Other Recent Film Screenings (Mini Reviews)

Last week, we saw a preview of the new Luke Wilson film “Henry Poole is Here.” Unless your idea of a great time is reading one of those “Chicken Soup for the Soul” books, avoid at all costs. The preview looked like it might be a little hokey, but I thought “Luke Wilson [...]
