Kramer vs. Kramer was groundbreaking stuff, became an enormous financial success, and took home Oscars for Best Picture, Direction, Actor, Supporting Actress, and Screenplay. If Netflix has...

On the other, it’s a coming-of-age story, where tales of monsters and villains, the basis of most literature aimed at children, are twisted to create new and darker myths. It’s a film of brash silliness and profound ideas, buttressed by the...

A dozen or so films have served as puzzle pieces leading us here, with disparate characters from all over the galaxy uniting to confront the baddie of all baddies, Thanos. I’ll say straight up that for this non-obsessive (about this comic book stuff, at...

Thankfully, it’s a comedy, so that’s good news. This thing works! Unfortunately, it also feels like a bit of a missed opportunity. The cast is great, the big jokes stick, and the premise is fine, so this should be better. The whole thing is an interesting indie comedy...

Ultimately, the anime redo disappoints, but not for the reasons many predicted. The movie feels dully uninspired despite some glorious wall-to-wall eye-candy. The new ‘Ghost in the Shell’ is a curious...

This is base level animated family comedy stuff, filled with celebrity voice acting and more pop culture references than the movie’s IMDb page could possibly handle. The emotional arcs are all pretty obvious....

Movies like ‘Maleficent’ and ‘Cinderella’ felt forced and woefully inferior to their predecessors. The prospect of a live action ‘Jungle Book’ seemed particularly dire.

Their latest film. ‘Hail, Caesar!’, comes after three fairly ambitious pictures that wrestled with some hefty themes. This time, the brothers merely hint at intellectual ambitions. This movie is a goof,...
