Eli Roth’s next feature “The House With a Clock in its Walls” works wonders with its production design, sets, and some magic; but fails to provide anything special. As a kids movie […]
The House With a Clock in its Walls
A Simple Favor
Director Paul Feig of “Bridesmaids” fame has taken a lot of risks to make Darcey Bell’s hit novel “A Simple Favor” into a dark comedy. I’m not talking comedy in the form […]

The year’s worst comedy so far has arrived, and that happens to be “The Spy Who Dumped Me,” a spy spoof that shoots blanks. I’ve heard some laughs in the audience, but […]
