Drunk on Foolish Pleasures: The Killing

For the next few weeks, Dear Reader, I intend to take you on a grim and rain-glazed trip to the Big City after dark. We will become embroiled in crime, we will fall in love with the wrong dame, we will find ourselves in over our heads, and we will ultimately be destroyed by corruption, avarice, and our own blackest motivations.

It’ll be fun! Won’t you come along?

This really is a great year for genre movies.

Review: Chef

They Came Together - Chicago Critics Film Festival Review

by Patrick Bromley

Joke for joke, They Came Together is the funniest movie since 2001's Wet Hot American Summer. That shouldn't be a surprise, since both films are directed by the great David Wain and written by Wain and Michael Showalter. They've done it again.
