Get Away movie review & film summary (2024) | Roger Ebert
5 days ago · Steffen Haars's "Get Away" is a one-joke film, and it doesn't even have a good punchline. To be fair, it's better than the truly abysmal collaboration between Haars and writer/star Nick Frost earlier this year, "Krazy House."But it suffers from many of the same problems, including shallow observations about the façade of the modern family, ultra-violence that …

Parasite movie review & film summary (2019) - Roger Ebert

The greatest films of all time - Roger Ebert
Dec 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.

Ten Greatest Films of All Time - Roger Ebert
Dec 19, 2012 · If I must make a list of the Ten Greatest Films of All Time, my first vow is to make the list for myself, not for anybody else. I am sure than Eisenstein’s “The Battleship Potemkin” is a great film, but it’s not going on my list simply so I can impress people. Nor will I avoid “Casablanca” simply because it’s so popular: I love it all the same.
Avengers: Endgame movie review (2019) - Roger Ebert
Apr 24, 2019 · Immediately, "Endgame" is a more focused piece than "Infinity War" by virtue of having a tighter, smaller cast.(Thanks, Thanos.) It's a more patient, focused film, even as its plot draws in elements of a dozen other movies. Whereas "Infinity" often felt bloated, "Endgame" allows some of the more iconic characters in the history of the MCU a chance to be, well, heroic.
