Negativity Alert!!!I recently read an article that touted the Sundance Film Festival (underway as I write this) as one of the world's three most important film festivals. This categorization flabbergasts me. Since when did the bigger-than-it-should...

Time constraints don't permit me to go into great detail now about my opinion of the film. (Seeing four films and writing four reviews in less than 48 hours limits available time.) That's what the review is for, anyway. Suffice it to say that I ...

A time to look back at the original "Star Wars" saga and the prequels. New reviews on the way for all six films in advance of the December 2015 release of Episode VII.
