It’s been a long time — 16 years to be precise — since the high water mark was set so high by “The Silence of the Lambs” for serial killer thrillers. And in those 16 years, there has yet to be a movie that even comes close to surpassing it. So it is fair to…
It’s just one of those weeks. I don’t have much interest in going to the theaters to watch anything. If only I were important enough to get screeners to the summer blockbusters.
