The Art of the Steal is a harsh reminder that it’s no longer 1983, and presumably very few girls still have posters of Matt Dillon stuck to their bedroom walls. But that doesn’t have to be a bad thing! Once you get over feeling so incredibly old, you start to...
The first time I saw The Bridges of Madison County I got swept up in the romance of it all. I loved that you could experience the affair of a lifetime without ever leaving your front porch, and for days I was moony over the idea. That was in...
If you love The Professional as much as I do, then you know that Luc Besson is your go-to guy when it comes to movies about cleaners. 3 Days to Kill gets off to an overly complicated start, but quickly comes back to earth with an essentially simple plot. After...
In fact, you don’t really need more information to enjoy this awesome sequel. We’re given a quick recap explaining that Vietnam vet Frank Vega (Danny Trejo) has become a local hero after standing up to bad guys on the bus. The video of the encounter goes viral and pretty...

As someone who unexpectedly kind of loved When Calls the Heart, I was thrown off when its sequel, When Calls the Heart: Lost and Found began with a reworking of the plot. Instead of traveling to Coal Valley in the company of a charming constable, Elizabeth Thatcher (Erin Krakow)...
Written by Moonrise Kingdom cinematographer Barry Braverman, Video Shooter is essentially a textbook for anyone wishing to deal with camerawork in film. In practice, this covers a wide range of behind-the-scenes occupations, so it makes sense that the material covered is fairly technical and industry specific. In short, this...
It’s never fair to judge a children’s movie by adult standards, so I’m going to consider Against the Wild from a kid’s point of view, or at least from the standpoint of family viewing. When the Wade siblings Zach (CJ Adams) and Hannah (Erin Pitt) set out to visit...
No one thinks of a shopaholic as a strung-out addict with a compulsive habit that has left them with a trainwreck of a life. Somehow the word brings to mind New York socialites with closets full of Manolo Blahniks and a personal shopper at Bergdorf Goodman. It seems very...
There are movies you watch and movies that happen to you. Dog Day Afternoon first happened to me late one night in junior high as I was flipping channels during Saturday Night Live. I watched the entire movie perched on the end of the bed, about two feet from...
