    Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

    ★★★★

    The chalice from the palace has the pellet with the poison. The sippy of a chippy has the brew that is true!

  • Sorcerer

    Sorcerer

    ★★★★½

    You’ll watch a truck inch across a bridge for 6 minutes and you’ll love every second of it. And then you’ll watch a second truck inch across the same bridge for 6 more minutes and you’ll love every second of that too.

    Scorpio

    ★★½

    Good for a game of “spot the Star Trek villain”, but mostly a mess. And what an obnoxious score.

    Some great stunts by the stars themselves during the construction site chase though!

  • The Mad Miss Manton

    The Mad Miss Manton

    ★★★

    This is on fire whenever all the gals are in a scene, but it really bogs down when they’re not there.

    The Aviator

    ★★½

    "Wanna watch The Aviator?"
    "Sure, I love Scorsese!"
    "No not that one, the one directed by George Miller."
    "Oh sure, I love Fury Road!"
    "No not that one, the other George Miller."
    "Who's in it?"
    "What's his face. The guy who played Superman."
    "Oh I love Henry Cavill!"
    "No not that one..."

  • Ryan's Daughter

    Ryan's Daughter

    ★★★★

    Flawed, but still a masterpiece.

    I assume God was an uncredited producer on this movie, because otherwise I can’t explain how David Lean got the weather and the sky and the ocean to do the things they did exactly when he needed them done.
