Hail, Caesar! Needs More Filling
Somehow I always end up enjoying the trailers for Coen Brothers films more than the actual films themselves. Whoever does those trailers seems to find ways to make the journey seem like it’s going to be more fun than it ...
SICARIO: Good, But Needed More Style
First and foremost, check out SICARIO. Chances are good that most regular movie-goers haven’t seen it, possibly haven’t even heard of it, and it’s definitely deserving of your time. Far more deserving than a lot of what I saw last ...
PAPER TOWNS: Journeys Big And Small

Hearing that a lot of people enjoyed Amy Schumer’s TRAINWRECK made sense to me. Most people enjoy her work, even if I previously hadn’t, and it’s directed and produced by Judd Apatow. But I enjoyed it, which surprised me, because ...
The Masked Saint
Sometimes it works out really well to go to a movie without seeing a trailer for the film first, having only read what the movie is about. Other times it’s probably a good idea to at least find out if ...
JOY: Only Silver Linings
Out of all the David O. Russell movies I’ve seen, JOY is the least fun to watch. And I’ve seen I HEART HUCKABEES.
This is not to say that JOY was a bad movie, because it’s absolutely not. But in terms ...
