Star Trek Into Darkness

Just attended the special advance preview screening in San Diego last night of "Star Trek: Into Darkness." As a committed lifelong Trekkie who's seen every original episode and film far more times than I care to admit (has it been that many?) I have to confess that walking into the ...

Olympus Has Fallen

Rip-off of Vince Flynn's "Transfer of Power"

Olympus Has Fallen

Nothing more than a mirthless, suspenseless and utterly pointless Die Hard ripoff. See this only if you too can put all of your critical faculties on hold. Man, do I miss Duncan Shepherd. (And for the record, Gerard Butler is not a disgraced former secret service man. He's an actor.)

Thanks for recommending this, Scott. With a power outage in our neighborhood, Susan and I went out for dinner & a film and luckily chose this on your say so. We thoroughly enjoyed it. Susan particularly liked it so much, saying it was a such good performance from the leading ...

Quartet

This is the second Quartet movie we've had in recent months. This one was even more disappointing than the last!

Rust & Bone (De rouille et d'os)

Trying to see what anyone could like about 'Rust and Bone'...I cannot. A drab, unimaginative plot. Aimless shaky-cam, polarized, overcast photography. Barely skin-deep characterizations, less character development than in the average After School Special. Horrendously cliched writing and poor coverage of all the essential action in the story (such as ...

Jack Reacher

Sad because those Reacher mysteries/novels are some of the best reads in the genre today. Oh, the improbability of this guy traveling Lone Ranger-style around the US has to be set aside, but after that the stories can become most engaging. Even some rather improbable plot lines seem to take ...

It took me a few minutes to scroll all the way to the bottom.

Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

i refuse to watch 3d movies, but i have to wonder if your dissatisfaction with this hobbit 3d movie is more of a theatre-related problem, rather than the creative process of the show itself: "The Hobbit will also be the first 3D movie recorded and exhibited digitally at 48 frames...

War of the Buttons (La guerre des boutons)

I enjoyed Scott Marks’ review. I think that *Schindler’s List* has set the bar so high that there doesn’t need to be a new Holocaust film for another 50 years. Larry Whittaker

Lincoln

A spot-on review, Scott. But please, oh please, don't disgrace the memory of John Ford by mentioning his name in conjunction with this piece of cinematic bombast! While "Lincoln" contained (un)healthy doses of Stanley Kramer-like self importance and Richard Attenborough-like hagiography, as well as a few stabs at Howard Hawks-like ...

Skyfall

Daniel Craig has turned out to be a fantatsic choice for the role of Bond....and the films have been fantastic too. So far from the sillyness of Moonraker....

Skyfall

I enjoyed Skyfall a lot more than the reviewer. There was more character development in two major characters, 007 and M. One of the better Bond flicks.

Moonrise Kingdom

I categorically disagree with the review submitted by Ursula. In support of my opinion that this is a virtually perfect little movie is the fact that it has remained in theatres for several months and made a bunch of money. I have paid full price to see it twice and ...

2016: Obama's America

If it walks like a duck and looks like a duck and sounds like a duck it is a duck. But many true believers will never accept the message of this film because it does not agree with what they want to believe. They will drink the kool-aid.

Words

I could dream up 6 different endings to this movie. How could they choose no ending. What happened to the last third of the movie. Were they in a rush to finish it?

Moonrise Kingdom

This was a really boring movie. The casting and sets were very nice, the script dialog was so boring I needed a triple espresso to stay awake. I've heard more interesting dialog listening to my husband talk in his sleep. Do not waste your money seeing this movie in a ...

Addiction Incorporated

This documentary deserves way more than 2 stars ... it was 15 years in the making. It certainly does not preach and tell anyone they should not smoke. (eventhough we all know smoking hastens disease and death...as the warnings on the package clearly indicate.) The film is about the addiction ...
