What a quaint little picture this is. From Paris with Love is an R-rated movie for the person you were before you were old enough to get into R-rated movies. A throwback to a time when all an action thriller had to do was dispense with menacing minorities by the dozen; when all an American […]
In writer-director Scott Cooper’s debut feature, based on Thomas Cobb’s novel, Jeff Bridges plays an aging country-and-western crooner who’s just about washed up, evidently in booze.

Colin Firth navigates the simultaneous numbness and volatility that mourning […]
Before Youth in Revolt became a movie, it was the first book in C.D. Payne’s popular six-novel series, known collectively as The Journals of Nick Twisp. Its partisans likely will find the film disappointing, but the rest of us should have a good time. Rebel without a clue: Michael Cera plays up his mean […]
