Jake Gyllenhaal for Stronger
I sat down with Jake Gyllenhaal to talk about the Boston Marathon film, “Stronger”

Detroit
She leads a cast of John Boyega, Will Poulter, Algee Smith, Jacob Latimore, Jason Mitchell, Hannah Murray, Jack Reynor, John Krasinski, Anthony Mackie and more in the retelling of the Algiers Motel incident in Detroit in 1967.

Home Again, Beach Rats
This week brings “Home Again” or as I call it: “Rich White Lady Problems” and “Beach Rats”. “Home Again” is a self indulgent waste of screen time, it’s the product of Hallie Meyers-Shyer, who comes from the first family of rom-coms (her mother/the film’s producer is Nancy Meyers, and her father is Charles Shyer).

The Hitman’s Bodyguard, Ingrid Goes West
As summer winds down we have “The Hitman’s Bodyguard” starring Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson, as well as the social media centric “Ingrid Goes West” with Aubrey Plaza and Elizabeth Olsen. I was disappointed by “The Hitman’s Bodyguard” – with a cast like Reynolds, Jackson, Salma Hayek, and Gary Oldman, you’d think they’d be…

Wind River, Menashe
This week brings us two very different looks at two very different cultures. “Wind River” is a crime thriller that takes place on the Wind River Indian Reservation, and stars Jeremy Renner and Elizabeth Olsen. “Menashe” is a heartwarming story (entirely in Yiddish) of an Orthodox Hasidic Jewish father and son in Brooklyn.
