Back with some quick film reviews. There are plenty more where that came from!
Fly Me to the Moon (2024) – Exciting and full of promise during blastoff, but disappointing and anti-climactic by mission’s end. (2) – 03/14/25
Green Mile, The (1999) – One of the best movie adaptations of a Stephen King work remains electrifying. (4) – 03/14/25
Ordinary People (1980) – Depressing and suffocating, not to deny it credit for effectiveness. (2½) – 03/14/25
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969) – Newman and Redford are the only reasons to seek out this surprisingly lackluster adventure. (2½) – 03/14/25
Flow (2024) – Wondrous, touching animated film about a displaced cat and the beauty of companionship will flood you with joy. (4) – 03/14/25
Superman (1978) – Although it doesn’t leap tall buildings in a single bound, it strikes the right tone between silly and serious. (3) – 03/14/25
Inglorious Basterds (2009) – Stylized, exciting, and engrossing, this alternative history tale may be Tarantino’s masterwork. (4) – 03/14/25
Tourist, The (2010) – Take your sightseeing eyes elsewhere. (1½) – 03/14/25
Baby Driver (2017) – Buckle up for a high-octane adrenaline rush which speeds over plot holes at a dizzying rate. (2½) – 03/14/25
Town, The (2010) – First-rate character-driven heist drama is arresting from start to finish. (3½) – 03/14/25
