So the Thanksgiving film season didn’t pan out, and things at the box office still seem broken. Until filmmakers figure out how to create more interesting films, this is a good time to nerd out at home....
Thanksgiving is here, and you know what that means, right? Stuff, buy stuff. And if anyone gets in your way, take ‘em down.
The latest festive slasher “Thanksgiving” goes all in for the season,...
I don’t hate it. That’s hardly a glowing recommendation or proof Marvel Studios has recaptured the magic. But Marvel Studio’s latest flick “The Marvels” has plenty of charm and solid action....
A lot of love went into creating “Quiz Lady,” a comedy that barely earns its rating. The characters and premise are familiar, and the brief flashbacks feel authentic, cut from someone’s actual...
David Fincher’s latest entry should shine, and perhaps it does, at least compared to other assassin films. But “The Killer” is hardly incredible, more like a day in the life of a contract killer....

‘Vacation Friends 2’
“Vacation Friends” served up some enjoyable moments and memorable characters, allowing John Cena a chance to spread his acting wings into comedy. A sequel makes sense....
“Star Wars.” The Empire has fallen. Luke Skywalker is training new Jedi. And the Mandalorians are rebuilding their planet. But a new challenge arises. Anakin Skywalker’s former Padawan Ahsoka...
