This spin-off/remake wastes the iconic character and rolls gutter balls. “The Big Lebowski” will always be one of the Coen Brothers’ most extraordinary and nostalgic masterpieces of this or any other century. It resonates with fans with its twisted sense… Read More ›
In this colorful sequel, Shaun gets a Space Odyssey. Maybe it was for the best that “Missing Link” took home the Golden Globe for Best Animated Feature, because lately stop motion films have been bombing at the box office. Either… Read More ›
