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 […]
Smokey and the Bandit
In honor of Burt Reynolds (1936-2018), here is my review of “Smokey and the Bandit.” “Baby Driver” was a first-rate driving movie in 2017, and it’s very rare to find a movie […]

Spike Lee’s next joint, “BlacKkKlansman,” is a gripping and comical representation on race wars in the 1970s and even some of the ones we still face today. It’s unbelievable in the ways […]
The Spy Who Dumped Me
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 […]
Christopher Robin
For my two honey pots, I actually enjoyed “Christopher Robin” more than “Goodbye Christopher Robin” from last year. Mainly because we see the grown-up Christopher Robin and his reunion with his stuffed […]
