Movie Review
Take 2: Twenty Feet From Stardom

'20 Feet From Stardom' an ear-opening film

Showtime's ‘Ray Donovan’ brings Southie to Lala Land

Showtime's ‘Ray Donovan’ brings Southie to Lala Land

This fantastic drama starring Liev Schreiber and Jon Voight is that wonder of TV wonders, a low concept series that can’t be easily reduced to a quick sentence.

Movies

Movie review
'White House Down'

'White House Down'

2.5 Stars  Intentionally or not, this is the comedy hit of the summer. Each nutty scenario is surpassed by the next, ludicrous story lines coalesce with expert orchestration, and absurd details return with perfect timing to build to a crescendo of hilarity.
Movie Review
'Maniac'

'Maniac'

2.0 Stars  Elijah Wood plays a creep who kills women and attaches their scalps to mannequins in this remake of the notorious 1980 slasher flick.
Movie Review
'The Heat'

'The Heat'

3.0 Stars  If you’re going to make a dopey, foul-mouthed, predictable lady-buddy-cop movie, you might as well make it funny. And until it overstays its welcome, “The Heat” is shamefully funny.
