Wes Anderson’s new movie sure has a lot of affairs to get in order. I think we can agree that Wes Anderson’s movies, whether they’re good, great, or mediocre, are whimsical and […]

Poker Face: Season 2
Natasha Lyonne is still one Hell of a sleuth. Rian Johnson’s “Poker Face” was my favorite TV show of 2023 because of the directions it took and the big stars who delivered […]
Another Simple Favor
Another fun murder mystery sequel. If you recall the last time “Simple Favor,” the dotty mom Stephanie Smothers (Anna Kendrick) exposes the missing mom Emily Nelson (Blake Lively) as a murderer on […]
Thunderbolts

Neighborhood Watch
It’s nice to see Quaid and Morgan playing an unlikely sleuth duo. Here are the two mismatched buddies that either Eddie Murphy and Nick Nolte or Mel Gibson and Danny Glover would […]
Havoc
Too much carnage can’t deliver here. “Havoc” is the new made-for-Netflix action thriller made by Gareth Evans, the same man who gave us the “Raid” movies. Those films were fun in the […]
The Accountant 2
This sequel gets its numbers right. I was one of the few film critics to enjoy “The Accountant” from 2016, which you may recall had Ben Affleck playing Christian Wolff, an autistic […]

The Alto Knights
Twice the De Niro should have been twice as good. For the first time in his acting career, Robert De Niro has a dual role in “The Alto Knights,” the latest reunion […]
Daredevil: Born Again
An entertaining Disney+ series where Daredevil tries to handle crime the legal way but goes back to vigilantism. I’ve heard the Marvel superhero Daredevil through the 2003 Ben Affleck movie, and I […]
