by Tony Shea March 26, 2014

Beginning this week I’ll be starting a new column where I review films that have been clogging up my DVR, some old, some new. Today I’ll be reviewing Paul Schrader’s 2013 film, “The Canyons,” which is so unrelentingly terrible that it makes “Grown Ups 2” seem like “Citizen Kane” by comparison. If you’re in a […]
