At the movies: Two-Lane Blacktop.

I love writing about the classics, and Monte Hellman's 1971 road epic is very much one of them. Nashvillians are in luck this weekend, as the Belcourt presents a 35mm print as part of its Weekend Classics program. Don't miss it.

And if you're not in the Nastyville area, well then- road trip...

Ave Madea.

So, for anyone who'd like to know my thoughts on Madea's Big Happy Family, you can do so here.

I'm glad to be expanding my critical voice.
