Some films are nothing more than showcases for great performances. In many ways, that’s exactly what Capote is – I don’t know if it could work with someone other than Philip Seymour Hoffman in the title role. At times incredibly fascinating and at others dreadfully slow, Capote is always kept aloft by the amazing performance … Continue reading

I mean, the only thing gayer than professional wrestling was this group of sweaty, bulging Thor foes. Turns out this is a baseball team, though. Still, don’t baseball dudes always pat each … Continue reading
I don’t find it surprising that Albert Brooks has a hard time getting his movies out there. I mean, they’re funny and smart and don’t include barely closeted bald musclemen interacting with ducks – why would America want to bother with them?
