Christmas season is all about watching movies about family gatherings, which makes “Happiest Season” ideal for the occasion. It’s not perfect by any means, but it has enough charm and just the right actors to carry it through. Mackenzie Davis plays a young woman who agrees to bring […]
Want to spend some time with a dysfunctional family? Probably not. But get this: even when it goes off the rails, “Hillbilly Elegy” features a pair of terrific performances that are worth the price of admission alone (don’t believe the critics, the film isn’t all that bad either). […]
You can think of Sofia Coppola’s “On The Rocks” as an old-fashioned star vehicle, tailor-made for Bill Murray’s larger than life persona. As such, it’s so easy to watch and lightly enjoyable, despite a paper-thin story. Rashida Jones plays a married woman who is almost convinced that her […]
Let’s address the elephant in the room right away: this version of Daphe Du Maurier’s classic book is stylish and well-shot, but it’s nowhere near as good or memorable as Alfred Hitchcock’s 1940 masterpiece (which won an Oscar for Best Picture and propelled Hitch to Hollywood stardom). So […]
In a year plagued with uncertainties, the last thing I expected to see was a sequel to 2006’s hit “Borat”. But here’s the thing: when he’s not being a complete goofball, Sacha Baron Cohen’s character tackles subjects that couldn’t be more relevant in today’s society, from the US […]

Woah. I never expected to see Bill & Ted again, but here we are. In the midst of all the chaos the world is going through, Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter offer a tiny bit of hope as they reprise their 1980’s characters that made them famous. “Face […]
Joseph Gordon-Levitt is on a plane. He plays a young American co-pilot who finds himself dealing with terrorists when his flight from Berlin to Paris is hijacked. Sounds familiar? That’s because you’ve seen movies like “7500” so many times before, from “Turbulence” and “Air Force One” in the […]
As someone who admired 1950’s B Sci-Fi films for so long, I thought “The Vast Of Night” was a fitting tribute to a bygone era that still entertains audiences even in 2020. Directed by Andrew Patterson and starring Sierra McCormick and Jake Horowitz, “The Vast Of Night” tells […]
This polish thriller currently streaming on Netflix juggles a lot of ideas at once, and at 135 minutes, it can be a bit too much, but it’s not a complete waste. In fact, it’s still entirely watchable, thanks to a solid performance by Maciej Musialowski, who plays a […]
