In a recent issue of Entertainment Weekly, columnist Chris Nashawaty bemoaned what has become of summer movies. He gripes that just about every release between the beginning of May and the end of August is either an over-stuffed blow-em-up, or a superhero franchise in the waiting.

With a Little Help From My Friends: TRULY, MADLY, DEEPLY
Gonna start something a little new with this post. I got a movie reccomendation this week from my friend Beth. As I was watching it, I knew I wanted to write about it…but not in the same way I write my usual full-on reviews, or my doubleback DVD reactions. Instead, I wanted to combine my…
