Grade: A+ Score: 4.4 of 5 Laughs: (lol)(lol)(lol)(lol) of 5 The funniest of all Mel Brooks' comedies (imo), it's a laugh-a-minute...still, in 2025. There are so many film homages to Hitchcock, and this is one of the best.

Grade: A+ Score: 4.3 of 5 Laughs: 4 (lols) of 5 Really, "Horrible Bosses" works - and is so gutwrenchingly funny - because every working person has had or has a "horrible boss". I don't, now... but have had bad bosses. Nothing like the ones in this film, though. Which is why it is that much funnier. They ramped up the "horrible". Jennifer Aniston is notable for playing against type as a bad girl dentist's office sexual harasser, worth the price of admission, alone. Bateman, Sudeikas & Day are a comedy trio worthy of comparison to the Marx Bros or the Three Stooges (and probably a combination of both). Jamie Foxx has his own great turn as a nefarious character whose name you won't soon forget. And there's a "Gregory" character who does just what I would.

Grade: A+ Score: 4.2 I think this great contemporary American Urban Drama is one of what I call, Spike Lee's "Curve Ball" films: his movies that aren't explicitly about social injustices (there's some of that in this film). His main "pitch" is (or, was) his go-to "Fastball" (and, as a baseball fan, himself, I think he might agree). "Inside Man" is a 'Change-Up", though, and gripping from the opening scene. Clive Owen, Denzel Washington, Jodie Foster & Christopher Plummer make for some well-drawn characters, and this is a heckuva "New York Movie" (a Spike Lee, "New York Movie"). Think of the best Crime Dramas throughout TV history, and the justice they deserve in having a film this good made out of them. Btw, Spike Lee talks about this film all the way thru in the "Bonus Features", and that's one of the best things about DVDs - that you don't get from streaming services (and that novels don't give you).

Still brilliantly scary Sci-Fi after almost 50 years. A remake that goes way beyond what the original did or could've done. The ending will haunt your dreams. Grade: A Score: 4.0 of 5

Grade: B++ Score: 3.75 of 5 I think this is an excellent, subtle psychological thriller (not at all what I expected). One of those pleasant surprises life sometimes puts in your path. A typically thought-provoking gem from Director, Steven Soderbergh that is not (I repeat, not) an "Action Movie".

Though I do wonder what this film would be like if it were made today, what can I say about this spellbinding montage of sight and sound that hasn't already been said? Nothing. Grade: A. Score: 4.7 of 5.

My thinking is that the film is average. None of the intensity or humor of the TV series. Funny, but I'd just seen Chris O'Dowd in the "I.T. Crowd" comedy series when - by chance - I found this series with all three seasons on TubiTV. I saw the first two seasons on DVD checked out from my local library about two years. Season 3 ends kind of abruptly (and not all as I would've expected), and it doesn't look like there'll be a 4th season. That abrupt end is my only problem with this series. Otherwise, I wholeheartedly recommend the series for those who like engrossing TV drama. Going back to my English Major education: I'd give "Get Shorty" an A- for content ((feels incomplete). Or, if you prefer math: 4.25 out of 5 stars.

Love this movie...for some inexplicable reason(s).

I actually think this film is better than a "3"...but not quite a "3.5". Let's call it, "3.25". It's labeled a "Comedy", has some drama; a little bit "RomCom", and a little bit melodrama. See what I mean.

I think that what I like most about this film is that it makes you wanna believe there's some guy out there - an anti-hero type - who just does what he does (large or small) for the right reason. Tom Cruise is sensational as "Jack Reacher", and Rosamund Pike - what a woman! Werner Herzog does a great job, with a slimy role. I'm usually not an Action Movie fan, but I am a fan of smarts.
