Cary Elwes Breaks Down His Best Comedic Roles


Cary Elwes costars in The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare. I used that opportunity to ask him about his funniest characters. This was very fun.

The Grierson & Leitch Podcast: Vampire Ballerinas, World War II Warriors and 'Some Like It Hot'


On this week's episode, we don't have much nice to say about Abigail or The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare. Then, in our Reboot segment, we take a look back at Billy Wilder's 1959 Oscar-winner. Check it out down below.

'The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare' Review


Henry Cavill has great facial hair in Guy Ritchie's latest. As for the rest of Ungentlemanly Warfare ... here's my Screen International review.

'Guy Ritchie's The Covenant' Review


Guy Ritchie wanted to tell a story about the Afghan interpreters the American government abandoned during the War on Terror. I wish it was another director telling that story. Here's my review of The Covenant.

Let's Rank Guy Ritchie's Movies


Now that Wrath of Man is out, we have a list over at Vulture evaulating all the director's films. Verdict: Many of them are just OK. You can check out the rankings here.

The Grierson & Leitch Podcast: Jason Statham, Billy Crystal and 'Bamboozled'


I wasn't a fan of either of the new movies we reviewed on this week's episode. You can hear us discuss Wrath of Man and Here Today, but the best part of the show is our long talk about Spike Lee's divisive satire from 2000. You can hear the whole thing down below.

Some Thoughts on 'Aladdin'


When did Will Smith become America's dad?

Who gives the best performance in Aladdin?

And why isn't Gilbert Gottfried in the new movie?

I answer those questions, and more, over at MEL.

'Aladdin' Review


I saw Aladdin before Cannes and wrote my review before the festival as well. I now remember nothing about either, so let's see what I thought over at Screen International.

'King Arthur: Legend of the Sword' Review


Do we need another King Arthur movie? Probably not, but Warner Bros. has decided to gift us with Legend of the Sword anyway.

His sensuous collision of images and sounds is hypnotic -- too bad it never adds up to much. I reviewed King Arthur for Screen International.

The Grierson & Leitch Podcast: On 'Doctor Strange, Mel Gibson and 'Snatch'

'The Man From U.N.C.L.E.' Review


Guy Ritchie is at his Guy Ritchie-ist with The Man From U.N.C.L.E., striving for pure cinematic excess without much concern for character or emotion. It almost works. I reviewed the film for Screen International.
