This vampire satire drinks some fresh blood. “El Conde” is the third vampire movie I have seen this year, after the charming “Renfield” and the boring “Last Voyage of the Demeter.” I’ve […]
El Conde
The Equalizer 3
Denzel Washington gives his hero a jumpstart in this likable (if sometimes gruesome) threequel. I discovered a word called “triaphilia,” which is the superstition that bad things come in threes. According to […]

Now these turtles are teenagers! This is coming from a film critic, who never grew up on “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,” but still knows they’re all named after famous painters. There’s Michelangelo, […]
