A third sequel that shoots and scores. The “John Wick” franchise keeps getting better and better. When I first saw the original movie in 2014, I’ve never expected it to be this entertaining-the kind that helped revived Keanu Reeves’ career… Read More ›
This sequel lacks the laughs and superpowers of the original. It’s amazing to me that despite the fact that Billy Batson can switch back and forth from a human teen to an adult superhero by saying the words “Shazam,” he… Read More ›

This coked-up sequel isn’t how you spend the holidays. Why would “The Binge” require a holiday themed sequel? Because if “National Lampoon’s Vacation” got “Christmas Vacation,” and “Harold & Kumar” got “A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas,” and “Bad Moms”… Read More ›
One of the rare sequels to be as fresh as the original. I’ve seen both “Knives Out” movies at the Chicago International Film Festival, and I loved both of them. Each one, written and directed by Rian Johnson, offers Agatha… Read More ›
