Movie Review

Grade: B Warren Beatty and Diane Keaton star in what is probably one of the more critically acclaimed movies I had never heard of before. Reds, out on DVD for the first time, was nominated for 12 Oscars back in 1981 and won for Best Director, among a couple others. While well acted and well done, Reds is not the powerhouse I expected it to be.
