Movie Breakdown: The Audition (Noah)
Pre-Screening Stance: From everything I can tell from the trailer – artistically grey cinematography, sharp pangs of violin music, unsmiling German faces – this movie isn’t going to be very uplifting. Luckily, non-uplifting is totally...

Movie Breakdown: Downhill
Pre-Screening Ramble: Force Majeure is so great that I don’t understand why anyone would even try to do a different version of it. With that being said, Will Ferrell and Julia Louis-Dreyfus are favorites of...
