The Wolverine
Great 83 Points 2013

The title sucks, but the movie rocks. Rox tops sux. How does it rock? Let us count the ways.

  1. Marvel spins well-wrought yarns, with superheroes defined by their foibles as much as their powers. Wolverine has love-lost and anger issues. At some level, who doesn’t?
  2. Nice that he’s facing-o…

Grizzly Man
Great 26 Points 2005

The story of Timothy Treadwell – famously known for going out into the wild and chronicling the lives of bears. He saw himself as a savior of the bear and of nature. The filming is incredible. The man got close. In the end, he got too close. This is no surprise after getting to know him. He wa…

Mystery, Alaska
Very Good 66 Points 1999

Ain’t never seen Slap Shot, but it’s hard to imagine a better pure hockey movie than this. For that matter, sports movies of any sort rarely get this good. Complete with a star studded cast, plenty of laughs, and a climactic game that manages to avoid cliche, it’s a mystery that this movie is…

Insomnia
Very Good 83 Points 2002

The great Christopher Nolan directs Al Pacino and an oh-so-serious Robin Williams in an icy thriller. For fans of taut detective dramas, it’s all good.

A clever cat-and-mouse tale, Insomnia triggers the mind altering condition of its title via Alaska’s summertime sun – all day n’ all night …

The Grey
Very Good 17 Points 2012

It’s man (especially Liam Neeson) vs wolf in this intense, bloody and brooding tale that deeply examines the law of the woods amongst the striking beauty of the snowy Alaskan? Wilderness. The climax and ending of the film does what many great stories do, put the viewer in to the position of form…

The Frozen Ground
Good 17 Points 2013

The battle of the C’s: Its Nicholas Cage vs. John Cusak in this tale based on an Alaskan true story about an attempt to take down serial rapist-killer. Cage goes after the bad guy Cusak with gusto in this somewhat haphazardly put together script. Cusak makes a great psychopath, but the connectio…

The Proposal
Barely OK 66 Points 2009

Proposal rejected. A promising set-up proves insufficient to generate many laughs or even much in the way of basic charm. Sandra Bullock can’t elevate above the leaden script, perhaps because she’s never better or worse than the lines she’s given to deliver. Here they hang in the air like a la…
