    Ready for our top films of 2022? These are a snapshot of some of our favorite films of the year. Important to note that they are representative of what was available in 2022. Does that mean they’ll stand the test of time (or even the test of looking back next December)? That remains to be…

    Zack Snyder + zombies = formulaic fun? in Army of the Dead. Eric Bana in The Dry is a relatively dry thriller. Plus yes Dream Horse is the real name of a movie that is not aimed at children. More about Army of the Dead: Following a zombie outbreak in Las Vegas, a group of…

    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. The Boys in the Band brings a probably outdated play to the screen but doesn’t take advantage of the increased flexibility. Emily in Paris is an escapist dream…

    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…
