Looper (2012)

Another intriguing entry by writer-director Rian Johnson, who follows up the critically acclaimed Brick and The Brothers Bloomwith what is perhaps his best effort yet.  It’s a nifty idea that is actually backed up with an erudite...

The Tuxedo (2002)

I’ve concluded that watching a Jackie Chan film involves some of the same elements as watching a porn flick.  Amid all the exciting action, there’s usually a dumb plot set up as a device...
