“My Spy: The Eternal City” is the sequel to the 2020 action comedy “My Spy”, which was originally supposed to go to theaters and then Amazon acquired it for a Prime Video release early on in the COVID pandemic. I kinda like that film. Not amazing, but unique and entertaining enough, with Dave Bautista in […]
Academy Award winning actress Faye Dunaway is the star of many iconic movies, including “Network”, “Bonnie and Clyde”, “Chinatown” and “Mommie Dearest”. As we see over the course of 90-minute documentary “Faye”, available on HBO and Max, she’s had a lot of great roles throughout her career. And you can tell in her storytelling, through […]
“A Quiet Place: Day One” is the latest installment in Paramount’s popular sci-fi action horror franchise. 2018’s “A Quiet Place”, starring Emily Blunt and John Krasinski (with Krasinski also in the director’s chair) opened to $50 million, totaled $188 million domestically and earned Blunt the Best Supporting Actress SAG Award. “A Quiet Place: Part II” […]
Lucy Boynton, who gave a breakthrough performance in “Sing Street”, and was also in “Bohemian Rhapsody” with Rami Malek, clearly loves movies about music. She stars in another one, as Harriet, in “The Greatest Hits”. It’s been two years since her boyfriend, Max, died in a car accident. Harriet suffered a severe head injury. Every […]
“Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire” is the fifth feature film installment in WB’s decade-long MonsterVerse franchise. I enjoyed the most recent chapter, 2021’s “Godzilla vs. Kong”. 2014’s “Godzilla” was solid… 2017’s “Kong: Skull Island” only so-so… and 2019’s “Godzilla: King of the Monsters” was horrible. Also watched the first couple episodes of AppleTV+ origin […]
This documentary is a trip into the mind of “Star Trek”, “T.J. Hooker” and “Boston Legal” star — and the Priceline Negotiator — William Shatner. If you’re a fan of his, and of acting and entertainment icons, you’ll love that “You Can Call Me Bill” opens up Shatner’s vault, with a treasure trove of clips. […]
“Shirley” stars Academy Award winner Regina King as Shirley Chisholm. In 1968, she was the first African American woman elected to U.S. Congress, representing the state of New York. In 1972, she campaigned to run for President of the United States, hoping to secure the Democratic nomination. This film is mostly a chronicle of that […]
It’s been two years and four months since the simultaneous theatrical and HBO Max release of “Dune”. The star-studded action drama from Academy Award nominated “Arrival” director Denis Villeneuve was the highest grossing film of 2021 for Warner Bros., earning $400 million worldwide. Now comes the next chapter, which is looking to double the original’s […]
In “Argylle”, Bryce Dallas Howard stars as spy novel series author Ellie Conway. On a train, she meets real spy Aidan (played by Sam Rockwell) and gets caught-up in an escapade that puts her life — and the world — on the line. It’s also supposed to make you question what’s real and what’s fictional. […]
Kevin Hart has lent his voice to a duo of “Secret Life of Pets” installments and joined his pal Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson for a couple of “Jumanji” blockbusters. Now he’s hoping to kick-start a live-action franchise where he gets top billing. Hart stars in Netflix’s “Lift” as Cyrus, the leader of a group of […]
