Movie Preview: “Final Destination: Bloodlines”
I always liked the “Final Destination” movies, with their obsession with coincidence and “death’s grand design” that seals your fate, especially if you’re young and you’ve somehow dodged a bullet. Or fatal plane crash or lumber truck accident. “Bloodlines” will … Continue reading

Movie Preview: “The Last Days of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette” — “The Deluge”
As this French Revolution tale stars Melanie Laurent and Guillaume Canet, one would hope an American distributor would jump on this title. It’s finished its festival run and is about to hit French cinemas. Sooner or later, North America will … Continue reading

Movie Preview: “M3GAN 2.0”
Nothing like an upgrade, amIright? The horror audience has been mostly AWOL for the past year. “Nosferatu” blew up, but “Presence” and “Companion” are far more indicative of the malaise that has set in with fans of that genre. Tepid … Continue reading

Movie Review: It’s a wedding, and Reese, Celia, Meredith, Geraldine and Will say “You’re Cordially Invited,” Y’all
“Commitment” is a cornerstone of the marriage contract. And it’s damned important in a romantic comedy about marriages as well. Say this for the cast of writer-director Nicholas Stoller’s “You’re Cordially Invited.” These kids — and Will Ferrell and Reese … Continue reading
