Green Book movie review & film summary (2018) - Roger Ebert
WEBNov 16, 2018 · An underlying sweetness—and the need to be decent to others—quite frequently exists beneath the gross-out gags and bodily fluids that have been the brothers’ bread and butter for decades.

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.

Whiplash movie review & film summary (2014) - Roger Ebert
WEBOctober 10, 2014. 4 min read. Whiplash. “Whiplash” is cinematic adrenalin.
