MOVIE REVIEW – THE ARTIST
“The Artist” is a movie that is in love with movies. Turns out I’m in love with movies, too. So this film and I are a perfect fit.
I’LL SEE FOUR OF ANYTHING

MOVIE REVIEW – ARTHUR CHRISTMAS
I don’t think Aardman has the means or desire to American-ize one of their projects, and we’re all better off for that.
MOVIE REVIEW – PUSS IN BOOTS
Is it possible that this is the funniest movie of the year? See it while it’s still in theaters.
NEW ON BLU-RAY, DVD & STREAMING – SEASON OF THE WITCH
Unpleasant in all aspects. Far too violent for children and incomprehensible to adults. Never watch it, never consider it.
