This drowns in its own behaviors and cliches. Chris Pine’s directorial debut of “Poolman” is supposed to serve as a comedic love letter to “Chinatown” and many of the great movie mysteries […]
Poolman
Unfrosted
An unfunny mess, part of an incomplete breakfast. I want to make a very important distinction. Jerry Seinfeld is one of the most brilliant comedians that the entertainment world has to offer. […]
The Fall Guy
As the stuntman, Ryan Gosling can sure take a hit. When TV-to-movie transitions go wrong (“The Dukes of Hazzard,” “Wild Wild West,” “Baywatch,” “The Beverly Hillbillies,” etc.), they can get degrading. But […]

Stress Positions

Abigail
A satisfyingly bloody ballet recital. I’m pretty sure the man sitting in front of me at the “Abigail” screening has seen “Ready or Not,” because he was making arm movements when he […]
The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare
Give it up for these bad ass men and woman killing Nazis! Even though certain elements are fictionalized (because they have to be), Guy Ritchie’s “The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare” is said […]
Sasquatch Sunset
Silly, twisted humor and hairy disguises make this Bigfoot tale interesting. We’ve stories about the legend of Bigfoot. We’ve seen photographs of him walking. We’ve even seen movies like “Harry and the […]

The People’s Joker
The Clown Prince of Crime becomes the Clown Trans of Comedy. Who says there can’t be a gay superhero or supervillain in the superhero world? Who says no one would have the […]
