“Knightfall,” the latest title of a thriller that had other working titles, is a B, C or D movie starring the dye-job-fools-no-one son of the funniest James Bond and a little known actress who looks as if she was cast … Continue reading

Netflixable? “Husbands in Action” serve up Korean Goofballs in a Kidnapping Caper
If you watch one screwball Korean action comedy this year… Damn. I just can’t pull the trigger on that sort of endorsement for “Husbands in Action,” a dopier-than-dopey kidnapping caper that “TV-MA” rating or not, seems aimed at kids. It’s … Continue reading

Movie Review: Eyes Off the Prize? Civil Rights Justice “By Any Means”
The all-too-human lust for vengeance collides with the faint hope for justice in “By Any Means,” a Civil Rights thriller set in the “Mississippi Burning” timeline. It’s a violent “true enough for Hollywood” tale of torture and summary executions in … Continue reading

Movie Review: Godawful Gal can’t get “The Runner” up to Speed
The star is generally too easy a target when you’re looking for the ways a movie goes wrong. So if we’re cutting Gal Gadot any slack at all for the debacle that “The Runner” turned out to be, let’s zero … Continue reading
Series Redux — “Saturday Night Live,” the First Season
I’ve been thinking a lot of late about Martin Short’s assertion — in Lawrence Kasdan’s “Life is Short” documentary — that “80 percent of comedy” fails, and the fact that he wasn’t talking just about his own efforts in landing … Continue reading

Documentary Review: A Classic Film, Controversy, and Wounded Turkish Pride — “Midnight Return: The Story of Billy Hayes and Turkey”
There was a time when movies could create an international furor that could last for years — decades, even. If you think North Korea’s war on Sony over “The Interview,” racist YA sci-fi fans fuming over the fact that Black … Continue reading

Netflixable? DeNiro, Monaghan and Scott need answers from “The Whisper Man”
Crackling performances and a twisty plot that mixes melodrama with suspense recommend “The Whisper Man,” a new thriller based on an Alex North novel. It’s “Silence of the Lambs” paying homage to “The Slender Man,” a tale of fathers and … Continue reading
Movie Review: A Buddy Comedy with “Idiots”
“Idiots” is a buddy comedy with raunchy promise, funny players and no pace. I mean NONE. If this was “Midnight Run,” which it resembles, it’d be “Midnight Stroll.” If it was “The Last Detail,” which also figures in its plotting, … Continue reading

Movie Review: Ridley’s Believe in it, or Don’t — “The Dog Stars”
“The Dog Stars” is the sort of movie that late August is infamous for — a dog that the studio couldn’t figure out how to fix or market into a success, so they dumped it on Labor Day Weekend. It’s … Continue reading

Movie Review: Statham at Sea means “Mutiny”
When Jason Statham growls, “Trust me, I’m coming back for everybody,” what self-respecting hostage wouldn’t consider themselves as good as rescued? J.Sta’s latest, “Mutiny,” is a “Die Hard” at sea that, thank to “Mesrine” director Jean-François Richet, uses that laybrinthine … Continue reading
