    This week brings the Natalie Portman vehicle “Vox Lux” and a long overdue review of Spike Lee’s “BlacKkKlansman.” ​Don’t be fooled by the publicity imagery of “Vox Lux” it’s no “Black Swan” though it does feature Natalie Portman dancing (just far less elegantly). Sadly her talents are somewhat squandered in this film, though Raffey Cassidy…

    This holiday weekend brings several films vying for your time and money, including the latest “Robin Hood” remake, “Ralph Breaks the Internet” and “Green Book.” “Robin Hood” should have been a starring vehicle for Taron Egerton but ends up being a medieval hot mess instead.

    Unless you were living under a rock this summer, you probably saw Disney Pixar’s Incredibles 2. In doing so you were treated to a delightful (though surreal) short called Bao. While many were excited for the return of their favorite superhero family, I found myself more amped for those 8 magical minutes that preceded the feature, and here’s why.…

Starring Rami Malek, Lucy Boynton,…
