|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Maggie | What She Said | Anne Brodie | Maggie is an event, a quiet, artistic and deeply felt performance that captures us when we are in a place we don't understand. Arnold pulls it off with heart and soul. | 4/5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | false | 6 | 9 | 2 | 2,515 |
Magic in the Moonlight | What She Said | Anne Brodie | Sophie has the balls to challenge society and the brains to recognise authenticity in others and even if she's doing something that's not quite to the letter of the law, her winning personality somehow makes it okay. | 3.5/5 | 5 | 3.5 | 5 | false | 5 | 9 | 2 | 2,515 |
Magic Mike XXL | What She Said | Anne Brodie | Certainly there are a zillion sarcastic cracks to be made about male strippers on one last run and the women who pay them. The film will polarise audiences but seriously there are worse things in life than a movie about stripping. | 2.5/5 | 5 | 2.5 | 5 | false | 3 | 9 | 2 | 2,515 |
Maleficent | What She Said | Anne Brodie | This is a radical retelling of the old fairy tale. Traditionalists will be shocked by this version but there is all new humanity in it. | 3.5/5 | 5 | 3.5 | 5 | false | 5 | 9 | 2 | 2,515 |
Minions | What She Said | Anne Brodie | Pacing is problematic; there may be too much Minionism and too little relief. The comic set pieces aren't threaded together at points, but there are many smiles to be had. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 4 | 9 | 2 | 2,515 |
Miss Julie | What She Said | Anne Brodie | Strindberg's searing insight into human nature is at the root of the film's power. Familiar and recognisable behaviours and illuminating truths, often painful, open our eyes to our frailty and greed. | 4/5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | false | 6 | 9 | 2 | 2,515 |
Selma | What She Said | Anne Brodie | King's story is tragic, that's no spoiler. The film ends with a heavy heart, mixed with hope. Selma is an important film and it is profoundly moving. | 3.5/5 | 5 | 3.5 | 5 | false | 5 | 9 | 2 | 2,515 |
Slow West | What She Said | Anne Brodie | Slow West harks back to its cowboy roots and its noir inspiration for its strong moral core. Every evil act committed is paid for in a breathtaking final act. | 4/5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | false | 6 | 9 | 2 | 2,515 |
Spectre | What She Said | Anne Brodie | Regarding Bond's and apparently Craig's sense of ennui, and stated disdain for the work, it may be time to bring in fresh blood and passion and say goodbye to our gritty anti-hero/hero. Let the casting games begin. | 3.5/5 | 5 | 3.5 | 5 | false | 5 | 9 | 2 | 2,515 |
Spy | What She Said | Anne Brodie | It's a good time with cross generational appeal. If you can take the cute swears. | 3.5/5 | 5 | 3.5 | 5 | false | 5 | 9 | 2 | 2,515 |
Still Alice | What She Said | Anne Brodie | Still Alice is hard to watch especially is you've dealt with a similar real life situation; you know there is no good outcome. But as population grows, so does the number of sufferers. It's time a brave film like this shed light on a dark corner. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 4 | 9 | 2 | 2,515 |
Tammy | What She Said | Anne Brodie | Tammy is authentically entertaining and McCarthy and Sarandon are total queens and you'll fall in love. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 4 | 9 | 2 | 2,515 |
The Age of Adaline | What She Said | Anne Brodie | It has the powerful tang of nostalgia, memory for things we knew or didn't know. It reminds us that time is precious and it's never too late to make a good life. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 4 | 9 | 2 | 2,515 |
The End Of The Tour | What She Said | Anne Brodie | It takes a special kind of moviegoer to watch a film about two guys talking. While there is some brief relief from a marathon five day conversation including a trip to the Mall of America, this is for word lovers. | 4.5/5 | 5 | 4.5 | 5 | false | 7 | 9 | 2 | 2,515 |
The Hateful Eight | What She Said | Anne Brodie | It is so "breathtaking" that you'll be looking at the exit counting down to your chance to run and shower and perhaps lose the expensive lunch you just had. | 2.5/5 | 5 | 2.5 | 5 | false | 3 | 9 | 2 | 2,515 |
