Wes Anderson’s new movie sure has a lot of affairs to get in order. I think we can agree that Wes Anderson’s movies, whether they’re good, great, or mediocre, are whimsical and […]
The Phoenician Scheme
Bad Shabbos
A Jewish comedy that breaks a lot of Shabbat rules. “Bad Shabbos” is the second independent film I saw this year to deal with an unexpected death after the British dark comedy […]
