It’s not a big secret that 2013 wasn’t a big deal to me, a fact at least two people have now told me was an incorrect opinion on my part (I’ve never really understood the logic of an assessment like that, but fine). 2014 has so far involved the Golden Globes (I didn’t watch), people ripping apart the Photoshop job on Black Widow’s Captain America: The Winter Soldier poster, renewed attention for the Woody Allen child molestation accusations that first appeared in the early 90’s, and vague mutterings about the Oscars.

For me, movies don’t get much better than any of the confrontation scenes between Meryl Streep and the late, unquestionably great Philip Seymour Hoffman in the film Doubt. If you’ve never seen that movie, then you’re missing a slew of great performances, the best of which easily belongs to Hoffman. It’s a complex, discomforting, and intensely demanding film, in terms of its storyline. It also provides those scenes with Streep and Hoffman. 

What’s that smell?  Is that…?  Why yes it is!  It’s Hollywood and it is incredibly desperate for your cash!  But how will you spend all that hard-earned money before Blockbuster season?  Fortunately I’m here to tell you exactly where to put your money before the big(ger) movies come out in May!
