Caught the romantic comedy / Groundhog Day riff About Time – about some weedy little British guy who can travel into his own past and fix the mistakes of his life. He uses it to steal Rachel McAdams from her … Continue reading
Saw The Fifth Estate… the Julian Assange / Wikileaks movie about the rise of the website and how they revealed all those military /state department secrets. It’s a movie that really wants to be as dynamic and smart as The … Continue reading
