movie review CHALLENGERS Running time: 131 minutes. Rated R (language throughout, some sexual content and graphic nudity). In theaters.

movie review ROAD HOUSE Running time: 121 minutes. Rated R (violence throughout, pervasive language and some nudity). On Prime Video.

From the people who brought you “Morbius,” here comes more BS. Sony’s latest superhero mush is “Madame Web,” another of the studio’s dreary “in association with Marvel” movies that make viewers go, “On second thought, ‘Ant-Man’ wasn’t so bad.” The C-list character they’ve sunk their fangs into this time is Cassie Webb (Dakota Johnson), a … Read more
Nobody will leave writer Diablo Cody’s new horror-comedy “Lisa Frankenstein” shouting “it’s alive!” “It’s amusing,” maybe. The “Juno” scribe’s wacky contribution to the litany of riffs on Mary Shelley’s novel — from Boris Karloff to “Young Frankenstein” and “Frankenweenie” — makes the gothic tale into an 1980s teen sex comedy. movie review LISA FRANKENSTEIN Running … Read more
