I saw 90 movies in 2013 (or shortly thereafter, if we’re being honest- I don’t know how anyone is expected to see all the Christmas releases in one week!). 90 is a lot of movies, or at least it is for me (I head up My Theatre and My TV, My Cinema is Rachael’s problem). […]
It’s a little difficult to laud praise upon something that is a shamelessly transparent commercial.

Films like ensemble comedy Bridesmaids, buddy cop comedy The Heat, and coming of age comedy For A Good Time, Call, have turned out to be fine investments of valuable viewing time. The To Do List, released mid-2013, is one of the latest […]
As the film opens, we enter a dimly lit room and join the middle of what is a tale about the virtues and horrors of being an immigrant minority in America.
