There is one reason to see ON THE ROCKS, and that's Bill Murray's flamboyant, slyly funny, and altogether charming performance. Writer/director Sofia Coppola has once again teamed Murray with a young actress to chart an adventurous emotional course. In 2003's "Lost In Translation" Murray played a lonely movie star adrift in Tokyo who meets Scarlett [...]
Who ya gonna call? Well in 2016 it's the all-female GHOSTBUSTERS, a re-envisioning, if you will (and many wouldn't), of the 1984 cult classic played by a fabulous foursome: Melissa McCarthy, and SNL's Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon, and Leslie Jones. This all woman cast--plus one token pretty boy hired as a receptionist for his looks and awkward dance moves (a riotous Chris [...]
Here are two movies to lighten up a summer day-- ALOHA boasts a first rate cast BRADLEY COOPER, EMMA STONE, and RACHEL McADAMS in an offbeat Hawaiian love triangle written/directed by the quirky Cameron Crowe. At his best he gave us JERRY MAGUIRE and ALMOST FAMOUS and at his worst gave us ZOO. ALOHA falls somewhere [...]
Bill Murray is the screen's funniest, most endearing curmudgeon. Here in ST. VINCENT as the title character, he's all pockmarked and rumply, biting the head off every cheerful do-gooder who has the nerve to make conversation. But that title is part of the problem, pretty much giving away the ending and any hope for subtlety. I had been lead to believe otherwise by the first two thirds [...]
It's time for the stars of summer --Godzilla, the Guardians of the Galaxy, those rebellious apes, and Tom Cruise-- to make way for the more adult pleasures of FALL. Things are getting serious now as movies designed to jolt the brain as much as the blood pressure are set to hit the big screen, many of [...]
The modern day spinner of cinematic fairytales, Wes Anderson, is like that other "Andersen"--Hans Christian-- in his telling of layered fables that have adults, as well as children in their sights. But Wes Anderson accentuates the comedy, like "concupiscent curds" atop a heady brew of murder, mutilation, and even deeper mayhem. His latest THE GRAND [...]
Look. I love the arts. And this is a FANTASTIC a story about rescuing artistic masterpieces from Nazis and returning them to their owners-- I mean, what could be better than that?!! Well, having seen THE MONUMENTS MEN-- just about anything. This is one of those hidden chapters of World War II that begs to [...]

In a season that features at least one remarkable presidential portrayal--here comes another, and this one definitely the wackier. An Irish/Englishman playing Lincoln is one thing, but America's unofficial court jester and one time king of Caddy Shack is another kettle of acting entirely. Once you get over the shock of seeing Bill Murray as [...]
