The Lost City of Z ** (2016, Charlie Hunnam, Sienna Miller, Tom Holland, Robert Pattinson) – Movie Review
Director James Gray’s biopic of British explorer Colonel Percival Fawcett is conscientious but terminally boring. Gray is a good director – Little Odessa (1994), The Yards (2000), We Own the Night (2007) – but this does not seem like […]

A Street Cat Named Bob **** (2016, Luke Treadaway, Bob the Cat, Ruta Gedmintas, Joanne Froggatt, Anthony Head) – Movie Review
Director Roger Spottiswoode’s 2015 feel good true story comedy drama is a loveable boy meets cat, falls for cat, lives happily ever after love story. Luke Treadaway as the boy is nearly as cute and good […]
The Girl on the Train *** (2016, Emily Blunt, Haley Bennett, Rebecca Ferguson, Justin Theroux, Luke Evans, Allison Janney, Édgar Ramírez, Laura Prepon) – Movie Review
Emily Blunt lands a stonking great star role as the depressed, alcoholic Rachel, divorced a year earlier and fired from her New York PR job, in director Tate Taylor’s murder mystery thriller, based on the novel […]
The Escape Artist *** (1982, Raul Julia, Griffin O’Neal, Desi Arnaz, Joan Hackett, Gabriel Dell) – Classic Movie Review 4070
Director Caleb Deschanel’s nicely offbeat 1982 children’s movie follow-up to the 1979 The Black Stallion stars Ryan O’Neal’s son Griffin, who makes an appealing acting début in this attractively oddball saga of a teenage amateur […]
