A characteristically strong female vibe emotes from Enough Said, writer-director Nicole Holofcener’s latest. Her romcom is not all feminine however. Some men are required. Good thing they got a real one. James Gandolfini – in his final role – charms as a divorced Dad who likes to be comfo…

Don’t let the crummy title scare you away from this surprisingly fun romantic comedy starring the ever charming Michelle Pfeiffer and featuring the fast-times wit of Amy Heckerling. Apparently this movie never made it into American theaters, though it did gross $24 million in Brazil. Those Braz… |

High quality, reasonably engrossing production that seeks to annoy, and succeeds. |

Molly’s Game contains large doses of glamorous sin, sans sex, even though the women are all super sexy. The lack of sex, consensual or #MeToo, makes this R-rated flick rather tame as sexy movies go. That said, Jessica Chastain surely got good money to gamely play the sexy and intrepid Molly Blo…

Glamorous L.A. noir from back when real men wore fedoras makes Mulholland Falls a high calorie treat. A sultry Jennifer Connolly cavorting with John Malkovich and Nick Nolte makes it a guilty pleasure. Cheesy dialogue makes it a bit tough to swallow. Should this luxo crime thriller be bett…

Occasionally LOL, though generally too clever for its own good, this tongue-in-cheek LA murder mystery is more head-scratcher than belly-laugher. That said, those in the know about the movie industry will certainly enjoy the self-referential humor.

Amusing albeit self-absorbed, this lesbian-family-values comedy succeeds by putting humor ahead of politics, thus creating a modestly enjoyable movie for people of all persuasions. The story of teenage kids connecting with their biological father – much to the consternation of their lesbian Moms…
