Running on Empty (1988)

Starring Judd Hirsch, Christine Lahti, River Phoenix, and Martha Plimpton.
Directed by Sidney Lumet.

Long ago, I first saw portions of this movie.  The lunch scene comes to mind.  Then later as an adult I saw it all the way through.  Last night it was on TCM, so I sat down to watch.  Let's get into it.

Zodiac (2007)

21 November 2014

Friends, I reviewed "Zodiac" after the first time I saw it four years ago. Even then, I was itching to see the film again. Jacob and I have had "Zodiac" on Blu-ray for awhile and has given us a reason to sit down and it watch it together. So, after four years of expectations and with a better appreciation for films, I give you my 2014 review of "Zodiac".

Inception (2010)

10 February 2016

Another A-movie I've finally gotten around to watching. Unlike The Social Network, Inception was underwhelming.

The Mosquito Coast (1986)

19 January 2016

Finally, FINALLY, I watched "The Mosquito Coast", which as been on my radar since forever. Let's get into it.

Learning to Drive (2014)

Starring Sir Ben Kingsley and Patricia Clarkson
Directed by Isabel Croixet

Wendy (Clarkson) and her husband Ted (Jeff Weber) go out to eat and he drops the bomb: he's leaving her for another woman.  Things heat up and he leaves and gets into a taxi with Wendy chasing after, angry and calling him out for his philandering.  Ted has climbed into the cab of Darwan (Kingsley) and Wendy manages to get in behind him to continue her angry interrogation of Ted, which only gets more intense when he gives Darwan the address of his girlfriend, not his home with his wife.  He ends up not being able to take anymore and gets out, but not before giving Darwan money to take his wife home.
