Out in Theaters: LOVE IS STRANGE
Beneath Sachs' caring direction is a wealth of production touches to love, from the handsome set design to the cutting piano sonatas. Susan Jacob's classical musical selection is soft and…

Out in Theaters: THE NOVEMBER MAN
The question remains: will this be a success with audiences? All evidence points to a resounding meh but quite honestly, the meh-ness of The November Man might just prove the…

From Woody Allen to Meatloaf, this installment of Weekly Review takes a look at some of the flicks of 2014 that haven’t met much fanfare.
