Alain Delon: Movie Star Perfected

If you look up “movie star” in the dictionary, there’s probably a picture of Alain Delon. There’s never been a greater example of star power — the infectious aura that helps the audience not only watch you, but feel you, adore you and admire you the way a little girl admires her favorite boy band. With wonderful infatuation, we watched Delon light up the screen.

The actor passed away on Aug. 18, but his presence lives on…

Review: ‘Reagan’ Glosses the Political for the Persona

Ronald Reagan deserves his own movie. While his popularity waxed and waned over the course of his two terms, even his staunchest critics can’t deny his decisive role in thawing the Cold War and melting Soviet power. Fans of The Gipper finally get their wish with Reagan, an independently produced, long-gestating passion project starring Dennis Quaid as the actor-turned-president who turbocharged national morale and steered Republicans toward a divisive conservatism that helped define the modern GOP. The result is a political biopic with the heartbeat of a faith-based drama — earnest and aiming to inspire rather than provoke…
