Face (2002) 63% 3/4 “By the end of Face, we've been drawn deep into the battle for both communal support and individual freedom that marks the progress of so many ethnic groups in America.” – Denver Post Mar 13, 2021 Full Review The Little Drummer Boy (1968) 75% “I thought "Rudolph" was the worst animation I had seen, until seeing Drummer Boy again. Aaron the misanthropic drummer, formerly with Metallica, and his animal friends skitter across the Sinai like cockroaches on Red Bull.” – Denver Post Dec 4, 2018 Full Review 3/4 “By the end of Face, we've been drawn deep into the battle for both communal support and individual freedom that marks the progress of so many ethnic groups in America.” – Denver Post Oct 19, 2018 Full Review Bang the Drum Slowly (1973) 90% “By the end, you've taken a fastball in the gut without even knowing how it got there.” – Denver Post May 31, 2018 Full Review Grease (1978) 66% “Grease holds up for new generations because it captures the enthusiasm of youth and the vibrancy of California's sunshine-and-cars culture.” – Denver Post Dec 30, 2008 Full Review The Chosen (1981) 77% “A dedicated team of faithful adapters created a wonderfully rich movie version of the book in 1981, and the emotion and intellectual depths of the story resonate through the decades.” – Denver Post Mar 28, 2008 Full Review WarGames (1983) 94% “As tense and effective now as it was 25 years ago. The worry back then was more about Soviet missiles than about credit card identity theft, but good filmmaking techniques haven't changed.” – Denver Post Mar 14, 2008 Full Review Princess Mononoke (1997) 93% “It's just right for the 9-year-old looking to while away a long afternoon in escapist storytelling.” – Denver Post Mar 7, 2008 Full Review Searching for Bobby Fischer (1993) 98% “The mystery of Fischer's talent and torment adds depth to Searching for Bobby Fischer, about a young New York chess prodigy who doesn't want his genius to ruin his life.” – Denver Post Feb 8, 2008 Full Review Robin Hood (1973) 58% “Compared with modern Disney films, which are dominated by the self-absorption and eventual self-discovery of their main characters, Robin Hood offers surprisingly stark and interesting social questions.” – Denver Post Feb 8, 2008 Full Review Rabbit-Proof Fence (2002) 88% “[Director Phillip] Noyce shows their awful, eventually uplifting journey without flinching, and the arid Australian wilderness is a co-star of the film.” – Denver Post Feb 8, 2008 Full Review Primer (2004) 72% “Mind-bending thrillers like Primer are terrific viewing with your teenagers. Maybe if you're nice, they'll explain the ending to you.” – Denver Post Feb 8, 2008 Full Review Duma (2005) 95% “It's a crime what happened to the wonderful African wilderness movie Duma in 2005. Beautifully directed by veteran Carroll Ballard, Duma fell flat in the United States because of bad timing and abysmal marketing.” – Denver Post Feb 8, 2008 Full Review Her Majesty (2001) 57% “It's a nice study of a young girl's happy obsession.” – Denver Post Feb 8, 2008 Full Review Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron (2002) 69% “Spirit is smarter than your average cartoon because it doesn't try to joke around with a host of annoying talking animals.” – Denver Post Dec 26, 2007 Full Review Field of Dreams (1989) 88% “The life-equals-baseball masterpiece still packs an unexpected kick.” – Denver Post Nov 3, 2007 Full Review The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951) 95% “The Day the Earth Stood Still may at first look like goofy, outdated science fiction, but its timeless warnings about violence, nuclear confrontation and the difficulties of policing the planet have made it an enduring cultural classic.” – Denver Post Oct 5, 2007 Full Review Groundhog Day (1993) 94% “Since arriving as a mild success in 1993, Groundhog Day has gradually achieved the status of beloved. The American Film Institute rates it No.34 on its list of all-time funniest movies, and it's a story that bears frequent repeat viewings.” – Denver Post Aug 18, 2007 Full Review The Bourne Ultimatum (2007) 92% 3/4 “The first by Doug Liman was best, but the second and third by Greengrass come close because of a strict consistency in tone and talent.” – Denver Post Aug 3, 2007 Full Review Papillon (1973) 73% “A rousing drama of endurance, opportunism and friendship under fire.” – Denver Post Aug 3, 2007 Full Review The Simpsons Movie (2007) 87% 3/4 “The Simpsons concept in feature length is just as reassuringly startling in its nonstop irreverence as the best of the weekly 온라인카지노추천 droppings.” – Denver Post Jul 27, 2007 Full Review The Breakfast Club (1985) 87% “In nine hours of threatening, bickering and, eventually, poignant (but never maudlin) self-revelation, the stereotypes dissolve and re-form.” – Denver Post Jul 27, 2007 Full Review Rescue Dawn (2007) 90% 3/4 “That heart-stopping beginning tells us Herzog is again in top form, richly depicting the true story of the only American POW known to have escaped from Laotian captivity.” – Denver Post Jul 20, 2007 Full Review Quiz Show (1994) 97% “Redford turns a dry subject into high art, matching the achievements of his other directing efforts in Ordinary People and A River Runs Through It.” – Denver Post Jul 3, 2007 Full Review Ratatouille (2007) 96% 3.5/4 “Writer and director Brad Bird keeps Ratatouille moving without resorting to the cute animal jokes or pop-culture wisecracking that ruined so many other recent animated films.” – Denver Post Jun 29, 2007 Full Review
