Sunday Films News Roundup — February 5th, 2012

So, Ben Gazzara died this week. Stop it. I hate talking about actors and directors and writers that I loved dying. He was probably generally best known for his work with John Cassavettes in films like The Killing of a Chinese Bookie or Otto Preminger’s Anatomy of a Murder with Jimmy Stewart, though people...

Hope everyone is having a good fourth of July weekend and that you haven’t blown off any of your appendages while celebrating. Transformers 3 is making a shitload of money despite seemingly no one thinking it was good, but that’s just how Michael Bay movies work. I’m gonna go with a short preamble today...
