Neflixable? “Enola Homes 3” Beats a Dead Horse
The bare minimum you expect from a sleuthing action comedy of the “Anybody Named Holmes” variety is that it hold your interest. Netflix’s “Enola Holmes 3” falls short of even that low bar. It’s got a wedding and a few … Continue reading

Movie Review: Striving and Social Climbing, “Young Washington” takes the Shape of the Man He Became
Stately, staid and yet somehow still satisfying, “Young Washington” is a (mostly) by-the-book biography of the early life that shaped The Father of Our Country. It’s well-cast and handsomely mounted, and only falls into hagiography — rather obviously and clumsily … Continue reading

Documentary Review: Intentionally forgotten Lebanon — “Do You Love Me”
In Lebanon, an opening title tells us, “contemporary history is not taught in schools.” Basically, a half century of intermittent bloody unrest has been erased. The endless Israeli incursions and invasions? The civil war Israel triggered with the refugee dislocations … Continue reading

Movie Review: “Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan: Ghost War”
These are not the days for “Patriot Games.” The world we live in’s realities long ago outstripped Tom Clancy’s post-Cold War fantasies of a righteous but compromised America and the West and the mythic “surgical strikes” it takes to keep … Continue reading

Netflixable? “Little Brother” makes Cena Look Small
Netflix has made inroads in horror and begun to make a mark in prestige pcitures. But they cornered the market on teen rom-coms a while back. And now, years after signing Adam Sandler, his family and hangers-on, they’re going all … Continue reading

Movie Review: Too Much Talk, Too Little Action — “Ip Man: Kung Fu Legend”
The storied, mythic and constantly fictionalized life of the martial artist who taught Bruce Lee his moves earns perhaps his dullest film outing in “Ip Man: Kung Fu Legend.” It’s not really the fault of star Yu-Hang (Dennis) To, who … Continue reading

Movie Review: Bulimia’s a Drag in “Maddie’s Secret”
The first thing to know about “Maddie’s Secret” is that you have permission to laugh. Releasing it during Pride Month would tend to give one some doubt about that. Writer-director-star John Early’s melodrama may “play it straight.” But this satiric … Continue reading
