'Restless' Review

"Restless" is a precious blah of an arty indie, and that's coming from a pretty faithful Gus Van Sant devotee (you can keep your "Elephant" and "Paranoid Park," but I deeply cherish "My Own Private Idaho" and, yes, "Milk"). Don't go thinking that "Restless" is a must simply because of who's involved. It's better left unseen.

'Jane Eyre' Review

I realized I made it through my whole review of this film without a mention of Dame Judi. A lot of that is surely  due to her being such a go-to casting  choice. As Rochester's earnest houemaid, she's perfectly serviceable, but this umpteenth "Eyre" adaptation is all about Ms. Wasikowska and Mr. Fassbender.

Do a little fist pump for Judi (may she never  stop working!), then mosey on over to SouthPhillyReview.com, where my full review of "Jane Eyre" is available for your consumption. CLICK HERE.
