  Labor Day

  Thomas Pashko (Managing editor) – February 5, 2014

  I knew very little about Labor Day before going in to see it. I knew it was directed by Jason Reitman, who was behind such recent successes as Up in the Air and Juno. I knew it starred Kate Winslet and Josh Brolin, two actors I’ve always liked and respected. And I knew it was being marketed as this season’s answer to The Notebook, a period romantic drama about impossible love.

  People like to throw the word “ridiculous” around pretty casually. I’m guilty of this myself. Quite frequently, I find myself using the word “ridiculous” without really thinking about what it means.

  Love stories will always be popular. Everyone can relate to the desire for love, and some of the most beloved movies ever are about courtship and romance.

  Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit

  Thomas Pashko (Managing editor) – January 22, 2014

  I’m a lifelong fan of spy movies. Most spy stories tend to fall into one of two camps: the quiet, stoic stories of espionage and political intrigue (Notorious or Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy), or bombastic, action-filled adventures (the Bourne or Bond series).
