Movie Review: Spending “Eternity” with…Miles Teller?
It’s a cheap shot to label “Eternity” an “endless” romantic comedy that only seems to go on and on forever and ever. But a script with 60 minutes worth of cute/sweet ideas about marriage and the afterlife — none of … Continue reading

Movie Review: Forgettable and Regretable –“Ella McCay”
“Ella McCay” is a blandly-titled collection of randomly-scripted expressions of feelings, political frustration, character failings and over-acted monologues interrupting insufferable and incessant voice-over narration. Its two tedious and under-edited hours play like an aimless attempt at a feel good streaming … Continue reading

Movie Review: Korean Canadians, Kimchi and OkCupid — “The Mother and the Bear”
“The Mother and the Bear” may be the cutest thing branded “Korean” since BTS, or even the Kia Soul. Sure, it’s a Canadian indie dramedy by a Chinese-Canadian filmmaker. But writer-director Johnny Ma brings an outsider’s view and respect for … Continue reading

Movie Review: “Merv” is the Canine Couples Counselor for Zooey and Charlie
Zooey Deschanel’s image was cast in tinsel way back when she co-starred in “Elf.” So if you’re making a holiday movie for Xennials to get sentimental over, you could do a lot worse than the perpetually perky wide-eyed pixie in … Continue reading

Movie Review: Poots and K-Stew film “The Chronology of Water”
Rookie director mistakes mute the effect of a powerhouse lead performance in “The Chronology of Water,” actress-turned-director Kristen Stewart’s feature filmmaking debut.

Netflixable? Clooney’s a Movie Star who Takes Stock of his Career’s Cost — “Jay Kelly”
An aging matinee idol has his long, dark “tribute reel” of the soul in “Jay Kelly,” a George Clooney star vehicle that one-ups “first world problems” and “rich white people problems” with “movie star problems.” It’s a wealthy, famous star’s … Continue reading
Classic Film Review: A Theatrical Cold War Anecdote turned TV Bon Bon — “An Englishman Abroad”
An actress on tour with “Hamlet” is “recruited” by Britain’s most notorious spy in 1950s Moscow in “An Englishman Abroad,” a delightfully droll tragi-comedy from the writer who gave us “The Madness of King George,” “The Lady in the Van” … Continue reading

Movie Review: Who’s creepier, Foster Parents or “The Fostered?”
It’s a lucky thing that the thriller “The Fostered” is so risibly bad almost no one will see it and fewer will take it seriously. If this abomination had been a hit, with competent writing and direction and compelling acting, … Continue reading
