With or without Adam Sandler, this franchise conclusion still isn’t for the adults. It makes sense that “Hotel Transylvania: Transformania” gets pushed to Amazon Prime, instead of a movie theater, because it’s […]
Hotel Transylvania: Transformania
The Matrix Resurrections
The John Wick hairstyle doesn’t take away the nostalgia and visual appeal in the Matrix. In “The Matrix Resurrections,” when Keanu Reeves isn’t in the Matrix, he looks like Neo, but when […]
Spider-Man: No Way Home
The best of the three MCU Spider-Mans (just to clarify) has nostalgia, laughs, and emotions. When we last saw Tom Holland’s Peter Parker, the Jake Gyllenhaal villain Mysterio not only framed Spider-Man […]

Home Sweet Home Alone
The reboot nobody asked for is just as bad as you’d expect. Here’s the setup of “Home Sweet Home Alone.” A fat English kid living in America begs to use the bathroom […]

This worthy sequel continues the young filmmaker’s story of ambition, loss, and life. In the tradition of sequels to independent features like “Before Sunrise” and “Clerks,” “The Souvenir” joins the club with […]
Halloween Kills
This sequel goes for the kill, but misses the target. How is Michael Myers able to survive the fire at the end of the previous “Halloween” entry? Three things: 1: We didn’t […]
No Time to Die
It’s worth the wait to see Daniel Craig playing James Bond one last time. It’s about bloody damn time, if you ask me. “No Time to Die,” which is the last 007 […]
Venom: Let There Be Carnage
It’s better than the first, which isn’t saying much. I’ve said “Venom” was “a mean-spirited and noisy debacle with unlikable characters, bad special effects, pointless violence, and no plot. It ranks with […]
