A fistful of wasted dollars is unforgiven here. There’s a scene in “The Old Way” when an autistic girl (at least we believe she’s on the spectrum) tells her father she doesn’t […]
The Old Way
Plane
It’s just plane crazy fun. The last two Gerard Butler movies I’ve seen were “Greenland” and “Copshop,” which both knew how to have fun with their leading Scottish man. Now, we have […]
The Pale Blue Eye
Now, this is a detective Christian Bale period piece. After labeling “Amsterdam” as the worst film of 2022, here’s Christian Bale in a much better murder mystery known as “The Pale Blue […]
Puss in Boots: The Last Wish
A near purr-fect animated sequel with great visuals and amazing stars. “Puss in Boots: The Last Wish” is not only the sequel to the 2011 animated hit, which was inspired by Antonio […]
Avatar: The Way of Water
Well than worth the wait. Seeing “Avatar: The Way of Water” on a Dolby 3D screen is an unbelievable experience. James Cameron assembles the right team of filmmakers and artists to allow […]
Violent Night
Up on the housetop like John Wick, down came the chimney with Die Hard St. Nick. I skip such horror films like “Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey” and “The Mean One,” […]
Emancipation
A decent action film with a lead who deserves another chance. As you know, at the Oscars when Chris Rock made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith being cast in “G.I. Jane […]
Darby and the Dead
This ghost whisperer is likable, but her latest client annoys you to death. If Darby can act as a counselor for dead people who need to settle some unfinished business, then she […]
Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio
Eye-popping stop-motion visuals and grade-A voices never lie. Two versions of “Pinocchio” have been released this year. Robert Zemeckis’ live-action remake of the 1940 Disney animated classic, which was condescending and unnecessary […]
Decision to Leave
A riveting mystery about an insomniac detective and the woman who could be bad. I regret not reviewing the new South Korean opus “Decision to Leave” sooner, because like “Aftersun,” I wasn’t […]
