George Clooney
Movie Review: Suburbicon
4 stars out of 5 With the Brothers Coen seemingly preoccupied with their upcoming Netflix series The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, we may have to wait a while for a true Coen Bros. cinematic offering. Still, their last writing-only work, Bridge of Spies, was a more than worthwhile stopgap, and there was no reason to […]
Movie Review: Hail, Caesar!
4 stars out of 5 The holidays can be rough, and winter can really be a drag, but I didn’t care: There was a new Coen Bros. movie on the way, with my man Clooney in it, and the trailer looked like a friggin’ hoot. Now it’s February, the days are getting just a little […]

Movie Review: The Descendants
4 stars out of 5 I am going to see a George Clooney movie every day. (OK, the streak MAY end tomorrow.) He’s reliably excellent. Generally, he plays some version of himself, which is fine with most of us: He’s a classic “women want him, men want to be him… and fine, we admit it, […]
Movie Review: The Ides of March
3.5 stars out of 5 The thing about politics: It’s too political. And this movie—though very well-made, smartly written, and sharply performed—unfortunately doesn’t have much more to say than that. Clooney has already proved himself more than competent behind the camera. Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, Good Night and Good Luck, and Leatherheads: All good, […]
