Long Shot
Very Good 66 Points 2019

Long Shot is often downright hilarious while also being unintentionally revealing about the state of Left Wing America, making it a very good movie, if a sad one at the same time. So it goes in our 2019 world.

The unlikely couple at the center of this post-rom romcom are Charlize Theron’s su…

Yesterday
Great 66 Points 2019

Yesterday is the best high-concept movie in recent memory. What if the entire world never knew of the Beatles? No Hey Jude, no Sgt. Peppers, no Revolution, no Fab Four. John, Paul, George & Ringo, just lads.

Except one guy never forgot, a failed singer-songwriter who only needed one gr…

Perfect 66 Points 2019

The fate of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is in sticky good hands as Spider-Man improves to perfection in Tom Holland’s sophomore outing. Indeed, Far from Home gives us everything we want in a blockbuster.

It starts by playing out the changing-of-the-guard that began in the still-in-theaters…

How to Be Single
OK 66 Points 2016

Young women are the target demographic of How to Be Single. I’m neither, so found this melodramatic romcom more tedious than funny. But frequent female laughs indicate it works with its intended audience.

Sing Street
Perfect 83 Points 2016

Sing Street is a perfect rock-n-roll movie, set around a band who defies authority, gets popular and wins The Girl. She’s played by Lucy Boynton, who makes an indelible first impression – ruby lips half-parted, cigarette hanging out one side. She turns out to have a tough situation herself, add…

Love & Friendship
OK 66 Points 2016

Extravagantly praised and extravagantly mounted, Love & Friendship proves a bit dull. OK, extravagantly dull. Jane Austen wrote about women whose fortune depended on marriage, comically albeit dully here.

Kate Beckinsale & Chloë Savigny play mean girls who get over on husbands, children an…

Trainwreck
Really Great 83 Points 2015

Trainwreck is a benchmark movie for a millennial society that refuses to grow up. Kinda autobiographical, it paints a portrait of a sexual girl named Amy who plows through hookups like a drunk quarterback at a cheerleader convention. Amy Schumer – the current supernova It Girl – based it on her…

Hello, My Name ...
Great 66 Points 2015

Baby Boomer date movies get no better than Hello, My Name Is Doris, about Sally Field’s senior-citizen foray into today’s millennial culture. Looking for love with a guy young enough to be her grandson, she charms and tickles in equal measure, reminding us that we like her, we really like her, …
