Hello Friends, The first thing you should do is YouTube the song “Flower”, by Moby, and press “play” while reading this review. It’s the very first song I thought of when I sat down to write this piece. It captures the vibe of Jamie Foxx walking across a god-forsaken piece of land holding a rifle…
Hello Friends, The Oscars are fast approaching, and in my push to see as many Best Picture Nominees as possible, I found myself hoofing it over to Williamsburg Cinemas, a few weeks ago, in order to catch one of the very few showings of Silver Linings Playbook that I could find anywhere below 100th St. I rushed…
