The recent movie drought is over!
The fall film season officially kicks in this weekend with three diverse cinematic entries.
The first—A WALK AMONG THE TOMBSTONES—has Liam Neeson playing an ex-New York City cop who’s now working as an undercover private investigator who operates just a stop outside the law.
The second is THE MAZE RUNNER, a futuristic thriller of confusion and subconscious teen angst as adapted from the best selling novel by James Dashner.
Then there’s ANOTHER maze of sorts in the form of the the dysfunctional Altman family.
In THIS IS WHERE I LEAVE YOU, newly widowed Jane Fonda is hauling her mixed bag of estranged siblings home to observe Shiva, the seven days of mourning all under one roof.
Talk about bringing baggage along here!
Including Jason Bateman, Tina Fey, Adam Driver, Rose Byrne and Katheryn Hahn.
We’re talking an hour and 43 minutes of chaos, heartache and yes, redemption.
Life SHOULD be imperfect and complicated—and it is under Jane Fonda’s roof where “speak-before-you-think” all too often rules the roost and where Fonda’s mouth has no filter.
Did I see the surprise ending coming? Nope, but there sure was a hint about half way into the movie.
‘Nuff said?
THIS IS WHERE I LEAVE YOU – a smart, bittersweet adult comedy that works on various levels – gets a Grade of B.
Think dysfunctional family fun, playing like a cross between MEET THE PARENTS and THE BIG CHILL. New this weekend, citywide.

Jane Fonda still a hot dame. Saw her on Kimmel the other night plugging the movie. He couldn’t get enough of her.
Jane Fonda a “hot dame,” alex?
She’ll be 77 right before Christmas.
I don’t really want to press the point, but you sure you haven’t been watching too many “Barbarella” reruns?
Fu&k Hanoi Jane. Now and forever.