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 | What She Said | Anne Brodie | All action, not causation or human psychology; it's sterile, jackboot that requires no acting just the ability to only shout or emote obviously. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 4 | 9 | 2 | 2,515 |
The Man From U.N.C.L.E. | What She Said | Anne Brodie | Its fifty years ago and unfamiliar and worlds away from the one we inhabit now. But it's just as intense. Ritchie dials up the tension in each successive sequence the way he did it so well in his earlier pictures and it is excruciating at certain points. | 4.5/5 | 5 | 4.5 | 5 | false | 7 | 9 | 2 | 2,515 |
The One I Love | What She Said | Anne Brodie | Two hours of watching two faces in tight close-ups, doubled, no matter how pretty everything appears to be is a bit wearing. But oh, how it provokes the mind. | 3.5/5 | 5 | 3.5 | 5 | false | 5 | 9 | 2 | 2,515 |
The Revenant | What She Said | Anne Brodie | Iñárritu's powerfully visceral masterpiece seems impossibly real. Take a wrap; it feels like drowning in heavy ice and breathing glass shards. | 5/5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | false | 8 | 9 | 2 | 2,515 |
The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel | What She Said | Anne Brodie | All the great beats are here, and the addition of a wedding seems generic but it is FUN. In closing, if you don't like this film, you've given in to winter's dark embrace. Buck up! | 3.5/5 | 5 | 3.5 | 5 | false | 5 | 9 | 2 | 2,515 |
The Trip To Italy | What She Said | Anne Brodie | If you like cool, dry, witty sophisticated banter, with the unmistakable English flair, the film's for you. There's also plenty of lowbrow fun. | 4/5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | false | 6 | 9 | 2 | 2,515 |
The Witch | What She Said | Anne Brodie | Mark Korven's simple, sometimes dissonant score of heightened natural sounds and fiddle seems authentic, and raises the hair on the back of your neck, it's beautiful and fearsome by turns. | 5/5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | false | 8 | 9 | 2 | 2,515 |
Trainwreck | What She Said | Anne Brodie | Trainwreck is in the sweet romcom spot - totally accessible, easy, not too deep, clever, naughty and funny with just enough, but not too much drama to be legit. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 4 | 9 | 2 | 2,515 |
Transformers: Age of Extinction | What She Said | Anne Brodie | T4 will no doubt be one of the biggest films of the summer and it's not worth five cents in creativity, authenticity, humanity or depth. At least these films are expensive so they don't come out too often. | 2/5 | 5 | 2 | 5 | false | 2 | 9 | 2 | 2,515 |
Trumbo | What She Said | Anne Brodie | Cranston plays Trumbo as a magnificent thorn in the side of political right. His magnanimous personality, keen powers of persuasion and gift of the gab kept him safe for a while. | 3.5/5 | 5 | 3.5 | 5 | false | 5 | 9 | 2 | 2,515 |
The Last House on the Left | What Would Toto Watch? | Christian Toto | The Last House on the Left is alternately gross, brutal and difficult to watch. It's also arresting entertainment as its revenge tale kicks into overdrive. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 20 | 41 | 10 | 2,516 |
Get Low | What Would Toto Watch? | Christian Toto | Duvall is Duvall, which is all the reason you need to check out the sly and charming Get Low | 3.4/5 | 5 | 3.4 | 5 | false | 24 | 41 | 10 | 2,516 |
Red Riding Hood | What Would Toto Watch? | Christian Toto | What do you get when you cross 'Twilight' with a cherished children's story? Don't ask. | 1.5/5 | 5 | 1.5 | 5 | false | 5 | 41 | 10 | 2,516 |
Rodents of Unusual Size | What the Flick?! | Christy Lemire | It's a fascinating look -- and it's only 70 minutes long. | 3/4 | 4 | 3 | 4 | false | 2 | 4 | 1 | 2,517 |
Amulet | What to Watch | Matt Donato | Amulet is impressive in bursts, but too backloaded and sloppy with its narrative to allow style a pass over lacking substance. | 2/5 | 5 | 2 | 5 | true | 4 | 11 | 2 | 2,518 |
