Weekend Box Office: “Taken” takes off one more time, “Selma” #2, “Unbroken clears $100 million
The last and least of the “Taken” movies may hit $35-38 million, thanks to a big Friday and those filmgoers insufficiently warning everybody who might go Sat. or Sunday. Poor reviews, which came late because Fox knew it wasn’t very … Continue reading
Movie Review: “Leviathan”
Here she is, Mother Russia, in all its bloated, drunken, allegorical glory. “Leviathan” is a modern parable of an ancient state and caricatures and stereotypes as old as vodka itself. Andrey Zvyagintsev’s film is, like the corrupt politician and hapless … Continue reading

Movie Review: “The World Made Straight”
