Sigourney Weaver wins you over through her highs (Kevin Kline) and lows (drinking). Husband-and-wife filmmakers Wallace Wolodarsky and Maya Forbes (both behind “Infinitely Polar Bear”) guide Sigourney Weaver in one of her […]
The Good House
Entergalactic
A Kid Cudi animated trip to remember “Entergalactic” is a made-for-Netflix animated film with a similar quality to “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse,” with its NYC setting and its combination of computer animation […]
Bros
A gay romcom to laugh and fall in love with. I may be a straight film critic, but that doesn’t mean I can’t show my respect for gay people. I’ve known some […]

Meet Cute
Time Traveling romcom kills too many butterflies. I’ve dealt with two fantasy comedies this year where something magical happens to a woman who goes into a tanning bed. In “Mack & Rita,” […]

See How They Run
A goofy and deadpan (if not brilliant) Agatha Christie spoof. In “See How They Run,” Sam Rockwell stars as the weary Inspector Stoppard, who is sent into action to investigate the murder […]

Kevin Smith goes back to his roots in hilarious and heartbreaking ways. I’ve met Kevin Smith twice in my life, and his original “Clerks” stars “Brian O’Halloran, Jeff Anderson, and Jason Mewes, […]
Pinocchio (Disney+)
Yet another unnecessary live-action Disney remake. There have been many attempts to top the original 1940 Disney animated classic “Pinocchio,” which was taken from Carlo Collodi’s story, and many have tried and […]
