I don’t like making definitive “BEST OF” lists. I love making lists of things I love, or things I want to recommend, or things I should get to later (and never do), but I’ve never seen the point of carving something in stone, standing at the top of a hill and...

Christmas Movie Mania: Money Train (1995)

Vicious Lips (Review)
VICIOUS LIPS is a mess of a film. The poster promises the intergalactic rock’n’roll adventures of an all-women new-wave band, but the final result is a disorienting half-finished nightmare. It’s got a great premise: The up-and-coming rock band The Vicious Lips must...
