This erotic thriller is the kind of flick that will make you ache for the days when you could hang out in the theater lobby afterwards and talk it out. Because while this one may or may not run deep, it’s fun enough to want to hash out, even if the fun in watching just skims the surface.
Amy Schumer’s new dramady is a bit of a mess. It should be. It’s about life. And, you know, Beth.
Matt Reeves has delivered The Batman we have earned. Bleak, yet hopeful, true to its origins while being very much of our times. And wait till you see that car chase!
Drawn from a popular action-adventure game series, it’s kind of surprising how old school this adaptation is. Settling into the well worn traditions of the Raiders, Mummy’s, and National Treasures, this one is only truly fun thanks to its very game cast.
Improbable, goofy and plucked from the playbook, there’s still something irresistible about this high gloss rom-com. And, for all the cutesy stuff begging for your approval, what really makes this one work is its undeniable star, Jennifer Lopez.
Based on quite the reality, this highly consumable miniseries is packed with surprises, not the least of which is its evolution into a feminist manifesto.
Woody Allen’s “newest”, a ruefully somewhat comic look at love and life in mid-age, has been sitting on a shelf, waiting out the pandemic, I suppose. No matter what the reason, this one still feels dusty and sad.
This historically based drama fits nicely on a home screen, compelling enough to heat up a cold winter’s night.
What could have been a somewhat interesting scientific journey, searching for a whale on its own in the vast seas, casts even wider ripples as it hits the screen today, during a time when so many of us feel cut off from our own, lonely and hungry for community.
What was probably a well intentioned distaff take on the standard spy action picture feels more like an adequate throwback. Not smart enough to be a satire, not convinced enough to come at us like the real thing. It’s somewhere in the middle. And, right now, for some, that might not be so terrible.
