Movie Review: “Approaching Midnight”
Broadly speaking, awful movies fall into two categories — awfully bad in a funny way, and awfully bad period. “Approaching Midnight” staggers into the latter category, an excruciatingly dull, badly written, badly-acted vanity project for writer-director-star Sam Logan Khaleghi.A tale … Continue reading
Next Interviews: Steve McQueen and Chiwetel Ejiofor of “12 Years a Slave”

Movie Review: “Insidious, Chapter 2”
More silly than its sinister forebear, “Insidious: Chapter 2” is entertaining for the contortions the script takes to incorporate both a brief prequel and highlights from the first film into a new 105 minute package. This is a Mobius strip … Continue reading
