Ceremony (2010)



Two friends are off on a weekend outing. Marshall thinks the trip is to re-establish their friendship, but Sam has ulterior motives in mind as he crashes the wedding of a woman he still loves.

Rather unfunny romantic comedy is well directed with zest, but suffers from the male lead'S thoroughly dislikeable character.

Maltin**: "Romantic comedy almost never recovers from its introduction of Angarano who is so strident it's hard to root for him  - or believe that Thurman ever cared for him. Debut feature for writer-director Winkler shows promise, but by the time his two-dimensional characters finally reveal more colors it's almost too late."

Empire State (2013)



Two childhood friends plan to rob an armored car depository, but an NYPD officer stands in their way.

OK, but unremarkable crime story, although it does document a true unusual and unlikely heist.
