Greta
The Larchmont Chronicle
Tony Medley
Highlighted by cinematography that enhances the spookiness even if, like me, you don't like horror, this is worth seeing just to appreciate the incomparable film-making.

Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice
The Larchmont Chronicle

...full of music,...a treat to hear her sing parts of so many songs that she helped to make famous and to learn so much about her.

Love, Gilda
The Larchmont Chronicle
Tony Medley
...a fascinating portrait of a woman who rose to the heights from nowhere. The only negative is that there is only one short clip of Roseanne Roseannadanna. Even so, it's a terrific documentary.

Mile 22
The Larchmont Chronicle
Tony Medley
These movies just seem to get worse and worse. ...one idiotic fight and car chase and gun battle after another...The really depressing thought is that they are clearly setting the audience up for a sequel, God forbid.

This is a genre and genres apparently have rules. And one rule for this genre is; make it absurd.

Shock and Awe
The Larchmont Chronicle

...unremittingly boring...Considering the fact that Reiner has been a talented director and that Woody Harrelson, Tommy Lee Jones, and James Marsden are competent actors, I never dreamed it could be so bad.

Circus of Books is a whirlwind of a story, and an absolute triumph of a film.
