A raw depiction of what it was like in Somalia. No glamor here. The peace-keepers had it really rough fighting the entrenched warlords. The movie paints the picture of an American Army facing desperate odds trying to get a job done and saving fallen comrades amidst a whirlwind of violence and may… |

Black Mass is the best movie of the year, the Irish-American Goodfellas and the best dramatic performance of Johnny Depp’s legendary career. Bold statements for sure, yet each can be substantiated.

Terrific movie that works primarily as a classic Hollywood action drama, yet also delivers a lesson about recent evil in the real world. Thankfully, the preaching rarely supersedes the story, making this a message movie that keeps its priorities straight: entertain us and the message will be eas… |

What we have here is a hard-boiled High School movie. Students in and around an underground drug ring allow Brick to revel in deceit and ironic detachment. Rian Johnson’s first movie then leavens itself through Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s romantic heroism. So what if JGL is mid-twenties posing …

Richly Romantic: JGL & Nora Zehetner

We Americans are blessedly unfamiliar with the “most violent prisoner in Britain,” a nut called Charles Bronson. I’d of happily gone on that way had Tom Hardy not become an actor whose riveting performances demand that his every great role be viewed. And his feral performance as Charles Bronson…

Bulletproof Heart is a stylishly assembled collection of cliches. There’s not enough star power in Beverly Hills to overcome its just OK screenplay, but Anthony LaPaglia & Mimi Rogers give it the old Hollywood try nonetheless. She’s tremendous as a foxy femme fatale who is sure of what she wa…

Can You Ever Forgive Me? is not unforgivably bad, but is hardly a good movie either. The small stakes crimes of a literary criminal and her wages of sin trigger our morbid fascination with human train wrecks. Is that so bad? No, but it ain’t enough to be fulfilling. Ultimately just OK, Melis… |

Live Like Jay or even Of Men and Mavericks would have been a better title than Chasing Mavericks. Plain old Mavericks would have been the most pure. Whatever the title, this soulful and occasionally thrilling movie isn’t for everyone, but it’s for lots more than just surfers. Lovers of…

The Band was a throwback during their Sixties heyday. Half a century later, they seem doubly backdated. Thus this documentary about their best album is worth seeking out only for true fans. For a onetime casual fan like me, it was mildly interesting and minimally affecting. Still, _The Nigh…

Who’s Next fans – and who’s not – will be delighted by this 50 minute documentary. More celebratory than insightful, it also suffers from a few omissions. However it’s all good when Pete Townshend, Roger Daltrey and John Entwistle marvel at how their benchmark album came into existence. Long…
