By Laurie Coker Rating: C+/B- Unlike his surprise hit Once, Dubliner John Carney’s latest film Begin Again’s credits roll through the names of some far more famous faces. Keira Knightly and Mark Ruffalo lead a cast of knowns and unknowns through a tender story of relationship recovery and self-discovery.

At least that film had that quality going… Continue reading Review: THINK LIKE A MAN TOO
