Review: Come Away and Ammonite (Capsule)
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. More about Come Away: In this imaginative…

Review: First Cow, Palm Springs, and Mucho Mucho Amor
We finally have some highlights this summer with First Cow, Palm Springs, and Mucho Mucho Amor: The Legend of Walter Mercado! First Cow is a striking moment in time in the nineteenth century. Yes there is also actually a cow. Just watch it. Kelly Reichardt directs, John Magaro, Orion Lee, Ewen Bremner, Rene…

Review: The Half of It, Spaceship Earth, and How to Build a Girl
Streaming from home continues with the charming “The Half of It” and the less successful “Spaceship Earth” and “How to Build a Girl.” Netflix’s delightful “The Half of It” is a classic plot with a modern twist. It’s like Cyrano de Bergerac but in 2020 (so with people of color and a sexuality spectrum). Leah…

Review: Sonic the Hedgehog and Portrait of a Lady on Fire
Turns out the “Sonic the Hedgehog” movie isn’t as much of a train wreck as one would think, and “Portrait of a Lady on Fire” is one of the best films you’ll see this year. In spite of a teeth-tastic disaster first trailer, “Sonic the Hedgehog” pulled its act together to be a pretty fun…

Review: Terminator: Dark Fate, Motherless Brooklyn, and Parasite
Fan service, ego, and one of the best films I’ve seen all year. “Terminator: Dark Fate” “Motherless Brooklyn” and “Parasite are on deck for review this week. The biggest draw of “Terminator: Dark Fate” is the return of Linda Hamilton and Arnold Schwarzenegger to the franchise. That’s about it. The rest is formula. I did…

Review: Dumbo and The Beach Bum
This week brings the Tim Burton disaster “Dumbo” and the equally disappointing “The Beach Bum.” Why Disney decided to allow the remake of “Dumbo” I will never know. Colin Farrell, Danny DeVito, Eva Green, Michael Keaton, and Alan Arkin star. Then there’s the self indulgent madness trip that is “The Beach Bum” Matthew McConaughey, Isla…

The Post, I Tonya
The first review of the new year brings some award hopefuls. There’s “The Post” from Steven Spielberg and “I, Tonya” starring Margot Robbie. “The Post” boasts an impressive pedigree, with Spielberg directing, Meryl Streep, Tom Hanks, Sarah Paulson, Bob Odenkirk, Michael Stuhlbarg, Alison Brie, Bruce Greenwood and David Cross starring. However it feels like…

The Hitman’s Bodyguard, Ingrid Goes West
As summer winds down we have “The Hitman’s Bodyguard” starring Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson, as well as the social media centric “Ingrid Goes West” with Aubrey Plaza and Elizabeth Olsen. I was disappointed by “The Hitman’s Bodyguard” – with a cast like Reynolds, Jackson, Salma Hayek, and Gary Oldman, you’d think they’d be…
