movie review MOANA 2 Running time: 90 minutes. Rated PG (action/peril). In theaters Nov. 27. Well, at least it’s not “Wish.” “Moana 2,” the sequel to the 2016 animated film about an oceanic adventurer, is 20,000 leagues better than Disney’s congealed Thanksgiving leftovers from last year. But that’s a low, low bar. The studio’s latest … Read more
movie review BLITZ Running time: 120 minutes. Rated PG-13 (thematic elements including some racism, violence, some strong language, brief sexuality and smoking). On AppleTV+. There is an undeniably old-fashioned quality to Steve McQueen’s World War II drama “Blitz” on AppleTV+ — a rather unexpected one for the director of “12 Years A Slave” and “Shame.” … Read more
“Barbenheimer” was a phenomenon impossible to manufacture. But, more than a year later, that hasn’t stopped people from trying to make “Glicked” — or even “Babyratu” — happen. The counterprogramming of “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer” in July 2023 hit a nerve culturally and had the receipts to back it up. Unlike so many things that begin as memes, it transcended its … Read more
movie review WICKED Running time: <br>160 minutes. Rated PG (some scary action, thematic material and brief suggestive material). <br>In theaters. Who can say if “Wicked” has been changed for the better? I do believe it has been changed for the longer.

movie review GLADIATOR II Running time: 148 minutes. Rated R (strong bloody violence). In theaters Nov. 22.

movie review JUROR NO.2 Running time: 113 minutes. Rated PG-13 (some violent images and strong language). In theaters. It’s an injustice that duds like “Joker: Folie a Deux” and “Megalopolis” played on thousands of screens around the country while Clint Eastwood’s engrossing new film about justice, “Juror No. 2,” will only grace 50. The swell … Read more
Actor Matthew Lillard, 54, thought his career in Hollywood was over when “Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed” flopped at the box office. “I thought I’d be No. 1 on the call sheet for the next 10 years,” Lillard said in an interview with Business Insider. “And the reality was the exact opposite happened.” Critics ripped the … Read more
Making Jesse Eisenberg and Kieran Culkin the leads of a heartwarming movie about family bonds (the non-back-stabbing kind) and self-discovery would seem counter-intuitive. Culkin has just finished up playing Roman Roy, the cutthroat, foul-mouthed media scion on HBO’s “Succession.” And Eisenberg, even though he’s had a long and varied career, is still best known for … Read more
movie review HERE Running time: 104 minutes. Rated PG-13 (thematic material, some suggestive material, brief strong language and smoking). In theaters Nov. 1.

movie review ANORA Running time: 139 minutes. Rated R (strong sexual content throughout, graphic nudity, pervasive language, and drug use). In theaters.

Art the Clown is scaring audiences out of the theaters. The latest screening of “Terrifier 3,” the third entry in Damien Leone’s horror-slasher series about a sadistic killer clown, took place on Wednesday in the United Kingdom.
