“Café de Flore” is an atypical French love story which seems so typical of French films. In this case, Canadian writer/director Jean-Marc Vallée weaves a pair of complex heartrending tales into parallel narratives. Each one flawlessly captures the multifaceted, fanatical, perplexing trials inherent in most ardent connections. The film splits its time between 1960s Paris ...

Glitter…at the mention of the name, a look of disgust appears on a face or an out burst of laughter. This full length movie debut for the songstress, Mariah Carey, was dumped on when it was first released and it carries that reputation with it at present. It seemed like everyone slammed Glitter and its ...
