WHAT I LIKED: 'Collateral,' is one of the most gripping and engaging thrillers I've ever seen, and in large part that's because - like with all Michael Mann films - the purpose of putting the characters through their paces is to unpick their fasci... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Sometimes, at the limits of human ability and far from everyday life, Man v Nature movies force their characters to ask some pretty existential questions about the reason they put one foot in front of the other. Other times though, t... Read the full review »

An underserved genre in film is the meet-cute romance for folks over 50. That’s what’s most appealing about “Sometime Other Than Now,” a boilerplate love story / drama about two lost souls who discover in each other what they never knew th... Read the full review »

It’s terrific to see the animated movies continuing to evolve, and “Raya and the Last Dragon” is the latest film that takes the traditional idea of a Disney heroine and makes a huge leap into a welcome new direction. This magical fantasy / a... Read the full review »

One of the best things I can say about the “Tom and Jerry” feature movie, now streaming on HBO Max, is that it isn’t wholly terrible. The animation is bright, the human cast delivers enjoyably goofy performances, and the film stays true to t... Read the full review »

As it goes in the film world, there will be plenty of critics who will think they are “too good” for a ridiculous movie like “Willy’s Wonderland,” an outrageous, audience-pleasing popcorn flick with an 80s slasher vibe. This film is one... Read the full review »

“Crisis,” a crime drama about opioid addiction, is surprisingly decent. Writer / director Nicholas Jarecki lends a pedigree to this forgettable but not terrible story with three interconnected plot lines. The performances are much better than... Read the full review »
