Movie Preview: “Avengers: Been There, Done That,” aka “Avengers: Doomsday”
Dec. 26. Which means youve got a whole year to get worked up over this revival.
Movie Preview: Mandy Moore has to be “The Breadwinner” as she’s married to Nate Bargatz
“Clean” stand-up comic of the moment Bargatz gets top billing (LOL) in this family-friendly and seemingly dated comedy about role-reversal in “provider” terms in one household in an economy shoved into a death spiral. This could be cute, even if … Continue reading
Netflixable? Danish Dame goes “Mango” for a Man in Málaga
“Mango” is a tepid Hispano-Danish romance set in and in the hills above the resort city of Málaga on Spain’s celebrated Costa del Sol. Rigidly formulaic and strictly low-heat as far as romances go, I’m guessing you can guess every turn … Continue reading
Movie Review: Don Johnson REALLY wants what’s in storage “Unit 234”
It’s got a “name” or used to be “name” cast, a compact setting, a twisty plot and the director of “Sweet Home Alabama” behind the camera. “Unit 234” has the makings of a gritty B-movie that makes the most of … Continue reading

Riz Ahmed stars in this new re-imagining of “Hamlet,” with royal Danish intrigues replaced by South Asian familial strife. We’ve had mob “Macbeths” and Samurai “Lears” and Sydney Sweeney/Glen Powell “Much Ados.” “Tempest” has journeyed to “Forbidden Planet,” and on … Continue reading
Movie Review: What Makes “Marty Supreme?”
New York filmmaker Josh Safdie has his fans, and I’ve been one of them at times. At other times? Not so much. He does underbelly-of-the-city stories well. “Good Time” was something of a reinvention of the possibilities of Robert Pattinson. … Continue reading

Movie Review: “Song Sung Blue” Weepin’ in My Popcorn
Sing-along songs are musical comfort food, and any songsmith, singer or singer-songwriter can count him or herself lucky if they stumble into one in the course of a career. Musical biographies are the cinema’s equivalent of such comfort food, and … Continue reading
