Olivia DeJonge and Kathryn Hahn stars in Universal Pictures' THE VISIT

If you’re one of the few people out there who stills likes M. Night Shyamalan’s movies, you may not want to read this review of The Visit. If you hate them or are hoping to see him make good stuff again, I suggest you take some time to see what I have to say about it. By doing so, not …

Ben Kingsley and Patricia Clarkson star in Broad Green Pictures' "Learning to Drive"

Learning to Drive is a failure, but not in the way you may be thinking. It does not fail to accurately tell a story or create an emotional response; it does so with clunky but adequate results.