Antebellum | What to Watch | Matt Donato | Bush and Renz's "time-loop" promotes storytelling choices that ignore more inspiring examples of genre representation. Instead of trying to be part of the conversation, it would rather focus on the brutality of the past. | 2/5 | 5 | 2 | 5 | true | 4 | 11 | 2 | 2,518 |
Bill & Ted Face the Music | What to Watch | Todd Gilchrist | Despite some thoughtful updates to the series' airheaded comedy, Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves deliver a third chapter that sadly falls short of excellent. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | true | 6 | 11 | 2 | 2,518 |
Centigrade | What to Watch | Matt Donato | 'Centigrade' struggles to convey the sensations of claustrophobia and stir-craziness that are so obviously apparent in the on-screen events. | 2.5/5 | 5 | 2.5 | 5 | true | 5 | 11 | 2 | 2,518 |
Deep Blue Sea 3 | What to Watch | Matt Donato | Deep Blue Sea 3 is stupidly entertaining, ferociously minded, and accepts its place as a B-movie for the better. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | true | 6 | 11 | 2 | 2,518 |
No Escape (Follow Me) | What to Watch | Matt Donato | 'No Escape' splices together Insta-famous commentaries and escape room peril to generate content that's maybe not the most ingenious hybrid take, but still rife with tension and terrors. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | true | 6 | 11 | 2 | 2,518 |
Rent-A-Pal | What to Watch | Matt Donato | 'Rent-A-Pal' projects the anguish of being stuck living a life you never chose, but squanders more emotive bursts of horror when the film's finale follows a predictable pattern. | 2.5/5 | 5 | 2.5 | 5 | true | 5 | 11 | 2 | 2,518 |
Rogue | What to Watch | Matt Donato | 'Rogue' smuggles a positive message about the humane treatment of wildlife under the cover of explosions, vicious attacks, and a level of excitement that delivers what's expected. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | true | 6 | 11 | 2 | 2,518 |
She Dies Tomorrow | What to Watch | Leigh Monson | 'She Dies Tomorrow' is ambitious filmmaking that doesn't quite say enough about what's on its mind. | 2.5/5 | 5 | 2.5 | 5 | true | 5 | 11 | 2 | 2,518 |
Spree | What to Watch | Matt Donato | A whimpering condemnation of our online obsessions that weaponizes an imbalanced tone that *never* worked for me. | 2/5 | 5 | 2 | 5 | true | 4 | 11 | 2 | 2,518 |
Sputnik | What to Watch | Matt Donato | Sputnik blends extraterrestrial intrigue with science fiction experimentation in a way that delivers cosmic body horror with a period-savvy Cold War twist. | 4/5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | true | 8 | 11 | 2 | 2,518 |
Summerland | What to Watch | Leigh Monson | On the whole, 'Summerland' is an inoffensive and nominally fun way to spend an hour and change. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | true | 6 | 11 | 2 | 2,518 |
The Owners | What to Watch | Leigh Monson | 'The Owners' isn't trying to reinvent the wheel on home invasion thrillers, but there are hidden depths to its simple set-up that make this an excellent addition to the canon. | 4/5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | true | 8 | 11 | 2 | 2,518 |
The Pale Door | What to Watch | Leigh Monson | There's enough good here that 'The Pale Door' doesn't feel like a waste of time, but it isn't a strong enough derivation from its inspiration where you'd ever want to watch this instead. | 2/5 | 5 | 2 | 5 | true | 4 | 11 | 2 | 2,518 |
The Rental | What to Watch | Matt Donato | A capable feature debut from Dave Franco that gets horror aspects right but struggles to develop the characters. | 2.5/5 | 5 | 2.5 | 5 | true | 5 | 11 | 2 | 2,518 |
The Silencing | What to Watch | Leigh Monson | It feels a lot like 'The Silencing' was written with a climax in mind that the rest of the story was just not up to the task of properly building toward. | 2/5 | 5 | 2 | 5 | true | 4 | 11 | 2 | 2,518 |
Verotika | What to Watch | Matt Donato | Danzig's 'Verotika' is a horror anthology abomination with less value than a 3AM Skinemax headliner. | 0.5/5 | 5 | 0.5 | 5 | true | 1 | 11 | 2 | 2,518 |
