Quickie Reviews: The Glass Castle; Wind River; The Fencer; A Taxi Driver
I’m generally a fan of (or maybe a sucker for) movies based on real people and events, so that could be why I had a pretty good week at the…
Arrival

The Town
Okay, I think it's time that we all forget about Gigli and admit that Ben Affleck is one very talented guy. Returning to his working class Boston roots with The…
The Hurt Locker
The Hurt Locker is one of those films that came and went without much fanfare, and then when all the awards nominations began to come out, it was on just…
