Review – The Doctor (1991)

★★★★★ The Doctor is a truly brilliant movie. It’s the tale of a cold and nearly inhuman doctor who cares nothing about the comfort of patients until he becomes a patient himself. During the early part of the movie you will find yourself saying “serves you right” to the…

Review – JKF

★★★★★ Yes, I know. Anyone giving JFK 5-stars is immediately branded a conspiracy theory nut or some other fringe creature. Do I believe a single shooter killed President John F. Kennedy? No. I’m not certain exactly what I believe as it tends to follow questions I both ask or hear.…

Review – Creed

★★★☆☆ I found Creed a bit of a disappointment. Admittedly it is difficult to reboot a franchise built around a single character, but, I expected a bit more. I’m guessing the studio felt a bit iffy about this movie as well since they didn’t actually kill off Rocky Balboa (Sylvester…

Review – Heist (2001)

★★★★☆ Heist is a well done movie. What it lacks in special effects it makes up for with story line and quality acting. Rather than relying on one big name to carry the story they gathered an ensemble cast and everybody delivers. Heist is something of a noir style film.…

Review – Blood Diamond (2006)

★★★★☆ Ordinarily movies intent on invoking some social change focus so much on the change they end up being sucky movies. On rare occasions we get a true gem, no pun intended. The three main actors, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Connelly and Djimon Hounsou do absolutely astounding work in Blood Diamond.…
