The Turning
The project of turning a book of 17 short stories very loosely connected in the one movie is a daunting task. Producer Robert Connolly parceled the task of putting prose into film out to 17 different directors.

Blue Jasmine
Perhaps the single best decision Woody Allen made to get back his creativity was to move the location of his movies out of New York. Blue Jasmine takes place mainly in San Francisco although there are periodic flashbacks to New York and its summer playground, the Hamptons.

Before Midnight
Having watched the two previous films in this series (Before Sunrise and Before Sunset) I wanted to see what has happened to Jessie and Celine since we last saw them in Paris.

A Late Quartet, 42, and Croods
The trailer for A Late Quartet made the film look silly. But classical music lovers listen up!

A Good Day to Die Hard
Maybe a decade ago I stumbled into a Die Hardfilm on the road somewhere. I wanted to wind down in a hotel room. The action flik that I never wanted to see in a cinema was much better than I anticipated. This sequel A Good Day to Die Hardis just plain old stupid.