A Simple Favor | What's On TV | Jason Best | Deliciously set off by a soundtrack of chichi French pop songs, the film drips with deadpan hilarity. | 4/5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | false | 3 | 5 | 1 | 2,519 |
Lizzie | What's On TV | Jason Best | Given that most viewers will probably know the gruesome events to which the action is building, it's remarkable how much tension writer Bryce Kass and director Craig William Macneill manage to wring from the tale. | 4/5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | false | 3 | 5 | 1 | 2,519 |
Be Natural: The Untold Story of Alice Guy-Blaché | Whiskey and Popcorn | Kaely Monahan | "Be Natural" uncovers one of the movie greats and gives her the justice and spotlight she deserves. | B | long_letter | null | null | false | 13 | 18 | 1 | 2,520 |
Captain Marvel | Whiskey and Popcorn | Kaely Monahan | Eleven years after Robert Downey Jr. first strutted on the silver screen as Iron Man, Marvel has finally given us a female superhero. Brie Larson shines as Captain Marvel. | B+ | long_letter | null | null | false | 14 | 18 | 1 | 2,520 |
Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw | Whiskey and Popcorn | Kaely Monahan | Hobbs & Shaw" is the boost this franchise needs. I need more Rock and Statham "frienemy" movies, please. | B | long_letter | null | null | false | 13 | 18 | 1 | 2,520 |
Skin | Whiskey and Popcorn | Kaely Monahan | As the USA grapples with racism and the normalization of white supremacy, "Skin" digs deep into the neo-Nazi culture and how difficult it is to leave those communities. Gripping, stomach-turning, and compelling, "Skin" will stick with you. | A | long_letter | null | null | false | 16 | 18 | 1 | 2,520 |
Terminator: Dark Fate | Whiskey and Popcorn | Kaely Monahan | "Terminator: Dark Fate" is full of the action we crave but the reboot leaves us fans in a bitter place. | C | long_letter | null | null | false | 10 | 18 | 1 | 2,520 |
The Farewell | Whiskey and Popcorn | Kaely Monahan | Authentically heart-warming. 'The Farewell' is one of the most original films of the summer. Awkwafina proves she has the acting chops to take on complex roles. We can't praise this film enough. | A | long_letter | null | null | false | 16 | 18 | 1 | 2,520 |
The Last Black Man in San Francisco | Whiskey and Popcorn | Kaely Monahan | Sharp, hilarious, and striking -- Director Joe Talbot captures the San Francisco of today in a timeless way. | A | long_letter | null | null | false | 16 | 18 | 1 | 2,520 |
The Lion King | Whiskey and Popcorn | Kaely Monahan | 'The Lion King' is by far Disney's best remake. The photo-real animals will leave you in awe. | B | long_letter | null | null | false | 13 | 18 | 1 | 2,520 |
The Mustang | Whiskey and Popcorn | Kaely Monahan | The originality of "The Mustang" resonates deeply amid a spate of biopic films.

The Peanut Butter Falcon | Whiskey and Popcorn | Kaely Monahan | Hands down the best film of 2019 so far. If you see any movie this summer, make it "The Peanut Butter Falcon." | A | long_letter | null | null | false | 16 | 18 | 1 | 2,520 |
The Secret Life of Pets 2 | Whiskey and Popcorn | Kaely Monahan | "The Secret Life of Pets 2" is one of the better kids movies so far this year. Full of sweet laughs, silly but acceptable jokes, and a stellar cast, this movie is fun for kids and parents alike. | B | long_letter | null | null | false | 13 | 18 | 1 | 2,520 |
Toy Story 4 | Whiskey and Popcorn | Kaely Monahan | Toy Story 4, while entertaining fails to make a case as to why we needed another movie in this franchise. One of us loved and the other...not so much. | C | long_letter | null | null | false | 10 | 18 | 1 | 2,520 |
Vita & Virginia | Whiskey and Popcorn | Kaely Monahan | Beautifully spellbinding! Gemma Arterton and Elizabeth Debicki are explosive together. | A | long_letter | null | null | false | 16 | 18 | 1 | 2,520 |
Yesterday | Whiskey and Popcorn | Kaely Monahan | "Yesterday" skips over the cliche and campy to be one of the best films of the summer. Sweet, charming, and hilarious, this secret rom-com, is one of the better music movies to date. | A | long_letter | null | null | false | 16 | 18 | 1 | 2,520 |
