Green Book movie review & film summary (2018) - Roger Ebert
WEBNov 16, 2018 · An underlying sweetness—and the need to be decent to others—quite frequently exists beneath the gross-out gags and bodily fluids that have been the brothers’ bread and butter for decades. And that’s certainly at the heart of “Green Book.”. In a racial flip of “ Driving Miss Daisy,” nearly 30 years after that film won a handful ...
The Matrix movie review & film summary (1999) - Roger Ebert
WEBMar 31, 1999 · The Matrix. “The Matrix” is a visually dazzling cyberadventure, full of kinetic excitement, but it retreats to formula just when it’s getting interesting. It’s kind of a letdown when a movie begins by redefining the nature of reality, and ends with a shoot-out. We want a leap of the imagination, not one of those obligatory climaxes with ...
Interstellar movie review & film summary (2014) | Roger Ebert
WEBNovember 3, 2014. 8 min read. Interstellar. Christopher Nolan’s “Interstellar,” about astronauts traveling to the other end of the galaxy to find a new home to replace humanity’s despoiled home-world, is frantically busy and earsplittingly loud.

Wonder Woman 1984 movie review (2020) - Roger Ebert
WEBDec 21, 2020 · Wonder Woman 1984.

A Quiet Place movie review & film summary (2018) | Roger Ebert
WEBApr 6, 2018 · John Krasinski ’s “A Quiet Place” is a nerve-shredder. It’s a movie designed to make you an active participant in a game of tension, not just a passive observer in an unfolding horror. Most of the great horror movies are so because we become actively invested in the fate of the characters and involved in the cinematic exercise playing ...

Quentin Tarantino ’s “Inglourious Basterds” is a big, bold, audacious war movie that will annoy some, startle others and demonstrate once again that he’s the real thing, a director of quixotic delights.
Enola Holmes movie review & film summary (2020) - Roger Ebert
WEBSep 23, 2020 · London through the eyes of cinematographer Giles Nuttgens (“ Colette,” “ Hell or High Water ”) is an imposing, crowded cesspool of chaos, a sharp contrast from the lush colors and warm sunshine of the countryside. Here is where “Enola Holmes” really begins to feel like two movies functioning side by side, mostly in concert with each ...

Red (Morgan Freeman, left) and Andy (Tim Robbins) are prisoners who form a friendship in "The Shawshank Redemption." “The Shawshank Redemption” is a movie about time, patience and loyalty — not sexy qualities, perhaps, but they grow on you during the subterranean progress of this story, which ...
