Beer for My Horses (2008) 0% 1.5/4 EDIT “Like Middle Age Crazy and Ode to Billie Joe, Beer for My Horses belongs in that small but not exactly elite company of movies based on hit country songs.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Aug 8, 2008 Full Review Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert (2008) 70% 2.5/4 EDIT “Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus is Bubble Yum for the eyes and ears. But given the demographic, that works.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Feb 1, 2008 Full Review 3:10 to Yuma (2007) 89% 2/4 EDIT “If the original overplayed its naiveté, the update of 3:10 to Yuma overplays its cynicism only to sell it out at the end.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Sep 7, 2007 Full Review September Dawn (2006) 17% 2.5/4 EDIT “If September Dawn is a kind of Western, it's a Western utterly devoid of heroism or the usual archetypes. But the core message transcends time: Hatred laced with religious fanaticism is a toxic blend.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Aug 23, 2007 Full Review Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007) 78% 3/4 EDIT “This is a darker, more tormented Harry Potter than we have ever seen onscreen.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Jul 10, 2007 Full Review One Night With the King (2006) 17% 2/4 EDIT “While Dupont is lovely and sweet, the script leaves her motivations largely open and she's not enough of an actress to fill in the blanks.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Oct 28, 2006 Full Review Flyboys (2006) 34% 2.5/4 EDIT “Flyboys does an excellent job of re-creating the confusion, speed and peril of fighting in the clouds with machine guns mounted on rickety planes.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Sep 22, 2006 Full Review Miracle (2004) 80% 3/4 EDIT “Miracle has the feel of a fairy tale populated by real people.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Feb 5, 2004 Full Review Open Range (2003) 79% 3/4 EDIT “Costner doesn't seek to reinvent the classic Westerns as much as simply honor them. On those modest terms, he succeeds.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Aug 15, 2003 Full Review Gods and Generals (2003) 8% 1.5/4 EDIT “So long-winded that it sometimes feels like the Civil War in real time.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Feb 20, 2003 Full Review Standing in the Shadows of Motown (2002) 91% 3/4 EDIT “As a belated nod to some neglected all-stars, Standing in the Shadows of Motown is cultural history of the best kind: informative, revealing and richly entertaining.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Dec 5, 2002 Full Review Windtalkers (2002) 33% 2/4 EDIT “Unfortunately, contrived plotting, stereotyped characters and Woo's over-the-top instincts as a director undermine the moral dilemma at the movie's heart.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Jun 14, 2002 Full Review Songcatcher (2001) 74% EDIT “Well-served by its stars.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Jun 28, 2001 Full Review A Hard Day's Night (1964) 98% EDIT “More than anything else, the movie is a snapshot of how much fun Beatlemania really was.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Dec 21, 2000 Full Review
