Kenneth Branagh’s version of “Murder on the Orient Express” isn’t as bad as NJ Transit, but it does make a little too many breaks. What I’m implying is that as well-acted as […]

Thor: Ragnarok
There’s a jolly tone in “Thor: Ragnarok” that reminds you of how entertaining and very funny “Guardians of the Galaxy” was. It’s nice to have a Sci-Fi franchise get a sense of […]
Only the Brave

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
Unlike “Star Trek: The Motion Picture,” “Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan” has a better look and a more clear script. Kristie Alley (“Cheers”) made her film debut as Saavik, the latest […]
