âBlack Mass,â the movie all of Boston has been dying to see â shot right here in our own back yard, where these grizzly events unfolded â is a funereal event.

ZIPPER: No, it's not a thriller about a tailer with a yen for alterations. It's drama about a straight arrow politician with an addiction to escorts. The handsome Patrick Wilson looking [...]
We are in the golden age of documentaries and a new one just released is an absolute masterwork. LISTEN TO ME MARLON gives us a piercingly intimate look inside the actor who changed everything about acting for all time, Marlon Brando. It turns out that this most enigmatic and provocative of stars left us quite a map to his [...]
Impossible as it sounds, Tom Cruise has done it again with THE best action/adventure blockbuster mainstream movie of the summer: MISSION IMPOSSIBLE: ROGUE NATION. I would not steer you wrong--this thing works on every level, from its trademark opening action sequence, a ridiculously over the top piece of derring-do which finds Tom hanging off the [...]
