Movie Review: “Baby Assassins 3,” “Nice Days” for killing?

Movie Review: This “Duchess” Smuggles Diamonds and Gets Her Revenge

Movie Preview: Oscar winner Emma Thompson finds her inner badass in “Dead of Winter”

Documentary Preview: “AKA Charlie Sheen”
I can’t remember what project Martin Sheen was promoting when he got into the habit of asking journalists/interviewers to “pray” for his careening, trainwreck of a son, Charlie. Martin’s the one face we don’t see among those testifying in this … Continue reading
