    “Ford V Ferrari” is an awfully slow movie for a film about cars that go so fast. Do we really need ANOTHER film about the unsung niche accomplishments of straight white men? My answer is no. Matt Damon, Christian Bale, Jon Bernthal Caitriona Balfe, Tracy Letts, Josh Lucas, and Noah Jupe star. James Mangold directs.

    It’s sad and mad Brad in “Ad Astra” and the question of “what is a weekend?” still doesn’t get resolved in “Downton Abbey.” It’s sad Brad Pitt in space. That pretty much sums up “Ad Astra” so if that sounds appealing have at. I however found it unoriginal and dull. Pitt, Ruth Negga, Liv Tyler,…

    How can a movie starring two funny people be so horrifically bland? “Stuber” aims to find out! ​ It’s such a shame that “Stuber” is a bummer because the two leads, Kumail Nanjiani and Dave Bautista, are pretty dang good together. Which means the entire rest of the film is working against them? The film…

    This week brings a disappointing end to 20 years of the X-Men on the big screen in “X-Men: Dark Phoenix” and a somewhat sanitized portrait of San Francisco in “The Last Black Man in San Francisco.” ​ In spite of all the star power attached to “X-Men: Dark Phoenix” the film is dull at best.…

    While “Alita: Battle Angel” is being billed as an “Avatar”-esque epic, it falls so robotically short it’s not even funny. ​Produced by James Cameron and Jon Landau, and directed by Robert Rodriguez, “Alita” is an adaptation of a Manga. While it may avoided the uncanny valley, but it also avoids logic and fun. Rosa Salazar,…

    Rami Malek and Joe Mazzello chat with THEDHK about their roles as Queen band members Freddie Mercury and John Deacon in “Bohemian Rhapsody.” Filmed at the Castro Theater in San Francisco.  More about the film: Bohemian Rhapsody is a foot-stomping celebration of Queen, their music and their extraordinary lead singer Freddie Mercury. Freddie defied stereotypes…

    I sat down with VFX Supervisor Joe Letteri and Mocap actor Andy Serkis (aka Gollum/Caesar/Kong) to discuss bringing Caesar and the apes to life in War for the Planet of the Apes. Thank you to SFFilm for putting on the program.

    ​It’s finally a good week at the movies, with very impressive VFX bonanza (banana-za?) “War for the Planet of the Apes” and the incredibly heartfelt and heartwarming “The Big Sick.” “War for the Planet of the Apes” is the third in the Apes reboot from Fox, and it’s one of the few series that has…

    ​This week’s (spoiler free as long as you haven’t watched an interview with Hugh Jackman in the last year) review is “Logan” which is the last of the Wolverine solo films, and oh what a film it is.  James Mangold absolutely redeems himself for “The Wolverine” (which he did not write, so I assume that…
