![]() Not especially funny or thrilling, Tower Heist does offer a proven cast of name actors and a topical story. In fairness, I viewed it on an airliner seatback screen. While seeing it in the theater is no longer an option, viewing it on a big flatscreen in a home theater may have stimulated a hi…

![]() This movie was entertaining and engaging, albeit a bit humdrum for the likes of Micheal Caine and Demi Moore.

Mostly it’s a first-rate buddy picture, not unlikely buddies but very likely budd… |

![]() How to Steal a Million could just as easily be titled How to Steal a Movielover’s Heart. Audrey Hepburn & Peter O’Toole in their primes, Paris as if in a stylish fantasy, lots of well-earned laughs: it’s a sure thing. Wiliam Wyler famously directed Princess Audrey in Roman Holiday…

![]() Sure bets usually aren’t. For those of us who like casinos and crime movies however, Croupier is a lock. With all due respect to Martin Scorsese, it arguably tops his Casino as the quintessential casino movie. It centers on a croupier (_de…
