The final years of French Master Renoir prove to be dull in Gilles Bourdos’ bio-drama

Benedict Cumberbatch makes plenty of mayhem but STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS disappoints
They run, these good-looking crewmembers of the Starship Enterprise. They run constantly; through the brush of a strange jungle planet; down the endless passageways of the Enterprise; across the office plazas of future San Francisco. There’s always one thing in common. Returning... continue reading
