About Time
Rating: More pedestrian than sophisticated, it still produces a warm glow.

Dallas Buyers Club
Rating: If you privately think that Indiana needs a Constitutional ban on gay marriage, go see Jared Leto’s performance as Rayon, a transvestite that heterosexual men will love.
Thor: The Dark World and All is Lost
Rating: Simply stated, forget the national critics. Without Redford, All Is Lost is a waste of time. Yet, Thor: The Dark World is a rollicking fun time.
Wadjda
Rating: Wadjda is the first film by a female Saudi Arabian Director. The film dances with a twinkle in its eye, and it really should be seen. In English sub-titles.
12 Years a Slave
Rating: Before praising American exceptionalism, shouldn’t we remember a history that combined liberty with slavery?
Carrie
Rating: It is safe to say that abusive teenagers should avoid dumping pig’s blood on either Sissy Spacek or Chloe Grace Moretz.
The Fifth Estate
Rating: Director Bill Condon has given us a film better suited for a political seminar than the big screen. Just what are the consequences of Americans spying on themselves?
The Counselor
Rating: Wrapped around my 5-day murder trial last week I saw Machete Kills and The Counselor. Both are fitting tributes to my client’s massive shortcomings.
