On the evening of Dec. 7, 2009, prominent Los Angeles attorney Jeffrey Tidus attended a charity event before returning to his home in the nearby wealthy community of Rolling Hills Estates, California.

There have been many heist movies. There have been movies focused around their propulsive, serpentine car chases. There have been movies driven forward by a furious, precise soundtrack. But never have these elements been combined in a way so brilliantly as they are in Baby Driver, the latest film by one of the greatest directors working today.
After four years Edgar Wright returns to the directing chair with Baby Driver. The film could best be described as Heat meets Drive in La La Land. Wright introduced the World Premiere at South By Southwest by describing the power of music and how he had the idea that one song could drive an entire movie. From that concept Baby Driver was born and it is a brilliant, thrilling ride.

TV’s take on New York City living is notoriously too good to be true. Monica and Rachel’s palatial apartment on Friends and Carrie Bradshaw’s gorgeous uptown spread are some of the most notorious offenders. But multiply that already unrealistic apartment by the inflation rates during a decade or two off the air, and you’re looking at a truly shocking rent check.

Keep up with the always-hopping film festival world with our weekly Film Festival Roundup column. Check out last week’s Roundup right here.
Full Lineup Announcements
– “3-D Auteurs,” a 19-day, 34-film festival spotlighting stereoscopic movies by some of history’s most distinguished directors, will run at Film Forum November 11 – 29. The festival spans 3-D’s earliest days (including some turn-of-the-century films by pioneer Georges Méliès) to the present, and represents virtually every genre, including Westerns, Film Noir, and Science Fiction. Hollywood’s first big 3-D craze (sometimes called 3-D’s “golden era”), intended to offset the threat of television, came in the early 1950s, with such movies as Hitchcock’s “Dial M For Murder,” André De Toth’s “House of Wax” and Jack Arnold’s “Creature From the Black Lagoon” (all included in the series).
Hollywood produced roughly 50 movies in the process from 1952 to 1954, before fizzling out and being overtaken by...
