Movie Review: The Equalizer
Nutshell: I’d give The Equalizer an A-. A well done update of the 80s badass savior series, there’s a few hiccups here and there (see: the overuse of Important Slow Walking), but all in all an enjoyable good-guys-win film. I … Continue reading

Elsewhere Review: This is Where I Leave You
Nutshell: I’d give This is Where I Leave You at B. The Altman family may be dysfunctional, but the film is a well-oiled machine. Funny, inappropriate as hell, and so much like real life it’s oftentimes uncomfortable. Luckily the cast … Continue reading
