It’s spooooooky on Broadway. And not only because of the cost of a glass of wine.

“One Battle After Another” is not only the title of last year’s best picture Oscar winner. It’s 2026’s fortune cookie message for Warner Bros., the studio that made it. “You will fight one battle after another.” And lose! The studio’s downturn has been sharp and rapid. Hollywood declines often are. But it’s made much more … Read more
movie review COYOTE VS. ACME Running time: 103 minutes. Rated PG (cartoon violence and some language). In theaters Aug. 28. Talk about loony.

Audiences have gone back to the movies this summer after several years of will-they-won’t-they tension. And filmgoers probably have found themselves thinking the exact same thing. No, not “a Coke costs $10?!” They’re going, “You again?” Not that they mind multiple encounters with their favorite stars. But undeniably, through a strange confluence of factors, the … Read more
movie review ONE NIGHT ONLY Running time: 102 minutes. Rated R (sexual material, language, and brief nudity). In theaters Aug. 7.
