Thor: The Dark World and All is Lost

Rating: Simply stated, forget the national critics. Without Redford, All Is Lost is a waste of time. Yet, Thor: The Dark World is a rollicking fun time.

Wadjda

Rating: Wadjda is the first film by a female Saudi Arabian Director. The film dances with a twinkle in its eye, and it really should be seen. In English sub-titles.

12 Years a Slave

Rating: Before praising American exceptionalism, shouldn’t we remember a history that combined liberty with slavery?

Carrie

Rating: It is safe to say that abusive teenagers should avoid dumping pig’s blood on either Sissy Spacek or Chloe Grace Moretz.

The Fifth Estate

Rating: Director Bill Condon has given us a film better suited for a political seminar than the big screen. Just what are the consequences of Americans spying on themselves?

The Counselor

Rating: Wrapped around my 5-day murder trial last week I saw Machete Kills and The Counselor. Both are fitting tributes to my client’s massive shortcomings.

Captain Phillips

Rating: Whatever your feelings are about this film, let me warn you if you are prone to sea sickness. If so, I’d save your popcorn bag after you finish it.

Parkland

Rating: Parkland is a film that forces you to remember that which you would rather forget.

Gravity

Rating: The agony you feel for our 2 astronauts reflects our daily experiences on Earth. See this film, as we all need to ponder our existence.
