55 70% Sleeper (1973) - Rated 24 Apr 2024
"“Sleeper” uses the future to explore tough subjects like revolutionary efforts in the face of tyranny and comedy to make it easier to digest. However, the film uses a silent comedian style for its physical comedy and gags. However, the film lacks the timing of the silent stars, and these scenes move slowly."
55 70% 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi (2016) - Rated 23 Apr 2024
""13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi" offers intense action scenes yet falls short in character development, preventing it from being a truly outstanding film. If you like action, you will find it here."
38 23% The Re-Education of Molly Singer (2023) - Rated 23 Apr 2024
"'The Re-Education of Molly Singer' left me somewhat disappointed. While it had the potential to introduce impactful new character developments, it instead relied heavily on clichés and easy humor. This choice detracted from the depth of the story, and the film missed an opportunity to explore more original humor and genuine growth, settling instead for familiar tropes we've seen in other college and coming-of-age films."
55 70% Bambi (1942) - Rated 22 Apr 2024
""Bambi" employs music almost as a narrator in its simple yet poignant storyline. It weaves a tale of fantasy about animal relationships while confronting the harsh realities of human threats with stark honesty."
62 83% The Blues Brothers (1980) - Rated 21 Apr 2024
""The Blues Brothers" expands on characters originally from "Saturday Night Live," creating a full-length film centered around their antics. The film enlists the talents of Blues music legends to accompany the duo on their self-proclaimed "mission from God." While the action sequences are exaggerated and overdone, the soundtrack is exceptional, featuring numerous unforgettable numbers."
51 62% The Wolf Man (1941) - Rated 21 Apr 2024
""The Wolf Man" unfolds leisurely, interspersed with creepy romantic exchanges that add a touch of drama. Nevertheless, the storytelling is decent enough to make it a watchable film."
46 50% Paradise Lagoon (1957) - Rated 21 Apr 2024
""Paradise Lagoon" critiques class-based society, contrasting it with individual capability and talent. As someone unfamiliar with this rigid class mentality, I initially found the movie somewhat absurd. Nonetheless, it is well-crafted and effectively communicates its message without overtly advocating for change."
49 56% One of Our Aircraft Is Missing (1942) - Rated 19 Apr 2024
""One of Our Aircraft Is Missing" recounts a true story, yet it unfolds slowly and unexpectedly with minimal action for a war film."
75 94% The Asphalt Jungle (1950) - Rated 17 Apr 2024
""The Asphalt Jungle" presents a compelling narrative crafted through detailed characters, each brought to life with distinct motivations and histories. This depth of character development casts the seemingly perfect heist plan in a new, intriguing light. Marilyn Monroe epitomizes the allure of a sex kitten in her role. Though her screen time is limited, her presence is undeniable and captivating whenever she appears."
58 75% Caddyshack (1980) - Rated 17 Apr 2024
""Caddyshack" pokes fun at elitism through exaggerated characters with a country club golf course as the backdrop, where the caddies symbolize the everyday person. The film is renowned for its memorable one-liners that have resonated with and defined a generation."
