August 5-11: THE DUKE with Helen Mirren & Jim Broadbent opens! Everything Everywhere AAO EXTENDED CUT! MAD GOD is "one of the year's best" and more!

The much-anticipated final movie of director Roger Michell has arrived and critics and audiences love it!

In 1961, Kempton Bunton, a 60-year old taxi driver, stole Goya's portrait of the Duke of Wellington from the National Gallery in London. It was the first (and remains the only) theft in the Gallery's history. Kempton sent ransom notes saying that he would return the painting on condition that the government invested more in care for the elderly -- he had long campaigned for pensioners to receive free television. What happened next became the stuff of legend.