Manderlay | White Plains Times | Bryant Frazer | Whereas Dogville was a slippery, challenging and ultimately brutal masterpiece, Manderlay is looser, messier, less serious and ultimately far less effective. | B | short_letter | null | null | false | 4 | 6 | 1 | 2,521 |
Swing Time | Why So Blu | Aaron Neuwirth | Swing Time has everything it needs to have audiences pick themselves up and enjoy a fine romance. | 10/10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | false | 9 | 10 | 1 | 2,522 |
Transit | Why So Blu | Aaron Neuwirth | Combining elements of Hitchcock, film noir, romance, and Kafkaesque struggles, Transit is a compelling drama with a setup that alternates time enough to make it, oddly, one of 2019's best science fiction films. | 9/10 | 10 | 9 | 10 | false | 8 | 10 | 1 | 2,522 |
One Day | Willamette Week | Kimberly Gadette | The movie lumbers from one insufferable moment after another. But at least the title's accurate: it seems like you're sitting there for 24 hours. | 2.5/10 | 10 | 2.5 | 10 | false | 3 | 19 | 2 | 2,523 |
A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas | Willamette Week | Kimberly Gadette | 4 out of 5 reindeers prefer this sequel to #2. As rude and wild as expected, frankly it's surprising that the filmmakers didn't go in for 3D chests and nuts roasting on an open fire. | 6/10 | 10 | 6 | 10 | false | 10 | 19 | 2 | 2,523 |
The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel | Winnipeg Free Press | Randall King | As in the first film, when the going gets a little too soapy or overly maudlin, the cast of mostly old pros elevate the material with the sheer force of their collective skill. | 3.5/4 | 4 | 3.5 | 4 | false | 5 | 7 | 2 | 2,524 |
Please Give | Wisconsin State Journal | Rob Thomas | The film lives at that uneasy intersection between affluence and compassion, where the well-meaning well-to-do try to figure out how much of their wealth they need to give away to make a difference. | 3.5/4 | 4 | 3.5 | 4 | false | 5 | 7 | 2 | 2,525 |
Winter's Bone | Wisconsin State Journal | Rob Thomas | Granik deftly creates a film that's both a suspenseful crime drama and a pitiless portrait of a part of America that's usually ignored. | 4/4 | 4 | 4 | 4 | false | 6 | 7 | 2 | 2,525 |
The Oath | Wisconsin State Journal | Rob Thomas | In the end, what I took away from "The Oath" was an affirmation of the importance of the rule of law, that we should judge people by their crimes. The human heart is too complex and contradictory to be easily categorized as "good" or "evil." | 3/4 | 4 | 3 | 4 | false | 4 | 7 | 2 | 2,525 |
Life During Wartime | Wisconsin State Journal | Rob Thomas | Todd Solondz's "Life During Wartime" is full of characters who make the same mistakes over and over again, unable to change their bad habits. He must know just how they feel. | 2/4 | 4 | 2 | 4 | false | 2 | 7 | 2 | 2,525 |
Agora | Wisconsin State Journal | Rob Thomas | Just preaching to the choir - even a secular choir - isn't enough. | 2/4 | 4 | 2 | 4 | false | 2 | 7 | 2 | 2,525 |
Anton Chekhov's The Duel | Wisconsin State Journal | Rob Thomas | It serves the original source material well, and gives the audience much to ponder after the shots have been fired. | 3/4 | 4 | 3 | 4 | false | 4 | 7 | 2 | 2,525 |
Catfish | Wisconsin State Journal | Rob Thomas | It's satisfying to see the arrogant filmmakers somewhat humbled by what they find on their journey. That's a feeling much of the audience will share in this unusual and haunting film. | 3.5/4 | 4 | 3.5 | 4 | false | 5 | 7 | 2 | 2,525 |
The City of Your Final Destination | Wisconsin State Journal | Rob Thomas | "Destination" is another effort by director James Ivory in his long-running campaign to give arthouse audiences a comfortable place to take a nap. | 1.5/4 | 4 | 1.5 | 4 | false | 1 | 7 | 2 | 2,525 |
Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky | Wisconsin State Journal | Rob Thomas | In the end, "Coco & Igor" doesn't really go anywhere, and it never quite equals the chaotic energy of that opening theater scene. But it's gorgeous to look at, as Kounen melds the heady visuals with Stravinsky's sweeping score. | 3/4 | 4 | 3 | 4 | false | 4 | 7 | 2 | 2,525 |
