    David Copperfield is far from magic (yes we know it’s a different David Copperfield). In spite of a stellar cast Armando Iannucci’s The Personal History of David Copperfield fails to make the Dickens classic widely watchable. Guy Pearce tries to give an artistic rendering of a World War 2 art crime thriller in The Last…

  • Come Away, Ammonite (Capsule) – 26

    We wish Come Away would go away as it’s one of the worst movies we’ve seen all year (and that’s saying something). Also a brief FYI that Ammonite is out in theaters but will be on streaming Dec 4 – it’s worth a watch but with tempered expectations. Listen on Apple Podcasts More about Come…

  • Let Him Go, Holidate – 24

    More reviews this week: You should absolutely not go to Let Him Go and unfortunately you also probably shouldn’t make a date with Holidate on Netflix (which feels like it was sponsored by a mall lobbyist group). Listen on Apple Podcasts More about Let Him Go Following the loss of their son, retired sheriff George…

  • The War with Grandpa, The Lie – 13

    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. Listen on Apple Podcasts More about The War with Grandpa Sixth-grader Peter (Oakes Fegley) is pretty much your average kid-he likes gaming, hanging with his…

  • The Glorias, A Call to Spy, The Boys in the Band, Emily in Paris – 11

    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 The Boys in the Band brings a probably outdated play to the screen but doesn’t take advantage of the increased flexibility.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…

  • Enola Holmes, The Devil All the Time, Ottolenghi and the Cakes of Versailles – 9

    Enola Holmes is a charming headlining debut for Millie Bobby Brown. The Devil All the Time is a star studded back woods thriller, that while disjointed, was still watchable. Ottolenghi and the Cakes of Versailles tries to jam too many flavors into one cinematic recipe.  Listen on Apple Podcasts More about Enola Holmes While searching…

  • Antebellum, Kajillionaire, The Way I See It – 7

    Antebellum delivers sloppy “horror” if you can even call it that, Kajillionaire is full of “characters” and The Way I See It is a timely look back at what it was like to have a real President of the United States (through the lens of Obama White House photographer, Pete Souza). Listen on Apple Podcasts…

    IFC Midnight’s Rent-a-Pal has surprising warm (but then delivers on the weird). You also should absolutely be watching The Boys on Amazon Prime Video and The Vow on HBO. Listen on Apple Podcasts More about Rent-a-Pal Set in 1990, a lonely bachelor named David (Brian Landis Folkins) searches for an escape from the day-to-day drudgery…

    While Mulan should have come out in theaters – it’s probably worth a stream, meanwhile this review thinks The New Mutants shouldn’t have come out at all. Listen on Apple Podcasts More about Mulan Acclaimed filmmaker Niki Caro brings the epic tale of China’s legendary warrior to life in Disney’s “Mulan,” in which a fearless…

    Bringing out this interview with Ming-Na Wen from the archives in preparation for the 2020 release of Mulan on Disney+. Filmed at the Entertainment Weekly 2018 Comic-Con Bash. Little did I know at the time how relevant her answer about Star Wars would be. Her episode of The Mandalorian was somehow one of my favorites…
