An orphaned kid (Munro Chambers) … Read more
Writer Diablo Cody, director Jason Reitman (UP IN THE AIR), and star Charlize Theron reunite with TULLY, a film that can easily be viewed as something of a thematic, spiritual sequel to both the Oscar-winning JUNO (directed by Reitman, from Cody’s Oscar-winning script) and 2011’s sorely under-seen coming-of-age comedy YOUNG ADULT. In this very modern … Read more
Director Ben Stiller (who also co-wrote the film), leads an all-star ensemble inlcuding Robert Downey Jr. Jack Black, Jay Baruchel, Steve Coogan, Danny McBride, Nick Nolte, and Bill Hader in a one of the funniest spoofs of war films (and Hollywood!) ever made. TROPIC THUNDER follows about a group of self-absorbed, pampered actors who set … Read more

Germany’s Best Foreign Language nominee in this year’s Oscar race, TONI ERDMANN, is a one-of-a-kind father-daughter story that hits all the right notes – raw, painful, awkward, and laugh-out-loud funny – and is one of 2016’s the most memorable films. The Germans are funny? It turns out they are, and the long-awaited third film from … Read more