Countdown to Zero | Wisconsin State Journal | Rob Thomas | Walker ends up trying to end "Countdown to Zero" on an upbeat note. It rings a little hollow; she's scared us so thoroughly throughout the rest of the film that it's a little hard to feel optimistic. | 3/4 | 4 | 3 | 4 | false | 4 | 7 | 2 | 2,525 |
Cyrus | Wisconsin State Journal | Rob Thomas | It's hard to imagine how no-budget filmmakers Jay and Mark Duplass could have made a better transition to the big leagues - or at least the Triple A league of indie filmmaking at Fox Searchlight - than with "Cyrus." | 3.5/4 | 4 | 3.5 | 4 | false | 5 | 7 | 2 | 2,525 |
Dinner for Schmucks | Wisconsin State Journal | Rob Thomas | If the dinner is mean-spirited, the movie really isn't. The tone is more sweet than savage, and the "schmucks" are actually treated with some respect. | 3/4 | 4 | 3 | 4 | false | 4 | 7 | 2 | 2,525 |
The Disappearance of Alice Creed | Wisconsin State Journal | Rob Thomas | Much of the fun of watching this kidnapping thriller is trying to guess what will happen next and being constantly proved wrong. | 3/4 | 4 | 3 | 4 | false | 4 | 7 | 2 | 2,525 |
The Extra Man | Wisconsin State Journal | Rob Thomas | "Extra Man" is a loving ode to the eccentrics of New York, and a wish that even in today's Disneyfied Manhattan, the city will always make room for the weirdos, too. | 3.5/4 | 4 | 3.5 | 4 | false | 5 | 7 | 2 | 2,525 |
Get Low | Wisconsin State Journal | Rob Thomas | The Depression-era fable has about a novella's worth of story stretched to fill a feature-length film. But since some of that padding is wonderful bits of character acting from two actors at the peak of their game, you don't mind one bit. | 3.5/4 | 4 | 3.5 | 4 | false | 5 | 7 | 2 | 2,525 |
Here and There | Wisconsin State Journal | Rob Thomas | In a way, the fact that the grey, austere Serbian city is such an odd choice for the middle-age romance "Here and There" is one of the film's charms. | 3/4 | 4 | 3 | 4 | false | 4 | 7 | 2 | 2,525 |
I Am Love | Wisconsin State Journal | Rob Thomas | You get the feeling Guadagnino wanted to send the same thrill up the spine of jaded modern moviegoers that audiences got at the movies a half-century ago, and in this "I Am Love" succeeds wildly. | 3.5/4 | 4 | 3.5 | 4 | false | 5 | 7 | 2 | 2,525 |
I'm Still Here | Wisconsin State Journal | Rob Thomas | Maybe "I'm Still Here" tells the truth, in the sense that it shows us Phoenix's unhappy personal view of the life behind the velvet rope that he's rejected. | 3/4 | 4 | 3 | 4 | false | 4 | 7 | 2 | 2,525 |
Joan Rivers: A Piece Of Work | Wisconsin State Journal | Rob Thomas | "A Piece of Work" displays a comedian who is much savvier, much more vulnerable and frankly much funnier than we usually see on the small screen. | 3.5/4 | 4 | 3.5 | 4 | false | 5 | 7 | 2 | 2,525 |
Pranzo di Ferragosto (Mid-August Lunch) | Wisconsin State Journal | Rob Thomas | What a pleasure it is to see a film that treats the elderly as more just the sum of their age spots. | 3/4 | 4 | 3 | 4 | false | 4 | 7 | 2 | 2,525 |
Mother and Child | Wisconsin State Journal | Rob Thomas | In a way, I was almost hoping that the three storylines didn't tie together at the end. Each of them stands so firmly on its own. | 3/4 | 4 | 3 | 4 | false | 4 | 7 | 2 | 2,525 |
Ondine | Wisconsin State Journal | Rob Thomas | He's an Irishman, she's a seal. It'll never work. | 3/4 | 4 | 3 | 4 | false | 4 | 7 | 2 | 2,525 |
Rashômon | Wisconsin State Journal | Rob Thomas | "Rashomon" may be a prosecutor's nightmare, but it's a film lover's dream. | 4/4 | 4 | 4 | 4 | false | 6 | 7 | 2 | 2,525 |
Restrepo | Wisconsin State Journal | Rob Thomas | The footage Junger and Hetherington got is an incredible, boots-on-the-ground, soldier's-eye view of combat. | 4/4 | 4 | 4 | 4 | false | 6 | 7 | 2 | 2,525 |
Scott Pilgrim vs. the World | Wisconsin State Journal | Rob Thomas | I haven't read a comic book in five years, and my gaming abilities center on the iPhone game "Angry Birds," but I was smitten. | 3.5/4 | 4 | 3.5 | 4 | false | 5 | 7 | 2 | 2,525 |
Secretariat | Wisconsin State Journal | Rob Thomas | "Its like trying to make a football movie set in the 1970s about this plucky little underdog team called the Dallas Cowboys." | 2/4 | 4 | 2 | 4 | false | 2 | 7 | 2 | 2,525 |
