A nationwide war zone in a full throttle movie. Alex Garland’s latest movie “Civil War” is like watching a vision of the future. If the world keeps up with all the violence […]
Civil War
The Greatest Hits
Not a broken record, just a good-hearted time travel movie. Two years ago, I wasn’t a fan of the made-for-Peacock movie “Meet Cute,” which had Kaley Cuoco playing a woman desperate to […]
Wicked Little Letters

Sleeping Dogs
Russell Crowe can’t solve this formulaic mystery. Last week, I reviewed “Knox Goes Away,” a small-time thriller with Michael Keaton as a contact killer suffering from dementia. Even though I didn’t go […]
