Movie Review: “Land of Wolves,” Thriller of Cliches
Lordy, not another thriller about men forced to fight to the death for the amusement of the masked ultra-rich, in this case labeled “Illuminati.” That wasn’t a novel notion when “Star Trek” served it up on TV back in the … Continue reading
Movie Review: “Toy Story 5” is all Message, Little Fun
My least favorite “Toy Story” movie takes a solid hour to deliver its first laugh and some 70 minutes to truly get underway. “Toy Story 5” tells a tale from three different points of view, with three storylines, and hammers … Continue reading

Movie Review: “The Death of Robin Hood,” Who wants to See That?
Here it is, the latest “Robin Hood” that nobody asked for and perhaps nobody wanted, something that’s been the case ever since Russell Crowe dragged some merry men into Sherwood sixteen years back. Michael Sarnoski’s “The Death of Robin Hood” … Continue reading

James Cromwell’s long run at the top of the A-list of in-demand supporting actors began with a story of a sheep farmer, his dogs and a pig named “Babe” back in 1995. He landed a prime role in “L.A. Confidential” … Continue reading
Netflixable? Dios Mio! Dazzling “I Am Frankelda” loses the Plot
The cotton tufts of simulated fog that roll into the stop-motion animated terrors of “I Am Frankelda” can resemble hands of the damned frantically reaching up from the depths of whatever lies below. Vividly-colored sets filled with whimsical human (ish) … Continue reading

Movie Review: Douglas and Morse reminisce about Belize, “Looking Through Water”
The best most screen actors can hope for in their dotage is roles that don’t embarrass or seem beneath them. The lucky ones land a decent scripted series or a challenging supporting role on the big screen. But too many … Continue reading

Movie Review: “The Million Dollar Bet” is doomed to Never Pay Off
Here’s your one sentence pitch for “The Million Dollar Bet.” A doesn’t-sweat-anything gambler talks “friends” into betting him that he can’t run 70 miles in 24 hours — in Vegas — with a sandstorm bearing down on Sin City. You’ve … Continue reading
Movie Review: This “Tuner” has an Ear for Safecracking
It’s built around a methodical, arcane and dying artistic profession set in a digitized, short-attention span world. There’s a love story whose backdrop is the classical music where virtuosos practice their art, and piano tuners practice theirs. And a heist … Continue reading
