It's Movie Time

Its screenplay is formulaic; its visuals are top-rate.

The fall of a wealthy family for reasons known to even the non-wealthy. One of th best of the year.

In the spirit of Spotlight, this investigative docudrama is interesting and real.

Hanks perfectly channels Rogers with Rogers'  sweet slow in full force.

Shutting down exit from Manhattan is the most thrilling part of this mediocre thriller.

A light whodunit for Thanksgiving.

It's a formulaic road trip but of enormous figurative importance.

A fine sequel to The Shining without the enduring classical vibe.

My fav car-racing flick of all time.

Detailed and sometimes boring drama about not quite sexy, but important, investigative reporting.

Bold Nazi satire somewhere between The Producers and Inglorious basterds.

More than just a bad-cop thriller.

A biography of one of America's true heroines from the Civil War. Her spirit is still fighting against inequality for blacks.

Occasionally humorous sequel with the original cast. Listen to John and Jordan above do their own critical Zombie routine.

Murphy is as good as he has ever been, and Rudy is a raucous subject, never dull.

A modern jungle story that competes with Lord of the Flies for downright evil.

A satisfying history lesson about punk and its challenging music.

A possible Oscar for actor and picture.

Unless this is a satire, it's silly stuff.
