The greatest films of all time - Roger Ebert
WEBDec 14, 2012 · That leaves only one title to be replaced: “Dekalog,” by Kieslowski. This is an easy decision, because the magazine’s new rules insist that if you vote for, say, a pair of films (“The Godfather” and “The Godfather Two”), or a trilogy (Ray’s “Apu” trilogy or Kieslowski’s “Blue,” “White” and “Red” trilogy), each film counts as a separate title.
Zack Snyder’s Justice League movie review (2021) - Roger Ebert
WEBMar 15, 2021 · 12 min read. “Zack Snyder’s Justice League” runs four hours and two minutes. That’s 242 minutes. That’s longer than “ Avatar,” “The Avengers: Endgame,” “ The Irishman,” “ Dances with Wolves,” “ Malcolm X,” “ Lawrence of Arabia ” and any of the “Godfather” movies. If it were released to big screens, it would ...
Whiplash movie review & film summary (2014) - Roger Ebert
WEBOctober 10, 2014. 4 min read. Whiplash. “Whiplash” is cinematic adrenalin. In an era when so many films feel more refined by focus groups or marketing managers, it is a deeply personal and vibrantly alive drama. Damien Chazelle has taken a relatively staid subject like the relationship between a music student and his teacher and turned it ...
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. It uses booming music to jack up the excitement level of scenes that might not otherwise excite.
The King movie review & film summary (2019) - Roger Ebert
WEBOct 11, 2019 · Sooner or later, Timothée Chalamet was bound to be enthroned with a meaty lead role in a historical epic. Among the most exciting actors of his generation at 23 years of age, he lands on the perfect canvas to marry his stage-imbued talent, soulful gravitas and undeniable movie-star charisma in “Animal Kingdom” director David Michôd’s “The King,” a smartly modern take on Shakespeare ...
Chinatown movie review & film summary (1974) - Roger Ebert
WEBFeb 6, 2000 · Chinatown. Crime. 131 minutes ‧ R ‧ 1974. Roger Ebert. February 6, 2000. 7 min read. Jack Nicholson as private eye Jake Gittes in Roman Polanski's "Chinatown" -- an epistemological mystery about seeing, the moral responsibilities of (mis-)interpreting what you see, and the inevitable tragic consequences of flawed vision. (JE)
John Wick movie review & film summary (2014) - Roger Ebert
WEBChristy Lemire. October 24, 2014. 5 min read. Just when John Wick thought he was out, they pull him back in. It’s the tried-and-true formula of one last job/heist/assignment. A longtime bad guy leaves the life of crime in pursuit of peace and quiet, but naturally gets dragged back to his old haunts and habits to settle a final score.
Pig movie review & film summary (2021) - Roger Ebert
WEBJul 13, 2021 · Even though it was shot in 2019, the sensibility of “Pig” is that of a mid-1970s picaresque character study about smart, sad guys living on the fringes—the kind of film that would have featured lens flares and zooms and slow-motion montages of people frolicking, and perhaps a harmonica-centric score by Henry Mancini.
West Side Story movie review & film summary (2021) - Roger Ebert
WEBDec 10, 2021 · 156 minutes ‧ PG-13 ‧ 2021. Steven Spielberg ’s eloquent and graceful “West Side Story” opens with the familiar image of the Jets prowling across New York City. They toss paint cans to one another, gathering in larger numbers as they slink and slide through the streets. Occasionally, their strides break into a dance move—a spin or a ...
