    How can so many talented and famous people decide to be in such a terrible film such as “Dolittle”? One assumes the answer is “Money”. ​Robert Downey Jr. brings no joy or reinvention to the role of Dr. Dolittle. In spite of a supporting cast of Emma Thompson, Tom Holland, John Cena, Selena Gomez, Rami…

    Two award contenders and one Christ complex hit the cinemas this week with “Just Mercy” “1917” and “Three Christs.” While the subject matter of the based on a true story “Just Mercy” is important and relevant, the film relies on it a bit too much to make the audience care. Michael B. Jordan, Jamie Foxx,…

    As the year winds down we have two polar opposite but equally bizarre films in “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker” and “Cats.” It doesn’t really matter what I say in this spoiler free review of “Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker” because there’s no way you aren’t going to see the end of the Skywalker…

    Unfortunately even the great Emma Thompson can’t stretch George Michael’s Christmas song into a feature length film. In spite of the charming cast of Emilia Clarke, Henry Golding, Michelle Yeoh, and Thompson herself (as well as the directing efforts of Paul Feig), “Last Christmas” is a convoluted bizarro mess. I went in expecting “Love, Actually”…

    The Seth Rogen produced “Good Boys” has a surprising amount of heart, but don’t worry, it’s still gross. ​I was pleasantly surprised by a lot of the approach “Good Boys” took to the material it covered. In lesser hands a film about sixth graders getting up to hijinks would be much more grating. It stars…

    “Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw” feels more like an after school special than an action flick. ​In spite of my affection for Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Jason Statham, the two of them don’t quite click in this Fast & Furious spinoff. Dwayne Johnson, Jason Statham, Idris Elba, Vanessa Kirby, Eiza Gonzales, Roman…

    While “Yesterday” movie is a fun summer film, it’s not going to have the timelessness of it’s source material, The Beatles. ​Jack Malik is a struggling singer-songwriter in an English seaside town whose dreams of fame are rapidly fading, despite the fierce devotion and support of his childhood best friend, Ellie. After a freak bus…

    Jordan Peele is back in action with the terrifying “Us” and then there’s the utterly skippable pseudo-tech thriller “The Hummingbird Project.” Jordan Peele continues to prove he’s a master of the horror genre with his follow up to “Get Out” – “Us.” It stars Lupita Nyong’o, Winston Duke, Elisabeth Moss, and Tim Heidecker. ​Meanwhile “The…

    The long awaited final film in M. Night Shyamalan’s trilogy is here and it is about as fun as eating broken glass… While it finally unites Bruce Willis, Jame McAvoy, and Samuel L Jackson, the reunion is a less than interesting one with a messy and convoluted plot. If you’ve been anticipating this for a…
