    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…

    “Artemis Fowl” is foul, “7500” is stuck in the past, and “Babyteeth” will rattle you. Considering the amount of talent in “Artemis Fowl” on Disney +, the decent source material, and the big budget, it’s kind of amazing how badly they botched it up. Ferdia Shaw, Lara McDonnell, Judi Dench, Josh Gad, Nonso Anozie, Tamara…

    Streaming reviews this week with “The High Note” “The Vast of Night” and “The Great.”   While “The High Note” is a little more middling than a high, it is still a safe feel good movie (that I wish focused more on the career dilemmas it tackled than romance). Tracee Ellis Ross, Dakota Johnson, Ice…

    Up for review this week are: an incoherent “Capone” biopic, a timely digital concept with “Upload”, and hilariously vulgar aliens in “Solar Opposites.” “Capone” squanders the talents of Tom Hardy with a biopic as incoherent as the subject at the end of his life. Linda Cardellini, Matt Dillon, Noel Fisher, Kyle McLachlan, and Jack Lowden…

    Another week of quarantine so another week of streaming options, lots of unlikely team ups in “My Spy” and “Extraction” and some mindless fun with “The Midnight Gospel” and “Too Hot to Handle” on Netflix. You don’t have to be a government operative to see that not having to pay movie theater prices for “My…

    The most ambitious quarantine review yet, with 4 different options to watch from home: “Trolls World Tour” “Tigertail” “Selah and the Spades” and “The Other Lamb” – too bad none of them are exceptional. “Trolls World Tour” is a glorified technicolor animated music video with a lot of famous voices. Anna Kendrick, Justin Timberlake, Rachel…

    What’s up with Maine and crime? Character actress Margo Martindale is at it again in Amazon Studios “Blow the Man Down.” ​Crime, small towns, fish. This movie got a little overhyped for me but considering you have limited options these days it’s not a bad watch. Morgan Saylor, Sophie Lowe, June Squibb, Anette O’Toole, Marceline…

    Kristen Stewart tries her best to play “grown up actress” but to little avail in this Jean Seberg biopic. ​While it clearly wanted to be an awards contender, “Seberg” falls short and probably doesn’t do its subject justice. It attempts to tell the tale of actress Jean Seberg and her involvement in the Civil Rights…
