Opening soon exclusively at AMC Quail Springs Mall 24, the South African film is a mostly unflinching look at the enormous and devastating social consequences the disease still exerts in a part of the world where nearly 12 percent of the population has it. The story, while harrowing, sidesteps becoming advocacy cinema by casting itself […]

Higher Ground
Nor is it “The Passion of the Christ,” but it’s an honest study about one person’s lifelong, in-andout struggle with issues of her faith, from die-hard believer to doubting Thomas. The indie drama opens soon at AMC Quail Springs Mall 24, 2501 W. Memorial. Based on a true story, the film finds Farmiga playing the […]

Cool shoes
A friend is committed to laughing at me whenever I do, since she insists they are ridiculous, but like a forbidden boyfriend, her scorn has only deepened our love. It’s true that Oxford flats can be tricky and can look a bit orthopedic if you don’t pair them with the right clothes, but I don’t […]
