Review: I’m Your Woman, Wild Mountain Thyme, The Prom, and Let Them All Talk

More about I’m Your Woman: Suburban housewife Jean (Rachel Brosnahan, “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel”) lives a seemingly easy life, supported by husband Eddie’s…

Review: Happiest Season, We Are the Champions, The Croods: A New Age, Uncle Frank , Superintelligence, and Hillbilly Elegy
A holiday weekend in the US brings a smorgasbord of viewing offerings but like with any feast some are delicious and some will leave you with indigestion.

Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, On the Rocks, Rebecca, The Witches, and Over the Moon
A bevy of films to review this week. Borat returns to the big screen for the first time in 14 years and it is as cringe (in a good way) as ever in Borat Subsequent Moviefilm. Sofia Coppola and Bill Murray reunite in On the Rocks but something of the spark got left in Lost…

The War with Grandpa, The Lie
The War with Grandpa wastes a perfectly good geriatric cast (led by Robert De Niro). The only scary thing about the Blumhouse film The Lie is how bad it is. More about The War with Grandpa: Sixth-grader Peter (Oakes Fegley) is pretty much your average kid-he likes gaming, hanging with his friends and his beloved…

The Glorias, A Call to Spy, The Boys in the Band, Emily in Paris
Lots to review this week: The Glorias brings Gloria Steinem’s stories to the screen. A Call to Spy tells an important story that deserves a better platform.

Chemical Hearts, Tesla, Boys State
Lots of streaming from home options this week with “Chemical Hearts” “Tesla” and “Boys State”. Unfortunately “Chemical Hearts” lacks heart – it’s like an AI wrote a script of what it thought would be marketable to teens. Lili Reinhart and Austin Abrams star. “Tesla” is an uninspired portrait of an inspiring figure. Ethan Hawke provides…

The Rental, Radioactive
Dave Franco’s directorial debut “The Rental” probably isn’t worth the price of a rental, and the Amazon Studios Marie Curie biopic “Radioactive” may cause fallout. More about The Rental: Two couples on an oceanside getaway grow suspicious that the host of their seemingly perfect rental house may be spying on them. Before long, what should have been a celebratory…
