Hello all, and welcome to Everything Old is New Again, my new and improved regular column on Moviejawn dot com (the site you are currently reading)! As Jerry Seinfeld once wondered aloud (about Tide detergent no less) "How can something be both New AND Improved?" Well, I can't speak about Tide, but as far as this column goes, I can actually explain.

Molly's Game

Molly's Game is the 2017 holiday release that alternates action with pathos grabs, entertaining enough and safe to see with relatives who don’t get your taste in film. It is similar to other December releases, such as American Hustle (2013) and The King’s Speech (2010): star-studded and based on real events, with an occasionally intrusive score and a triumphant hero. It does the average Christmas release one better by including a female protagonist and a few more people of color. However, Molly’s Game is less successful in its attempts to be topical and profound.
