J. Lo runs out of bullets here. The latest Jennifer Lopez vehicle “The Mother” makes it to Netflix, the streaming site guaranteed to make it a hit, even though it doesn’t amount […]
The Mother
Hypnotic
A mind game that’s missing some brain cells. Robert Rodriguez’s latest movie “Hypnotic” has entered Hitchcock territory, especially since he was inspired by a restored widescreen re-release of “Vertigo.” It has a […]

Shazam: Fury of the Gods
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 […]
