MovieStyle: Anticipation

Nobody ever sees the same movie as anyone else because we all bring our own special set of assumptions and expectations to the theater with us.

In this week’s MovieStyle, our Piers Marchant discusses how what we know — and what we don’t know — about a movie beforehand shapes the way we receive it. And speaking of known unknowns, Owen Wilson and his family scramble to get out of some unnamed Southeast Asian country after a revolution breaks out in No Escape — and our Philip Martin tells you what to expect.

Martin also reviews the documentary Best of Enemies and the indie drama The Diary of a Teenage Girl, a period piece set in 1976 San Francisco. And, as always, Karen Martin has her weekly roundup of the best in home video.
