This malfunctioning android has the right iOS once you get to know him. I met Zach Galifianakis just as he was beginning to make a name for himself, coming on his hilarious success in “The Hangover.” But as his career… Read More ›
Adventure
Dune (2021)
This Sci-Fi epic story gets the cinematic experience the 1984 version didn’t. I viewed David Lynch’s 1984 take on Frank Herbert’s book “Dune,” which had Kyle MacLachlan, Virginia Madsen, and Patrick Stewart, among others, and I must say as much… Read More ›
No Time to Die
It’s worth the wait to see Daniel Craig playing James Bond one last time. It’s about bloody damn time, if you ask me. “No Time to Die,” which is the last 007 movie to star Daniel Craig, is finally coming… Read More ›
Kate
Netflix’s 24 Hours to Live thriller misfires. The set-up for “Kate” sounds flimsy. Mary Elizabeth Winstead plays an assassin, who gets poisoned and has 24 hours to live, which should give her enough time to find her killer before she… Read More ›

Vivo
Lin-Manuel Miranda’s colorful animated musical learns to be flexible. Lin-Manuel Miranda is one of the most fearless musical actors on stage and screen. From “Hamilton” to “In The Heights” to “Mary Poppins Returns,” he’s made a name for himself. Now,… Read More ›
The Suicide Squad
This DC sequel flips off the original. The original DC action film “Suicide Squad” from 2016 was a missed opportunity, in which writer/director David Ayer tried to channel in on the success of James Gunn’s “Guardians of the Galaxy” from… Read More ›
The Green Knight
A lean, mean, and green portrayal of a medieval tale. “The Green Knight” is A24’s fantasy retelling of medieval story of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, and stars Dev Patel as the young knight, who manages to chop off… Read More ›
Jungle Cruise
Not even the charming leads could keep their boat from sinking. “Jungle Cruise” is based on the Disneyland ride, which was inspired by “The African Queen,” the one film that gave Humphrey Bogart his Oscar. This film version stars Dwayne… Read More ›
