Movie Review: Killers of the Flower Moon
4.5 stars out of 5I know, you’re waiting to watch this at home on Apple TV+, a half hour here, 42 minutes there, between football games and driving the kids wherever. But if you really love movies — and I know you do — plan a day around seeing Killers of the Flower Moon in […]
Movie Review: The Irishman
4.5 stars out of 5 Marty got the band back together, and for many of us that is reason enough to celebrate. De Niro! Pesci! Keitel! Original music by Robbie Robertson, fer crissakes. That he was then able to deliver such a tremendous piece of filmmaking, on a truly grand scale, is… well, not at […]
Movie Review: Joker
3 stars out of 5 Joker is not your daddy’s superhero movie.

Marty Scorsese was a friend of mine. Todd Phillips, you’re no […]

Scorsese seems pumped up by the fascinating real-life story being told here, and delivers one of his strongest films in a long, long while. He’s […]
Movie Review: The Family
0 stars out of 5 I’ve seen worse movies. I think I have. But this film’s spectacular failure in almost every regard is especially of note, given the combined talent and international cooperation involved. Based on an Italian book. Directed and co-written by France’s Luc Besson, director of La Femme Nikita and Léon: The Professional […]
Movie Review: Hugo
3.5 stars out of 5 Are Hugo and Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close the same movie? A boy, a key, a search for a message from a dead father. And, if I can trust the reviews of Extremely Loud, both disappointments. What? A disappointment? But you gave it 3.5 stars! And you love Martin Scorsese. […]
