An entertaining follow-up to “Searching,” if not equal to. “Missing” is the spiritual sequel to the 2018 breakout hit “Searching,” which told the story of a father searching for his teenage daughter […]
Missing
Plane
It’s just plane crazy fun. The last two Gerard Butler movies I’ve seen were “Greenland” and “Copshop,” which both knew how to have fun with their leading Scottish man. Now, we have […]

The Wonder
Florence Pugh excels as a doctor trying to figure out this starving kid. “The Wonder” is an Irish-themed drama that isn’t at the pure authenticity of “The Banshees of Inisherin,” but it […]
