Every summer I look forward to the repeated showings of Jaws on TV. Some days they have a Jaws marathon, showing the original and all the 4 Jaws movies back to back and this is my day off, spending a lazy day in my pajamas and watching the movies...
In Another Year, Jim Broadbent and Ruth Sheen play a long-married middle-class London couple heading into early old age. Tom and Gerri hold jobs typical of old hippie lefties -- he's a geologist who shores up London's ancient sewage system; she's a counselor at a National Health...
Awakenings is a wonderful film for so many reasons. It is profoundly moving, intelligent and brilliantly performed, with a lot to recommend. It is exquisitely filmed, with wonderful cinematography and scenery, and the music is beautiful. The direction is rock-solid, the story is moving and compassionate and the screenplay...

John Wick: Chapter 4 is one of the most unique action movies in quite a while. It blends the coolest aspects you can possibly think of and turns it into a well shot and directed film. The common trend with cinema now is that filmmakers and...

Russell Crowe anchors and saves this story of demonic possession He presents a character of depth and feeling but also tinged with a wit that with another actor would not work. The cinematography is very effective and the soundtrack is perfect Despite its predictability, with Crowe at the center...
This movie is based on the true story of a boy, Roy "Rocky" Dennis, with a rare genetical disorder that is disfiguring and causes cranial enlargements. Played amazingly by Eric Stoltz, not only is his life not normal due to his disorder and disfigurement, but he does not have...
I am hardly the demographic for this movie or indeed for most of the Judd Apatow catalogue. However I will admit that a few of his films, while raucous and crude and with unnecessary profanity, do have heart and sweetness at their core. This film’s heart is Seth Rogan’s...
Napoleon, Ridley Scott's latest historical epic, is a visually stunning and ambitious film that delves into the life and legacy of the French emperor.

Creed III is a strong knockout punch that was better than I thought it would be. This is Michael B. Jordan's first movie as a director, which shows how talented he is in both roles. The movie mixes fighting with an interesting personal story in a way that works...
TO CATCH A KILLER is a gripping crime thriller that delivers a tense and suspenseful narrative. The film follows a determined detective as he hunts down a cunning serial killer who is terrorizing a small town. The performances are outstanding, with the lead actor delivering a powerful...
They should have ended them after Rocky 4. The fifth installment is a depressing and unexciting sequel that doesn't even have Rocky in the boxing ring. Losing all his money somehow, he movies back to the old neighborhood. The only good scene in this movie was a flashback scene...
It’s not only the storyline and the wit and intelligence of the script, but the wonderful cast that makes this movie believable and funny and moving. Dustin. Hoffman nails it. As abrasive and self absorbed as his character is, we watch him evolve and become more self aware. Oddly...
I have to say, this is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. It's sick, boring, and not funny. It goes down as one of the worst sequels as well. The original, Fletch, is a great movie. Too bad everyone sold out and made this sequel. I...
Every actor shines in this funny murder mystery. A dysfunctional family with each member hiding unpleasant truths. Actors all seem to be having a lot of fun, especially Daniel Craig acting against type and a far cry from his Bond movies. A very entertaining romp- silly but fun. ...
A very moving story beautifully acted. Eric Stoltz is perfectly cast and despite the significant makeup his warmth and intelligence shine through. Cher gives a perfect performance as his mother and her acting is understated and effective. I did not expect to be so drawn in to the characters...
I must admit, I was a bit skeptical, considering the hype and the fact that I have not played with a Barbie for many decades. But I found this to be an uplifting, appealing and heartfelt movie. The actors were totally committed to their characters. The movie was pink...
Rocky is a classic "go to" on a rainy day when you want adventure, a great story and memories to come alive. I still remember when I first saw Rocky in 1976 and have watched it periodically many times since. My grandchildren are now enjoying it with me, which...
