The Mustang (2019) 95% 4/5 EDIT “Stunning mountain vistas and first-rate performances... make The Mustang worth the ride.” – AARP Movies for Grownups Mar 15, 2019 Full Review Apollo 11 (2019) 99% 5/5 EDIT “Miller's documentary is a giant leap forward for the craft, not to mention for historical preservation.” – AARP Movies for Grownups Mar 1, 2019 Full Review Dumplin' (2018) 86% EDIT “The movie's real draw may well be the six new Dolly Parton-penned tunes featured on its soundtrack.” – AARP Movies for Grownups Dec 4, 2018 Full Review About Last Night (2014) 68% 3/5 EDIT “thanks mostly to Hart and Hall's fiery comic chemistry, it's frequently hilarious” – AARP Movies for Grownups Feb 13, 2014 Full Review The Challenger Disaster (2013) 92% EDIT “The solemn inquiry into the cause of a tragic accident is turned into a nifty, shifty whodunit. Or, more precisely, a whatdunit.” – AARP Movies for Grownups Nov 18, 2013 Full Review The Counselor (2013) 34% EDIT “As a screenwriter, the 80-year-old [McCarthy] turns out to be a great novelist.” – AARP Movies for Grownups Oct 28, 2013 Full Review Clear History (2013) 59% 4/5 EDIT “True to its improv style, the story meanders, but the jokes swirl and land more often than they miss” – AARP Movies for Grownups Aug 16, 2013 Full Review Springsteen & I (2013) 94% 3.5/5 EDIT “It's a quirky little film, at turns charming and creepy but ultimately redeeming, about people who are extremely devoted to the 63-year-old rock star.” – AARP Movies for Grownups Jul 25, 2013 Full Review Magic Trip: Ken Kesey's Search for a Kool Place (2011) 72% 3/5 EDIT “Considering the quality of the source material, what Ellwood and Gibney have come up with is kind of amazing.” – AARP Movies for Grownups Aug 18, 2011 Full Review The Music Never Stopped (2011) 67% 4/5 EDIT “Simmons has never been better than he is here, as he transforms Henry from a guy burdened with regret to one bursting with hope.” – AARP Movies for Grownups Apr 5, 2011 Full Review Toy Story 3 (2010) 98% 5/5 EDIT “Make no mistake: this Toy Story trilogy, and Toy Story 3 in particular, is a great work of art - one of the cleverest pieces of story-telling magic that Hollywood has ever conjured.” – Examiner.com Jun 18, 2010 Full Review The Karate Kid (2010) 67% 3/4 EDIT “I'm shocked. It's good. It's pretty close to being really, really good (at 132 minutes, it's about a half hour too long).” – Examiner.com Jun 11, 2010 Full Review Extract (2009) 62% 2/5 EDIT “Exists squarely on that most comfortable rung of the American corporate ladder: the mediocre middle.” – Examiner.com Sep 4, 2009 Full Review Adventureland (2009) 89% 3/5 EDIT “Adventureland stays strictly on the games side of the amusement park, happily ambling along with no real dips or climbs.” – Examiner.com Apr 3, 2009 Full Review I Love You, Man (2009) 82% 4.5/5 EDIT “It's really, really funny” – Examiner.com Mar 20, 2009 Full Review Watchmen (2009) 64% 3/5 EDIT “for its core audience and for those who have been counting down the days and hours to its release, 'Watchmen' will probably be enthralling. For the rest of us: Watch Out.” – Examiner.com Mar 5, 2009 Full Review Last Chance Harvey (2008) 71% 3/5 EDIT “Elevated considerably by fine lead performances from Dustin Hoffman and Emma Thompson.” – Examiner.com Jan 16, 2009 Full Review Bride Wars (2009) 10% 1/5 EDIT “excruciating, pointless, spectacularly unfunny, sometimes offensive, hapless stab at a chick flick” – Examiner.com Jan 9, 2009 Full Review Bolt (2008) 90% 3.5/5 EDIT “With its vibrant look, frisky attitude and sweet lesson about loyalty and friendship, Bolt is solid, fresh family-friendly entertainment.” – San Francisco Examiner Nov 21, 2008 Full Review Twilight (2008) 48% 1.5/5 EDIT “Twilight is a self-selecting movie if there ever was one. Those who want to see it, will see it and love it. Others are warned away.” – San Francisco Examiner Nov 20, 2008 Full Review Slumdog Millionaire (2008) 92% 5/5 EDIT “It's a masterpiece, and that's my final answer.” – Examiner.com Nov 18, 2008 Full Review Quantum of Solace (2008) 63% 2/5 EDIT “As an action movie, Quantum of Solace is passable ... As a Bond movie, it's a mess.” – San Francisco Examiner Nov 14, 2008 Full Review Kicking & Screaming (2005) 41% 2/4 EDIT “As the coffee-fueled Phil lurches further and further over the edge of soccer coach impropriety, you can sense Ferrell struggling to break through the lame script” – Lowell Sun May 12, 2005 Full Review Hitch (2005) 68% 3/4 EDIT “James comes crashing nervously into the movie like a fat guy who went through the wrong door and ended up on the fashion show catwalk. He's perfect.” – Lowell Sun May 6, 2005 Full Review Constantine (2005) 46% 1/4 EDIT “It just so happens that I always had a theory on how to visit hell, too: Sit in a chair and watch a Keanu Reeves movie.” – Lowell Sun May 6, 2005 Full Review
