4 for Texas (1963) 6/10
Western comedy starring Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin. Hardly groundbreaking material but the duo are fun together plus the ladies (Anita Ekberg and Ursula Andress !!) look lovely in this.
Coco (2017) 7/10
Pixar's most gorgeously animated film yet is solid family entertainment with a heartwarming message that overcomes a predictable plot.
Missing (1982) 5/10
Jack Lemmon and Sissy Spacek team up to find a disappeared John Shea in thinly disguised 1970s Chile. Meh.
Suburbicon (2017) 3/10
George Clooney may be a terrific actor but he is a terrible director. This proves it once and for all. Slipshod social commentary are unevenly mixed with a dull-as-dishwater mystery. Matt Damon and Julianne Moore are wasted but Oscar Isaac is delightful.
Molly's Game (2017) 6/10
Jessica Chastain has never been sexier or more chatty as Olympian turned gambling hostess Molly Bloom. The story sounds too good to be true and while entertaining, the dialogue is so wordy that it becomes almost a self indulgent self-parody by writer-director Aaron Sorkin.
The Breaking Point (1950) 8/10
Tense and suspenseful film noir with excellent acting by John Garfield and Patricia Neal.
The Post (2017) 5/10
Another one of Steven Spielberg's Oscar-bait movies like Munich or Bridge of Spies; neither of which I really enjoyed. It's well made and the actors aren't slouching. But I cannot say it's entertaining.
1944 (2015) 4/10
Estonian war drama set during the latter half of World War 2. Looks authentic but it's not necessarily enthralling.
