The Equalizer: 'Like an argument between a couple who have been married too long'
When "Eastern Promises" came out in 2007, I felt like it signaled the end of an era for a certain kind of cinema gangster. The Italians were finished. The Chinese didn't cut it anymore. The new kids on the block were the Russian Mafia and they were the meanest of the lot — neck deep in abduction and sex trafficking. Now we have "The Equalizer," a sort of "Eastern Promises" transported from its London setting to a big-box hardware store in Boston.

Grace of Monaco: 'Decked with as much glittering artifice as the budget allows'
One of the best moments in "Grace of Monaco" comes when Alfred Hitchcock (Roger Ashton-Griffiths) visits Princess Grace (Grace Kelly, played by Nicole Kidman) in Monaco, hoping to lure her back to Hollywood via a starring role in his new movie "Marnie." Ashton-Griffiths is intentionally grotesque and the scheming, lecherous side of Hitchcock surfaces like pond scum. Grace is polite but she winds up refusing, mostly because her current role as Princess of Monaco is far more absorbing.
