A good-hearted, but familiar and soapy drama that gets the horns. “The Last Rodeo” has its heart in the right place regarding family and fame, and how life tries to find the […]
The Last Rodeo
Nora
Anna Campbell should give the screenplay more lyrics. “Nora” is a really small movie that has a much better character study and consistency than what The Weeknd provided for us in “Hurry […]
Summer of ‘69

Havoc
Too much carnage can’t deliver here. “Havoc” is the new made-for-Netflix action thriller made by Gareth Evans, the same man who gave us the “Raid” movies. Those films were fun in the […]
