Red 2 review: global positioning

Fri, Aug 09, 2013
7 comments

Smart, breezy spy action, with an of-the-moment vibe that takes it post-post-9/11 and into the Wikileaks era of global politics.

Steve Coogan is still, hilariously, the same old awful, insecure jerk, but the media satire that has always revolved around the Alan Partridge character is somewhat diminished.

Enough Said trailer: James Gandolfini’s final film

Thu, Aug 08, 2013
