Warby Parker Saves Frankie Feldman’s Bacon — AGAIN!
Oops! He did it again! It seems like just a few months ago that my Australian Labradoodle Frankie Feldman decided to use my gorgeous new Watts Blue Saphire glasses from Warby Parker as a chew toy.

AMERICAN ULTRA Review: Not Your Basic Stoner Movie
Previously, I’d found that watching a “stoner” movie is a lot like watching people smoke pot. The ones actually partaking are having a great time, and the rest of us feel left out, bored and annoyed without understanding what’s so funny, intriguing and/or profound. And never having inhaled myself, I especially don’t get the entertainment value. So my…
THE MAN FROM UNCLE Review
If you’re old enough to have been cognizant in the ’60’s, you can probably remember whether you were on Team Illya Kuryakin or Team Napoleon Solo.

MISSION IMPOSSIBLE Review — A Rogue Nation of Spiffy Spies
It isn’t often you witness a theater full of critics clapping, cheering and laughing out loud, but that’s exactly what happened at the all media screening of Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation.

BEST OF ENEMIES Review — Best of Docs
There are so many documentaries out these days that seemingly serve no other purpose than to force an agenda down our throats. Few filmmakers dare to present both sides of an issue, and you come away feeling as if you’ve just been beaten over the head with a spiked propaganda stick, no matter how you originally…
