Our blockbuster drought is over, thanks to a brilliant sequel set on a sweltering desert planet. That’s “Dune: Part Two,” the captivating and complex followup to director Denis Villeneuve’s grand...
If you’re on the fence about catching yet another “Color Purple” adaptation, I get it. Since Alice Walker’s novel was published in 1982, the world has experienced Steven Spielberg’s Oscar-nominated...
Now that 11 years have passed since “The Hunger Games” first hit theaters, it’s impossible to spoil these movies anymore. So, I can reveal to you without any shame whatsoever that in the fifth...
Depicting one of the most consequential figures in all of European history as a sourpuss clown who crazily rattles off nonsense is a brow-raising choice by Ridley Scott, screenwriter David Scarpa and the...
During the 1980s and ‘90s, Meg Ryan was the Queen of Rom Coms. She was the luminous star of “When Harry Met Sally,” “You’ve Got Mail” and “Sleepless in Seattle,” but after experiencing...
Even for Martin Scorsese, a master of turning true stories into hot movies, “Killers of the Flower Moon” is a high-wire act of filmmaking. Its subject is a lot trickier than the rise and fall of...
What a shame that the major controversy surrounding the movie “Maestro,” the Leonard Bernstein biopic that had its North American premiere Monday night at the New York Film Festival, was over its director-and-star...
On his third try, Kenneth Branagh gets an Agatha Christie movie right. I had mostly given up on the once-heinous mystery series, dragging myself to his new “A Haunting in Venice” like I was the poor...
The greatest asset of the movie “One Life,” starring Anthony Hopkins, is the harrowing true story it’s based on. You might not immediately recognize the name Sir Nicholas Winton, but you have probably...
It’s been a banner year for underdog movies about seemingly unremarkable real-life events. The excellent “Air” and “BlackBerry” made the genesis of the Air Jordan sneaker and the world’s first...
It’s never a good sign when the most rousing part of a movie is the end credits. But that’s the way it is, in the totally unnecessary “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny,” where John Williams’...
“The Flash” made a splash its first night in theaters. DC’s highly anticipated superhero film starring Ezra Miller took in $24.5 million on its opening night Friday, according to IMDB’s Box...
How many more everyday objects can Pixar possibly give googly eyes and mouths to? The answer, as Buzz Lightyear would say, appears to be “to infinity and beyond!” Because for their new “Elemental,”...
Everybody has known it for ages: Optimus is way past his Prime. The first “Transformers” film in 2007, starring Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox, was frivolous enough; the next four were appalling;...
One piece of advice must have been on repeat inside the heads of the creators of “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse”: With great first film comes great responsibility. Because the superb sequel...
“Kandahar,” starring Gerard Butler, is the sort of textureless action thriller that sounds like it’s been musically scored by a subwoofer. The bass never stops booming as grizzled men frown...
Twenty-two years ago, the “Fast & Furious” franchise began as a sexy crime-and-cars saga set in LA. Ten movies later (not counting spinoffs), the meathead stars of these vacuous slogs look...
The plot of “Book Club: The Next Chapter” is set in motion by a line I hope to never hear in a fluffy comedy again: “The travel ban has lifted! And I think we should all go to Italy!” Great...
You won’t find a wisecracking Matthew McConaughey smoking a joint in Guy Ritchie’s new movie “The Covenant.” The prolific British director has, for the moment, left behind quirky crime and...
