The Missing (2003)
Cinderella Man (2005)
Cinderella Man
may not be subtle, but it's reminiscent of the well-crafted popular entertainments of Hollywood's Golden Age, blarney and all.
The Da Vinci Code (2006)
Too measured to be lively, too skittish to be provocative, too dramatically slack to be more than a ploddingly literal book-on-film.
Frost/Nixon (2008)
Entertaining and provocative...a satisfying intellectual bout.
Angels & Demons (2009)
Try not to giggle when...Langdon is being called in for '[his] expertise, [his] erudition.' The guy from
Bachelor Party
? Just kidding, Tom, we love you—just not in this kind of pricy but conspicuously soulless crap.
Rush (2013)
Typically slick, both overstated and undernourished when it comes to the drama. All the same,
Rush
makes for a pretty good fall night at the movies: fast and furious, but not too stupid.

You won't ever find me calling
Inferno
a good movie, but I won't deny that, in dribs and drabs, it gets closer to the marks of fun and quality than I thought possible from this picturesque but dopey franchise.
Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)
Like estimations of how many parsecs it takes to make the Kessel Run, your mileage may vary when it comes to
Solo: A Star Wars Story
.
Thirteen Lives (2022)
Director Ron Howard and screenwriter William Nicholson do an excellent, bang-up job of adapting this complex story in to a feature film.
