    I had the chance to attend Pixar’s famous biennial car show, Motorama, and to sit down with the filmmakers behind “Cars 3.” Director Brian Fee, Producer Kevin Reher, Co-Producer Andrea Warren, Directing Animator Jude Brownbill and Production Designer Jay Shuster all discuss a bevy of Cars 3 inspired questions.

    ​This week’s film is the family friendly “Cars 3” which offers both high speed thrills and some much needed female empowerment. “Cars 3” marks the return of Owen Wilson as Lightning McQueen and Larry the Cable Guy as Tow Mater. More importantly it marks the introduction of Cristela Alonzo as Cruz Ramirez and Armie Hammer…

    Zoe Lister-Jones is not just a hyphenate in name, but in talent. She wrote, directed, produced, and stars in “Band Aid” which was a delightful and thoughtful film with great music.

    ​Summer is heating up in the volume of releases, unfortunately “The Mummy” starring Tom Cruise is more of a wet blanket. “My Cousin Rachel” and “Band Aid” are thankfully more refreshing. I’m not sure what Universal is intending with their kickoff to their Dark Universe, but having Tom Cruise headline “The Mummy” as their initial…

    ​After 76 years “Wonder Woman” finally hits the big screen! The stakes could not have been higher for Diana of Themyscira’s first full length feature film. Thankfully in the hands of Patty Jenkins and Gal Gadot, “Wonder Woman” delights. I don’t care if you’re a man, woman, or muppet, you should see this film. It’s…

    It’s a nautical Memorial Day weekend in store, unfortunately they are both shipwrecks. Prepare for lots of water themed jokes. My beloved Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Zac Efron lead the Baywatch squad. In spite of their individual charm, and a ton of slow motion, Baywatch is a flop. Alexandra Daddario, Kelly Rohrbach, and Ilfenesh…

    ​This week brings Ridley Scott’s latest foray back into the world of “Alien” as well as the umpteenth retelling of the Arthurian legend from director Guy Ritchie. “Alien: Covenant” is a Fassbender fest for which I am grateful. Though it’s a sequel to a prequel (yes I’m scratching my head at that too) it holds…

    ​This week brings “Wakefield” or as I call it, “Midlife Crisis: The Movie.” Based on the short story for The New Yorker by acclaimed novelist E. L. Doctorow and directed/adapted by Robin Swicord (“The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” “Memoirs of a Geisha” “Matilda”), the film is a sluggish portrait of a descent into madness. …

    In a different universe this would be “Talks at Hooli” – this is by far the most surreal Talk I’ve ever hosted. The cast were wonderful! From left to right: Martin Starr, Zach Woods, Amanda Crew, Kumail Nanjiani, Thomas Middleditch, Dana Han-Klein
