Like “Spontaneous,” this horror film also has romance involved Unlike more humorous coming-of-age films, however, “It Follows” is literally a tale of the worst things that can happen when you have sex

Based on the 2005 Cormac McCarthy film, “No Country for Old Men” may be the Coen Brothers' best film ever This is a bold claim given the prolific and impressive catalog of the Coen brothers from Minnesota, but it is the only Best Picture winner they have ever made The film would go on to win four Oscars from eight nominations

We started with Tom Hanks This month, thanks to this 1996 classic about the non-Beatles “Fab Four,” we have the opportunity to do just that
In the film, however, the fictional band is named “The Wonders” (later renamed “The Wonders”) and features lead singer Jimmy Mattingly (Jonathon Shake), lead guitarist Lenny Hayes (Steve Zahn), bassist TB Player (Ethan Embry) on bass, and Guy “Skitch” Patterson on drums They began performing locally, but were discovered by Mr Amos White (Hanks), A&R manager for Play Tone Records, and quickly made a name for themselves on the Billboard charts The film is more than adequate for Hanks' directorial debut, but don't miss the Academy Award-winning songs written by Fountains of Wayne bassist Adam Schlesinger
