Blockbusters were a surprising bust and we saw a lot of great movies in the animation and indie fields.

Tragedy struck again yesterday, when it was reported that the great Gene Wilder had passed away. He was one of the finest comedic actors we ever had. His combination of his dry, quick one-liners and gift for the art of acting made him a staple in the 70’s and an icon. In honor of the great actor, here are my favorite Gene Wilder movies. 5 – HEAR NO EVIL, SEE NO EVIL (Arthur Hiller,…
