It’s been a lot to catch up on since I spent last week and a good part of this week with the flu, but the only thing I was really upset I missed out on the day it was released was a  new Mickey Mouse short film called Croissant de Triomphe that also features Minnie as...

Ugh, day light savings time, I hate you so much. I feel completely out of sorts for the entire day every time you happen. I feel like today is a wasted day even though that’s irrational.  Anyway, it’s another week and another slate of film festivals to talk about. I’m at neither one of...

Woody Allen has called The Purple Rose of Cairo his favorite film, the only one that ever really came out right, the way he envisioned it.

So, unless you’ve been living under a rock this week you probably already know that the Florida Film Festival is underway. It is, I believe, the biggest edition of the festival yet, and the handful of films I’ve seen while we were going through our reviews were all good. My picks for can’t-miss of...
