The movie is filled with funny gags and cute cameos that hit way more often than they miss.

It’s an earnest but fun reimagining of the King Arthur legend, but with a twist. This time the kids are running the castle.

While the Oscar ceremony is almost a month away, here’s my too early guesses who might bring home the hardware in the major categories.

Shyamalan’s message to be wary of society stifling the individual is nice, but I would have preferred a bit more action built in to my super-hero morality play.

It’s conceivable that Bryan Cranston and Kevin Hart could make a funny even touching dramedy together, but ‘The Upside’ just isn’t it.

McKay, who cut his teeth directing silly comedies, has proven to be one of the most inventive and daring directors.

If director James Wan’s latest film accomplishes anything, it makes sure that Aquaman will no longer be the butt of every third-rate comedian’s joke.

The animation is stunningly beautiful, but like the best Spider-Man tales from the comics, the story is full of heart and centered on family and sacrifice.

This week is the calm before the storm. The floodgates are just waiting to burst forth as the Christmas movie-going season draws nigh.

The Front Runner is a movie that ultimately asks questions that are more interesting than the the film itself.

It certainly is the most wonderful time of the year at local movie theaters.

I enjoyed reading J.K. Rowlings Harry Potter novels as well as watching the previous films. I can’t say the same about the latest venture into the wizarding world.

It might not live up to everything everyone wants from a movie based on the career of a classic rock band like Queen, but the film was a straightforward showcase of the band’s music played out on a huge screen and with a fantastic sound system.

The film may very well be the acting swan song for star Robert Redford, and if it is he can proudly amble off into the sunset.

It was particularly good to see Curtis play the Laurie Strode character once again and to get an answer to what would happen to the surviving victim of one of these killers.

The film cements Damien Chazelle’s status as one of the top two or three directors working today. It’s exciting to know that he has a long career ahead of him.

Only two new movies open up in local theaters this weekend, but there still is a little something for everyone.

I was expecting a great pay off, but wound up feeling cheated.

If you are looking for an early Halloween treat, this is it. Black and Blanchett’s chemistry is delightful in this comic-fantasy that’s just spooky enough to be fun for kids and clever enough to capture adults’ attention.

The amount of biting humor and crazy twists and turns of the third act pleasantly caught me off guard.
