Marvel Studio’s first female-lead superhero film marks the end, thanks to all those crazy social justice warriors pushing their agenda on us all. That’s the hot take of a small but aggressive band...
Sundance film “The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind” might be the passion project of freshmen director and veteran actor Chiwetel Ejiofor, but it’s anything but amateur entertainment for two hours. No need...
The “How to Train Your Dragon” sequels never surpassed their maiden entry, favoring more juvenile stories as the series progressed. The weird thing is that choice didn’t help the franchise turn a profit,...
“A Star is Born” is this season’s “La La Land,” a mostly well-crafted flick that goes down easy. And like “La La,” this year’s musical with a dash of realism will not be remembered, no matter...
I’m tired. So very tired. And films like “Alita: Battle Angel” do little to quell the rage that brews in my soul at 3 a.m. when Baby B decides my chest is the only suitable bed he needs. So when...
“Green Book” masks itself as a champion of inclusion, a buddy flick set during the civil rights movement. What makes this one and its ilk so dangerous is quite simple: easy answers, simple solutions...
Films starring child actors are a special kind of gamble. Done correctly, they can be iconic like “The Goonies” or “Super 8.” And then there’s everything else, the painful trash only children...
M. Night Shyamalan has never been more Shyamalan in the latest Shyamalan flick with his signature Shyamalan twist. Sadly, like too many Shyamalanian thrillers, he Shyamalans all over this one. And so “Glass”...

Alfonso Cuarón is our generation’s most undefinable auteur, a cinematic author whose work refuses to be confined. From “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban” and “Children of Men” to “Gravity”...
A reality show host sits in the Oval Office. Films featuring Batman and Superman now suck. And “Aquaman” turns out to be a good time at the movies. This is truly the darkest timeline.

Now that’s a nerdy title for a film. Bypassing the notion of a multiverse and dropping us into the web of Spideys that exist across dimensions, from your friendly neighborhood brand Peter Parker and a black...
After this many young adult novel adaptations, or YA films to all the cool kids, set in desolate futures (“The Hunger Games,” “Divergent,” “The Maze Runner,” “The 5th Wave”), we might need...

“Ready Player One” is a missed opportunity thanks to weak writing. “Ralph Breaks the Internet,” an energetic sequel to “Wreck-It Ralph,” on the other hand, is what “Ready Player One” should...
