One of the most talked about movies of the season has to be “Roma,” the latest masterpiece from director Alfonso Cuaron (“Children of Men,” “Gravity”), who shows us the harsh realities of […]

Never Look Away
The real art in “Never Look Away” is patience. This German import, which has been entered in the Oscars for the Best Foreign Language nomination, runs for 3 hours, and ergo, it […]
