Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980) 93% 3.5/4 “What is good about The Empire Strikes Back is even better than its more cheaply produced prequel. ” – Oregonian Apr 23, 2025 Full Review Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977) 94% 4/4 “Perhaps you haven't seen Star Wars yet. If not, you are the envy of everyone you know over the age of 30. Because the melancholy fact is, no matter how much Lucas buffs it up, when it comes to seeing Star Wars, there's no time like the first time.” – Oregonian Apr 22, 2025 Full Review Neil Young: Coastal (2025) 79% 4/5 “Non-fans may get a bit bored watching Young josh with his tour bus driver, but Young-ophiles will feel that the film, and his career, are, to quote a Crazy Horse song he sings, “A Dream That Can Last."” – AARP Movies for Grownups Apr 18, 2025 Full Review The Alto Knights (2025) 39% 4/5 “It mostly and sadly lacks the propulsive energy of Goodfellas, but it's an impressive acting exercise, and the scenes of Congressional hearings grilling the goombahs are terrific. ” – AARP Movies for Grownups Mar 21, 2025 Full Review My Dead Friend Zoe (2024) 95% “Here’s a scrappy indie flick that delivers an important message and packs an emotional punch. ” – AARP Movies for Grownups Mar 1, 2025 Full Review Nickel Boys (2024) 91% 4/5 “It’s bizarrely shot from the characters’ point of view, sometimes behind their heads. The storytelling is irritatingly elliptical, but it’s highly poetic and haunting.” – AARP Movies for Grownups Jan 10, 2025 Full Review Maria (2024) 75% 4/5 “Jolie’s voice blends with Callas’s in the singing scenes, which soar. Her performance is better than the movie.” – AARP Movies for Grownups Dec 20, 2024 Full Review September 5 (2024) 93% 5/5 “Steven Spielberg’s 2005 Munich dramatized the hunt for the terrorists who struck the 1972 Munich Olympics, but this riveting pulse-pounder puts you in the hearts and minds of the ABC Sports news crew who had to show it to the world... It's even better.” – AARP Movies for Grownups Dec 20, 2024 Full Review The Room Next Door (2024) 81% 4/5 “The dialogue is a bit stilted, the storytelling drifty and detached. But he couldn't have cast subtler, deeper actresses in his high-IQ meditation on mortality.” – AARP Movies for Grownups Dec 20, 2024 Full Review Hercules (1997) 83% 4/4 “Hercules isn't quite as good as the best Disney cartoons. But it does represent the studio up to its good old tricks, and destroys this summer's blockbuster competition as effortlessly as a cooing baby strangling a snake in each fist.” – Oregonian Dec 18, 2024 Full Review The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996) 80% 3.5/4 “That's right, Disney has made a cartoon about God and justice, about sin and sex and civil disobedience. And it's not just hollow posturing... "Hunchback" has the courage to risk hundreds of millions of dollars to break with Disney formula.” – Oregonian Dec 18, 2024 Full Review Pocahontas (1995) 58% 1.5/4 “Everything about it is too well-behaved, calculated to deflect any potential objections, artfully constructed to contain every element of previous Disney-toon triumphs except the crucial one: irreverence.” – Oregonian Dec 17, 2024 Full Review The Six Triple Eight (2024) 55% 4/5 “Director Tyler Perry, 55, doesn’t do subtle, and the story’s only big surprise is… it’s all true, and inspiring.” – AARP Movies for Grownups Dec 6, 2024 Full Review Bonhoeffer: Pastor. Spy. Assassin. (2024) 67% 4/5 “The storyline leapfrogs in time confusingly, but Komarnicki did his homework and packs in plenty of the drama of Bonhoeffer's fascinating and spiritually exemplary life.” – AARP Movies for Grownups Nov 22, 2024 Full Review Emilia Pérez (2024) 72% 5/5 “Who knew Saldaña was such a terrific singer? And who says a violent gangster film can’t also be a musical, and more over the top than any opera? ” – AARP Movies for Grownups Nov 15, 2024 Full Review Girls Town (1996) 81% 2.5/4 “A story more or less made up by the actors as they went along. This adds vivid spontaneity, but it makes the strongest actor stand out more than she should, and it makes the movie disjointed to the point of incoherence. ” – Oregonian Nov 14, 2024 Full Review Here (2024) 37% “It’s not a Gump-like blockbuster, but it’s a fascinating, absorbing and moving meditation on time and aging.” – AARP Movies for Grownups Nov 1, 2024 Full Review Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story (2024) 98% 5/5 “This is a superb work of cinematic art about a man who responded to tragedy by making himself into a hero for real.” – AARP Movies for Grownups Sep 20, 2024 Full Review Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (2024) 75% 4/5 “The sequel doesn’t quite pack the exhilarating punch of the 1988 original, and the plot is scattershot even by director Tim Burton’s standards. But he hasn’t lost his gloriously ghastly/silly visual imagination.” – AARP Movies for Grownups Sep 9, 2024 Full Review Reagan (2024) 18% 3/5 “The movie as a whole isn’t awful, and it’s interesting to see Reagan’s life and anti-communist crusade through the lens of his religious faith. ” – AARP Movies for Grownups Aug 30, 2024 Full Review It Ends With Us (2024) 54% 4/5 “The frothy romance comedy lands better than the dark parts about men’s scary tempers, but on the whole, it’s one of the year’s more satisfying films.” – AARP Movies for Grownups Aug 9, 2024 Full Review Touch (2024) 93% 4/5 “It’s romantically melodramatic, but in a quiet way that is quite touching.” – AARP Movies for Grownups Jul 19, 2024 Full Review Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot (2024) 83% 3/5 “It’s likely less fictionalized than the controversial Sound of Freedom. But it plods, and lacks that film’s propulsive plot. Still, it definitely is heartwarming.” – AARP Movies for Grownups Jul 12, 2024 Full Review June Zero (2022) 86% 3/5 “The parts don’t quite cohere, but they resonate, and it makes you think. ” – AARP Movies for Grownups Jul 12, 2024 Full Review The Dead Don't Hurt (2023) 86% 4/5 “Mortensen gives and gets unusually deep performances, and despite a cliched script and a way-too-moseying pace, it’s Mortensen’s best-directed film yet, with his richest cast” – AARP Movies for Grownups May 31, 2024 Full Review
