movie review OUR LITTLE SECRET Running time:101 minutes. Rated TV-14. On Netflix. It’s another holiday with Lindsay.

There was the unbearable “Falling for Christmas,” in which an injury causes a stuck-up hotel heiress to lose her memory. She’s … Read more
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
Theater review DEATH BECOMES HER Two hours and 30 minutes, with one intermission. At the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre, 205 W. 46th Street. There is a miracle elixir in the campy musical “Death Becomes Her,” which opened Thursday night at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre. I don’t mean the nuclear-pink liquid that offers eternal youth in exchange for becoming … Read more
It left diners sleepless in Seattle. Fob Sushi Bar’s Seattle outlets have temporarily shuttered after fans of food influencer Keith Lee claimed they saw something wriggling during Lee’s video review of the restaurant. “In response to recent food safety concerns, we have decided to close our Fob sushi locations in Seattle and Bellevue until further … Read more
Theater review SWEPT AWAY 90 minutes, with no intermission. At the Longacre Theatre, 220 W. 48th Street. Something I won’t be saying on my death bed: “I wish I would’ve watched more shows about boats.” Yet another crew of singing seafarers sets off in the Avett Brothers’ uneven “Swept Away,” which opened Tuesday night at … 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. Hollywood has, somewhat mystifyingly, taken a two-and-a-half-hour hit Broadway musical and — hey presto! — … Read more
Theater review TAMMY FAYE Two hours and 35 minutes, with one intermission. At the Palace Theatre, 160 W 47th Street. The Bitch is Back at the Palace Theatre, the storied house that holds decades of memories for Elton John — both happy and miserable. Twenty-four years ago, his “Aida,” a Disneyfied take on Verdi, opened … Read more
movie review RED ONE Zero Stars. Running time: 123 minutes. Rated PG-13 (action, some violence, and language). In theaters. For the most wonderful time of the year comes the worst movie of the year.

Theater review MAYBE HAPPY ENDING One hour and 45 minutes, with no intermission. At the Belasco Theatre, 111 W. 44th Street.

movie review GLADIATOR II Running time: 148 minutes. Rated R (strong bloody violence). In theaters Nov. 22. Ridley Scott has probably been feeling a lot like a gladiator lately, fending off menacing movie critics from his high-profile duds. The director’s wretched “House of Gucci” was devoured by lions; the gauche “Napoleon” decapitated. And “The Last … Read more
On the third number of her “Girls Just Want to Have Fun” farewell tour at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night, Cyndi Lauper sang “When You Were Mine,” her synthful Prince cover from her 1983 debut “She’s So Unusual.” It was a reminder that, at 71, she had outlived other ’80s music icons such as … 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. Robert Zemeckis’ film “Here” is an object lesson in how to take a touching idea and make an extremely annoying movie out of it. The “Forrest Gump” director’s lofty concept, adapted from … Read more
Theater review ROMEO + JULIET Two hours, with one intermission. At the Circle in the Square Theatre, 235 West 50th Street. Through February 16.

There is no doubt as to what the new play “Left on Tenth,” which opened at the James Earl Jones Theatre Wednesday night, wants to be: A romantic, funny and harrowing tale of a woman’s rebirth. Theater review LEFT ON TENTH One hour and 40 minutes, with no intermission. At the James Earl Jones Theatre, … Read more
movie review VENOM: THE LAST DANCE Running time: 109 minutes. Rated PG-13 (intense sequences of violence and action, bloody images and strong language). In theaters Friday.

Yes, it’s a revival of a 31-year-old musical that’s based on a 74-year-old black-and-white movie. And both are as fuzzily remembered by young audiences as the main character, Norma Desmond, is by cruel Hollywood. Theater review SUNSET BOULEVARD 2 hours and 35 minutes with one intermission. At the St. James Theatre, 246 West 44th Street. … Read more
