What is one to make of the movie, “Hello, My Name is Doris”?

Make tracks in the opposite direction is the short answer.

Much like Christopher Nolan’s ineffable “Memento,” “Remember” plays around with memory.

Or perhaps more accurately, with the lack thereof.

I’d been warned.

I asked the kid at the concession stand if he’d seen “Knight of Cups” and he said yes.

So, how was it?

In “Zootopia,” the sensational new animated feature from Disney, not only does the lion lie down with the lamb, they work together, take yoga classes together, and shop at the same stores. So do rhinos and tigers, giraffes and jaguars, wolves and voles.

Remember the old mantra about the war in Vietnam? The one about winning “hearts and minds?”

In “Whiskey Tango Foxtrot,” Tina Fey’s sharper-than-sharp new movie, hearts and minds are “the two best places to shoot somebody.” Or so says the young Marine being interviewed by newscaster, Kim Baker (Fey).

Here’s how “The Lady in the Van” came about:

In 1970, playwright Alan Bennett, moved to what he calls “a good street on the up and up … Dickens’ abandoned widow once lived here.”

The Coen brothers can be a lot like the little girl who had a little curl right in the middle of her forehead.
When they’re good, they’re very, very good. But when they’re bad, they’re horrid.

A not-so-funny thing happened to “Jane Got A Gun” on the way to theaters.

Actually a whole lot of not-so-funny things happened.
