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.

My guess is that ‘The Grinch’ would likely keep most kids under 10 entertained for most of the movie’s running time, but there is very little for adults familiar with any of the other versions of the story.

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.
