First Lines: Dennis Lehane - Mystic River


When Sean Devine and Jimmy Marcus were kids, their fathers worked together at the Coleman Candy plant and carried the stench of warm chocolate back home with them.

Kidnap (2017)


A mother stops at nothing to recover her kidnapped son.

Although Halle Berry does as good as she, the kidnapped child is nothing more than a MacGuffin for a feature-length car chase.

The Company Men (2010)


Three men try to survive a round of corporate downsizing at a major company - and that affects them, their families, and their communities.

Bleak and obviously accurate view of Amarican corporate capitalism and its effects on those who work therin - well-paced, atmospheric film with a good ensemble.

Maltin***: "Empathetic slice of modern American life...while it may not score an emotional bull's-eye, it still has something valid to say about self-worth and self-respect."

ReMastered: Devil at the Crossroads (2019)


A look at the short, mysterious life of blues legend, Robert Johnson, who was said to have made a deal with the Devil at a crossroads in rural Mississippi.

Documentary is best revealing new information on Johnson's biography and even presents some relatives and direct descendants,  but doesn't really convey his musical ingenuity and relies too much on adaptations by his successors.
