This DCEU sequel drowns in its own dampness. This has been a very bad year for the DCEU. “Shazam: Fury of the Gods,” “The Flash,” and “Blue Beetle” have all bombed miserably […]
Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom
Rebel Moon-Part One: A Child of Fire
Zack Snyder’s worst movie in years has just gotten started. If “Jupiter Ascending,” both versions of “Dune” (the bad and the great), and “Star Wars” had an orgy, and one of them […]
Poor Things
A visionary and comical wonder from Yorgos Lanthimos. Some people would like to consider the visual style “Poor Things” in the tradition of Tim Burton. They’re probably right, but I was also […]
The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes
An overlong prequel that hits the notes but misses the targets. When you hear Rachel Zegler’s singing voice, you know she has a gift, especially when she became a revelation in “West […]

Gareth Edwards’ latest Sci-Fi movie has plenty of life and thrills. Last weekend, and I’m sure you’re all thinking it, I was bored out of the action sequel “Expend4bles.” All of us […]
They Live
A John Carpenter guilty pleasure turns 35. I experienced John Carpenter’s 1988 cult film “They Live” for the first time the other day, and I must say it is iconic. The kind […]
Ahsoka
Rosario Dawson uses the force with attitude and style. Ahsoka Tano is the former Jedi Padawan and apprentice to Anakin Skywalker. You know, before he went to the Dark Side and became […]
Landscape with Invisible Hand
Close Encounters of the Smart but Ugly Kind. Last week, I reviewed “Jules,” which was a dramedy with Ben Kingsley finding an alien that crash lands on his flowers. Even though it […]
Blue Beetle
Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue. I like to review the new DC action movie “Blue Beetle” in a percentage format. 50% of it works, while 50% doesn’t, and I […]
