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.
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!
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.

Guillermo del Toro’s remake of the 1940’s film noir is appropriately creepy. It’s also weirdly cold, which, sadly, neutralizes the whole damn thing.
A wonderful Cooper Hoffman brings his own charm and great timing to Gary, still evoking memories of his late, great father, who, of course, worked with Anderson.
Lin-Manuel Miranda’s adaptation of Jonathan Larson’s autobiographical musical is a love letter to the theater kid in all of us.
