Jackie Burke is a piece of work. As long as you accept that the guy played by Robert DeNiro in The Comedian will always say and do something that will make you cringe, cower or cry more likely than laugh, you’ll get along with the struggling-to-find work former sitcom star just fine. When we first…
Boy sees girl and his heart goes pitter-patter. Boy hears girl and his brain goes no way! Girl sees boy and her eyes open wide. Girl listens to boy and her mind gives her a million reasons to throw up that fence. What would we do without our time-tested romantic comedy formula, Hollywood? America? World?…
Set in the Warsaw at the onset of World War II, The Zookeeper’s Wife allows us to share a few fleeting moments of joy with the title character as she immerses herself in that city space she operates with her husband for the benefit of the animals they keep and the citizens who take pleasure…

Something wasn’t sitting right in Joan’s life for some time.

Remember high school? There was kid who had to be liked and that kid who didn’t want to be liked. Sometimes they were the same kid on different days. Sometimes, maybe, that kid was even you. At the center of The Edge of Seventeen is Nadine. As written by and directed by Kelly Fremont Craig…
I wonder if anybody back in the day had the gumption to hang him with the nickname “What A.” As in, Ray “What A” Kroc. You might have known the very rich guy as the man behind the billions of burgers served up by McDonald’s. But as the movie Founder starring Michael Keaton as Ray…
Director Robert Zemeckis takes us gorgeously into the heart of Morocco at the start of Allied as Steven Knight’s script deposits Canadian war agent Max Vatan into the heat of the anti-Nazi espionage, to meet French colluder Marianne Beauséjour for a mission dangerous, deep, deadly and … yes, romantic. Think Casablanca if you wish. The…
Imagine buying a spot on a really cool spaceship that’s scheduled to land on another world 90 years down the road. Your fee earns you 90 or so years in a hibernation chamber.
