Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy
“A complex and sometimes confusing Cold War thriller that might require a few viewings.”

“Has it’s moments with a solid cast, but is still a poor man’s version of ‘Ocean’s 11.'”
Restless
“Feels so calculated, even the names of the lead characters sound like they were overanalyzed.”
Higher Ground
“Farmiga’s first go-around as director doesn’t translate to a narrative with purpose.”
Moneyball
“A baseball movie for nerds…that dissect the game into an intriguing underdog story.”
