down around him, can Pete …

Funny People
Good 40 Points 2009

Funny times and, well, not so funny times in this movie that centers around a comedian who learns of his terminal illness. At times, LOL moments get you going, but at other times, it seems the producers left too many scenes in… In the end, the movie is engaging and fun, and if you can weather…

Easy Virtue
OK 66 Points 2009

This well mounted period piece delivers entertaining drama and comedy, notwithstanding Jessica Biel’s lame performance as the central character. In a movie taken from a play by the great Noël Coward, her performance recalls two of The Master’s

The Mighty Quinn
Barely OK 66 Points 1989

Mighty disappointing. Denzel and a cast of Americans fail to capture the spirit of Jamaica in this witless romp. Even the upbeat Jamaican music – always a treat – can’t save this awkward star vehicle from its contrived runnings. Roger Ebert gave The Mighty Quinn four stars! What was he smok…

Witless, charmless, lacking in chemistry.

OK 78 Points 2009

An amiable dramedy that’s not very dramatic or funny, this star-studded movie plays like a full employment program for young Hollywood. Singles (especially of the female persuasion) and just-marrieds might find it worth seeking out. For the rest of us, there are worse ways to pass the time on a…

Whip It
OK 83 Points 2009

Drew Barrymore’s directorial debut nails her target audience’s erroneous zone: every good girl’s desire to breakout. Running riot in bohemian Austin’s roller-derby circuit gets ’er done, especially given how Texans revere contact sports.

Still, star-driven female empowerment does not a transc…
