Animal Kingdom
Good 66 Points 2010

Charismatic, disorienting and brooding, Animal Kingdom presents the truthy tale of an infamous crime family, including their murder of two Melbourne cops. The brooding gets a bit much by the third reel, weighing down what would otherwise be a great true-crime movie.

The charisma comes from …

Retro, romantic, and refreshingly revisionist, Baz Luhrmann’s latest stylized production hits more than it misses in its grand sweep of his native country. A great date movie for grownups, this big, big show has something for both men and women, though I can’t imagine many guys taking it in on t…

Great 83 Points 2014

Kill Me Three Times is a terrifically entertaining piece of pulp fiction. Three deadly sins – wrath, greed, lust – play out in darkly comic circumstances. Set in a sunny beach town, it’s a ripper from Down Under.

Pacific Rim
Very Good 88 Points 2013

The matchless mind of Guillermo del Toro comes through on his biggest canvas yet. His Pacific Rim is perfectly attuned to the neural frequencies of 13 year-old males. Yield to it, be one with it, drift inside its richly envisioned adolescent outlook, and the movie is a near continuous tickle….

Really Great 66 Points 2013

Mary Poppins has a fascinating and affecting backstory. Who knew. Yet it’s not a surprise when you think about it. Then, how much have we thought about Mary Poppins? Deeply that is. We’ve watched it, each of us, first as kids, loving it like no other movie. It’s the perfect kid’s movie afte…

Sirens
Very Good 66 Points 1993

A supermodel performing super-softcore porn overshadows a semi-true story about superstar artist Norman Lindsay and his semi-libertine life in the semi-super Sirens. Notable mostly as the movie debut – and movie peak – of Covergirl Queen Elle Macpherson

Melancholy mystery follows an Australian lighthouse keeper and his wife’s plot to adopt a baby that isn’t their own. Involving drama and great scenery. Worth a watch.
