Weekend Movies: Three of 2012’s Finest… Plus Kevin Ja
Do you have plans this weekend that will keep you from going to the movie theater? Cancel them. Three new films deserve your attention. I make no promises for the others, though.

Thanks to ‘Sinister’, I’ve finally learned my lesson. No longer will I believe any premature buzz for genre flicks. More often than not, early hype for a movie like this is the result of the studio screening it f...
‘Seven Psychopaths’ is one of those brilliant crime movies that nobody will see… on the big screen, at least. Imagine ‘Snatch’ set in the U.S. with a huge array of batshit crazy characters. Just about every...
When ‘Argo’ walks away with some sort of Oscar gold next February, I really want Ben Affleck to stand in front of the media and flip all of his naysayers the bird. Once the butt of many jokes, nobody laughs at him now....

Since I was on vacation last week, I tried to see as many movies as early as possible before I left. I RSVP’d to the press screening for ‘Pitch Perfect’ without knowing a single thing about the movie. When I told...
