Movie Review: Kim’s Video
3 stars out of 5 In the mid 90s I had an East Village girlfriend, so we spent a decent amount of time at Kim’s Video on St. Mark’s Place looking for something to rent. (It could be a frustrating search, as the movies were snobbily filed by director instead of title.) Post-relationship, Kim’s reamined […]
Movie Review: The Fall Guy
2.5 stars out of 5Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt are delightful in this. I want Gosling to leave Eva Mendes and Blunt to leave John Krasinski and I want Gosling and Blunt to get married. As a wedding gift, I want them to be cast in a much, much better movie than this piece of […]

Movie Review: The Beast
3.5 stars out of 5I didn’t know much about The Beast going into this: Léa Seydoux (I’m a fan) time-travels, and keeps meeting the same man. I was hoping — and even told the concessions staffer — that the movie would be more weird than romantic. I think I got what I wanted. Just a […]
