    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…

    Alas “Gemini Man” has two times the Will Smith, and yet zero quality. Meanwhile “Pain and Glory” is for Artists with a capital A and Antonio Banderas gives an amazing performance in it. It’s really too bad given that “Gemini Man” is directed by Ang Lee (one of my favorite directors). The film is as…

    This week brings the gender swapped “What Men Want” which is a remake of the 2000 movie “What Women Want” starring Mel Gibson… If that isn’t a questionable starting point I don’t know what is. ​Taraji P. Henson does her best (I think/hope) in this remake, but the story itself doesn’t receive enough of an…
