Nash (Hamilton and Ogilvie, 2013)
Steve Nash is by all accounts a well grounded, interesting, engaging fellow with whom any intelligent and articulate person could pass an hour and have great memories of a stimulating conversation.
-
Finding Fela! (Gibney, 2014)
Alex Gibney is one of those directors for whom I get in line, even if I know nothing about the subject of his latest film.

Gotham Episode 1.9 Recap: Harvey Dent
The last two episodes have been my favorites, and in general I have warmed slightly to the show after a rocky first half-dozen episodes or so.

Design is One (Brew and Guerra, 2012)
Lella and Massimo Vignelli are two of the proverbial artists whose work you've no doubt seen even if you've never heard their names.

DamNation (Knight and Rummel, 2014)
At first the film looks like it might turn into a standard taking sides/issue film, with proponents of dams touting the wonders of hydroelectric power and critics lamenting their effect on wildlife.
-
Laggies (Shelton, 2014)
Fresh on the heels of Begin Again, Knightley's turn here solidifies her status as my favorite A-list actress.
-
Interstellar (Nolan, 2014)
A full plot synopsis of Interstellar would probably exhaust my thesaurus' stock of synonyms for "inexplicable."

The body count is rising pretty quickly in Gotham--violence is the lazy writer's shorthand--and it is a little disturbing and disappointing how inured we are supposed to be to it.
