Richard Jewell (2019)

  • Eastwood, Clint
  • 2019, Clint Eastwood, USA
  • 3 Comments

One of Clint Eastwoodโ€™s better efforts, this well-performed drama about the 1996 Atlanta bombings is efficiently told with just the right amount of sentiment.

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

J. Edgar (2011)

  • Eastwood, Clint
  • 2011, Clint Eastwood, USA
  • 1 Comment

Clint Eastwood’s weakest in a long while, but it still remains fairly engaging because of the strength of Leonardo DiCaprio’s singular performance.

Hereafter (2010)

  • Eastwood, Clint
  • 2010, Clint Eastwood, USA
  • 1 Comment

A weaker effort by Clint Eastwood that operates at a sluggish pace and tries a tad too hard to be a life-affirming and contemplative film.

Invictus (2009)

  • Eastwood, Clint
  • 2009, Clint Eastwood, USA

Nelson Mandela and the South African rugby team compete for storytelling attention in Clint Eastwood’s decent sports biopic.

Gran Torino (2008)

  • Eastwood, Clint
  • 2008, Clint Eastwood, USA
  • Leave a comment

It may not be one of Eastwood’s most complex films, but it is a decent piece on seeking a purpose in life and being open to differences.

Changeling (2008)

  • Eastwood, Clint
  • 2008, Clint Eastwood, USA
  • 3 Comments

One of Clint Eastwood’s most affecting dramas, featuring a standout performance by Angelina Jolie, in what is another high point of his post-2000s directing career.

โญโญโญโญ

Dark Waters (2019)

  • Haynes, Todd
  • 2019, Todd Haynes, USA
  • 3 Comments

This is a quiet and unassuming work about a real-life lawsuit against a chemical company accused of toxic poisoning, but Haynesโ€™ unhurried filmmaking style feels like a mismatch for its content.

Silence (2016)

  • Scorsese, Martin
  • 2016, Martin Scorsese, USA
  • 2 Comments

The film operates with an ambitious canvas, unfolding with stately elegance, but it is Scorseseโ€™s existential dissection of Christian theology that lends it its thought-provoking, even compassionate, power.

Wolf of Wall Street, The (2013)

  • Scorsese, Martin
  • 2013, Martin Scorsese, USA
  • 3 Comments

Scorsese redefines himself for the modern age with this intense, energetic and debaucherous crime-comedy that sees Leonardo DiCaprio giving possibly his greatest performance to date.

Hugo (2011)

  • Scorsese, Martin
  • 2011, Martin Scorsese, USA
  • 4 Comments

Scorsese’s brilliant love letter to the film lover, and the finest use of 3D technology since ‘Avatar’.
