After nearly a year of waiting, I finally got to see the latest version of one of my favorite classic love stories, Jane Eyre.

Rental Picks: Miller’s Crossing and Road to Perdition
I finally got around to seeing Miller's Crossing this past weekend, but instead of my usual Weekend Roundup, I decided to review another gangster movie that I've been wanting to do for quite a while.

Yesterday was practically in blizzard condition right before I went to church around 11 am CST, and the snow …

EVERYONE’S A CRITIC: Life as We Know It, Twilight Saga: Eclipse, The Thin Red Line
It's been almost a year since I had an Everyone's a Critic post! I shall try to have this a bit more regular, perhaps more of a quarterly feature on this blog. Special thanks to Mike Beery (check out Mike's contributor page), my Twi-mom friend Marianne Lemire, and FC's frequent guest blogger Ted S. for …
