It’s easy to tell when a sequel is unwanted and ill-advised because the studio will quietly drop it in theaters at unusual times. This is why we have “The House Next Door: Meet the Blacks 2,” a Halloween-themed movie that’s been released i... Read the full review »

I would be the first to accuse film critics of going into “The Boss Baby: Family Business” without an open mind. When there’s an unwanted sequel that feels like a misstep right out of the gate, it’s human nature to dismiss the entire thing... Read the full review »

“Finding You” feels tailor-made for teens looking for a date night movie. This tame coming-of-age romance, written and directed by Brian Baugh, is based on the 2011 young adult novel “There You’ll Find Me” by Jenny B. Jones. The material... Read the full review »

The unconditional love between a boy and his favorite stuffed toy turns dark in “Benny Loves You,” a horror-comedy from writer, director and co-star, Karl Holt. As the film’s tagline goes, “hell hath no fury like a teddy scorned.” If you... Read the full review »

If you could bottle the ridiculous, the “Fast and Furious” franchise films would spill over the brim of the largest container possible. Even with all the ludicrous plots, outrageous action scenes, and impossible scenarios stuffed into the popu... Read the full review »

After a year-long hiatus from the communal screening experience in an actual movie theater, audiences deserve better than “Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard,” an unpleasant reminder that not everything about the movies is magic. This tired, humorl... Read the full review »

My septuagenarian mom called me up after she and her friends went to see “Queen Bees,” and I think our conversation would make the ideal movie review.
“We loved the movie, especially seeing so many old Hollywood actors. It made us laugh and... Read the full review »

“The Truffle Hunters” is a near-perfect documentary film for those who love Italian cuisine and dogs. This delightful film is like a story book that captures the lost art of foraging for the prized white Alba truffle, a clandestine affair that... Read the full review »

The irresistible “Swan Song” is a crowd-pleasing celebration of the joy of being yourself, and a homage to the rapidly disappearing small town gay culture. Writer / director Todd Stephens based his film on a real person that he knew growing up... Read the full review »

Fans of comedian Eric André‘s hilarious jackass-style humor will be most pleased with “Bad Trip,” an uncensored, bawdy film that’s now streaming on Netflix. The movie is a series of hidden camera gags that’s intertwined with a fictional... Read the full review »

Everybody loves a good underdog story, and “Percy vs. Goliath” is counting on it. The theme of one farmer’s fight against big agriculture is one that’s been done many times before, but this standard-issue (and ultimately forgettable) drama... Read the full review »

When I was a kid, I always dreamed of having a pony of my own. If you are a little girl who loves horses (or if you ever were), then “Spirit Untamed” is a movie for you. This animated sequel to 2002’s “Spirit: Stallion of Cimarron” may n... Read the full review »

Fans of Kevin Smith are a diehard bunch, and the documentary “Clerk” celebrates the life and career of the filmmaker, podcaster, comic book writer, and pop culture icon. Devotees of the View Askewniverse should mark this as a must-see, but new... Read the full review »

Based on Patrick DeWitt‘s novel, “French Exit” is one of the more interesting films I’ve seen this year. This strange, quirky movie has a unique plot, an oddball cast of characters, and a smartly written screenplay (by DeWitt), yet it will... Read the full review »
