Review:
Unhappy with what Oliver Stone did to Jim Morrison and the Doors
in his 1991 biopic? Here’s the doc for you. Director Tom
DiCillo avails himself of archival footage as Morrison, Ray
Manzarek, Robby Krieger and John Densmore leave their musical mark
on the 1960s. Clips from a film Morrison made of himself in […]

Review:
Here’s proof that Tina Fey and Steve Carell could squeeze
laughs out of a phone book. Josh Klausner’s script for
Date Night, in which they play Phil and Claire Foster, a
New Jersey couple trying to liven up their dull marriage with a
