Another fun murder mystery sequel. If you recall the last time “Simple Favor,” the dotty mom Stephanie Smothers (Anna Kendrick) exposes the missing mom Emily Nelson (Blake Lively) as a murderer on […]
Another Simple Favor
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 […]
The Accountant 2
This sequel gets its numbers right. I was one of the few film critics to enjoy “The Accountant” from 2016, which you may recall had Ben Affleck playing Christian Wolff, an autistic […]

The Rule of Jenny Pen
A brilliant idea for a horror movie set in a nursing home. “The Rule of Jenny Pen” likes to follow in a tradition of different kinds of horror films, ones that involve […]
Rounding
This well-intended horror drama needs better medical treatment. “Rounding” was made in between the releases of “Saint Frances” and “Ghostlight,” which were co-directed by Alex Thompson. Maybe that’s why this movie is […]

This movie wants to drink our blood. The last Eggers movie I saw was made by Robert Eggers’ brothers Sam and Max, and called “The Front Room.” I thought it was an […]
Woman of the Hour
Congratulations Anna Kendrick! Your date (and directorial debut) is a killer! Anna Kendrick makes her directorial debut of “Woman of the Hour,” the latest Netflix crime drama inspired by the life of […]
