You are now free to fight around the cabin. It’s probably never again when we see the hero fight assassins on an airplane with a chainsaw to the tune of Elvis Costello’s […]
Fight or Flight
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
These MCU anti-heroes kick some serious ass. There’s a scene later in “Thunderbolts” when Valentina De Fontaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) tells Yelena (Florence Pugh) she looks like “Sh*t.” If I were her, I […]
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 […]

The force is strong with this next season. Three years ago, we got the Disney+ series “Andor,” which was created by Tony Gilroy, and allowed Diego Luna to reprise his “Rogue One” […]

Warfare
Another war movie well worth your time. “Warfare” is the first collaboration between Alex Garland and a real-life former Navy SEAL named Ray Mendoza, as they both write and direct Mendoza’s memories […]
