Two words: “Chick Drama” :) I never would have rented this myself, but I was stuck on a flight to Philly from San Fran without any reading material, so gave STP2 a chance. It was torture. A constancy of needless drama over trivial romantic rites of passage for young women. The interactions see…

A subtle dry humor is infused in to this deliberately paced indie drama about a man who wrestles with his changing direction in life. No matter how much Henry wants to be left alone a series of funny and quirky interactions with neighbors keeps him plugged in to humanity. The process he goes th…

A man newly without a country – procedurally trapped in the international transfer lounge at JFK. The possibilities for where to take a story like this are endless, and this movie takes advantage of all Tom Hanks has to offer. A clueless foreign national needing to learn how to survive inside…

Definitely worth your time – especially if you see yourself as a wine fan. This fun and light-hearted movie recounts a famous 1976 blind tasting of wines from California vs. France. It is very interesting to see one take on Napa Valley’s history as well as a taste of the personalities that …

A teen movie that is really about adulthood. Why does Justin suck his thumb? Watch this gem of a movie and you’ll find a unique twist on the turbulent-teen themed movie. Navigating through family dysfunction, flighty girls, an orthodontist who moonlights as a psychologist, and just being a t…

Both funny and sobering at the same time TLO brings 3 soldiers together for an erratic journey back home. Like many movies of this type, the focus is on the characters and dealing with the stresses life brings. TLO brings its own unique twist by adding many humorous moments. Not the LOL type of …

A so-so Robin Williams flick about a 10 year old boy who ages in hyper-time. This should have been a cake-walk for Robin Williams — I mean think of all the silly shticks this could have generated. Instead, Robin comes across as not trying that hard and expectations are let down as the Robin Wil…

OK
An original coming of age movie with a unique blend of humor, fantasy, and drama. Altar Boys follows a group of bored teenagers as they use pranks, wit, and creative dirty-comic book writing to get by in an oppressive Catholic school. Oh, and if you might take offense at a movie full of jabs at C…
