Into the Grizzly Maze (2015)

Into the Grizzly Maze (2015)

[3] James Marsden, Thomas Jane, and Piper Perabo star in this wannabe animal attack movie that's really just an overwrought drama about estranged brothers burying the hatchet. The squabbling between the two men (all the men in the movie, actually)…
The Charge of the Light Brigade (1936)

The Charge of the Light Brigade (1936)

[7] Errol Flynn and Olivia de Havilland reteam after their initial pairing in Captain Blood. This time, they're in a love triangle that plays out during an Indian massacre of British women and children, later spurring into action the contents…
Tarzan’s Magic Fountain (1949)

Tarzan’s Magic Fountain (1949)

[5] Lex Barker takes over the loincloth from Johnny Weissmuller, who was simply getting too old and heavy to continue swinging on vines. Unfortunately, what Barker has in looks, he lacks in charisma. The story in this Lost Horizon-esque episode…

Skyfall (2012)

Skyfall (2012)

[8] It's so refreshing to watch heroes and villains who are over the age of 40. Skyfall repeatedly suggests that sometimes older is better, and I couldn't agree more. Daniel Craig's third turn as James Bond is at least as…
The Way Back (2010)

The Way Back (2010)

[6] There's no director I admire more than Peter Weir (Fearless, Mosquito Coast), even if his latest film left me a tad underwhelmed. The Way Back is about a group of men who escape a Russian labor camp during WWII…
Mutiny on the Bounty (1962)

Mutiny on the Bounty (1962)

[6] Marlon Brando plays Fletcher Christian and Trevor Howard takes on the mantle of the sadistic Captain Bligh in this remake from director Lewis Milestone (All Quiet on the Western Front). The bloated run time (three hours) doesn't help the…
The Bounty (1984)

The Bounty (1984)

[6] This Dino DeLaurentiis production of the infamous tale of mutiny welcomes more shades of gray into the characters of Captain Bligh and Fletcher Christian than the 1935 original film, though I wouldn't say it's a better film overall. Bligh…
