At the movies: Beasts of the Southern Wild.

So I got to take part in a point/counterpoint-style review-off in the Scene this week. Much respect to Michael Sicinski, whose review of the Dark Knight Rises in Cinema Scope magazine was one of the best on the film that I've read. Let me know your thoughts...

At the movies: The Help.

Writing about race is difficult.

There's some outtakes of a sort from this piece coming. My editor and I are trying to figure out the best way to present them, but it's good stuff. Call it a nice dessert after the main meal of this, my thoughts on The Help.

At the movies: I am Love (Io sono l'Amore).

My take on the new Tilda Swinton epic, which I recommend heartily.
