This Sundance Grand Jury Prize winner features a mother and son story like no other. “A Thousand and One” is a near perfect movie about how a parent from a bad background […]
A Thousand and One
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves
Magic & laughs and Pine & Rodriguez-all wacky & entertaining. Whether you hated the Marlon Wayans/Jeremy Irons version from 2000, or are a diehard fan of the board games, or if you’ve […]
John Wick: Chapter 4

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania
A threequel that needs less shrinking and more growing. I would hate to bore the people who are expecting my review of “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,” but I really must let […]
