We did that.Mom was at first more sympathetic to Garland's jazzy style of filmmaking, but that didn't last long when we dove deeper into it.There is a lot to recommend this, but there is a lot that suggests that you may want to run far, far away from this one and watch CIVIL WAR instead.Mom & Mac chat: Working out, HR not responding, panic attacks, and private stuff.The movie talk starts at 11:15.Next time we are talking about movi...

WoHos! The theme this time is "Loss of Innocence". We reviewed THE CLOVEHITCH KILLER from the US & THE INNOCENTS from Norway.

In THE INNOCENTS the inherent powerlessness is what is examined in a world where children...
