Night at the Museum (2006)

8 / 10

WHAT I LIKED: 'Night at the Museum,' is a great, high-concept adventure movie about everything in a museum hilariously coming to life at night. There's exotic animals, cavemen, Romans, Cowboys, ex-presidents and Egyptians all in one building with... Read the full review »

A Most Violent Year (2014)

8 / 10

WHAT I LIKED: J.C. Chandor's 'A Most Violent Year,' is about an up and coming New York oil tycoon obsessed with getting his company off the ground despite financial, legal and even violent challenges from his opponents and the authorities. That ma... Read the full review »

Gangs of New York (2002)

6 / 10

WHAT I LIKED: Beyond the simple depiction of events that a documentary generally offers, what makes cinema engaging and transcendent is its development of characters, its building of atmosphere, and its ability to translate those things into real-... Read the full review »

Bringing Out the Dead (1999)

7 / 10

WHAT I LIKED: From 'Taxi Driver,' to 'After Hours,' Scorsese has made a number of films throughout his career that paint the city as a lifeless, heartless place. But the line between its living and dead has never been blurred quite so much as in h... Read the full review »

Paradise Now (2005)

8 / 10

WHAT I LIKED: Hany Abu-Assad's 'Paradise Now,' lends a masterfully humanist perspective and insight into the Palestinian struggle, and for that reason it couldn't be a more important film for everyone to watch right now. It follows two young Pale... Read the full review »

Kundun (1997)

4 / 10

WHAT I LIKED: Most of Melissa Mathison's exposition-laden script for 'Kundun,' simply serves to go through the motions of its story about the discovery and early life of the 14th - and current - Dalai Lama in early twentieth-century Tibet, and the... Read the full review »

Baywatch (2017)

3 / 10

WHAT I LIKED: Every now and then, a character will say something in a film that just so happens to capture exactly what the audience are thinking. Right at the start of 'Baywatch,' Zac Efron quite sincerely asks "are you serious right now?" These... Read the full review »

Public Enemies (2009)

7 / 10

WHAT I LIKED: 'Public Enemies,' has a script primarily concerned with the bare bones of its plot, but what makes it engaging to watch is that it's all delivered by Michael Mann - a director who has shown time and time again that he cares most of a... Read the full review »
