Few love stories are so exquisitely tortured as the one in Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind. Jim Carrey’s sad sack wants to forget his quirky lover, played winningly by Kate Winslet. Turns out there is a quack who offers a mind-wash. Perfect! Except it’s not. However it does set u…

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them felt like a forced march as much as a magical experience. With so much exposition to get in, this first of five Fantastic Beasts movies is more episodic than rhapsodic. The march is worth taking however, since the magical experience introduces us to a …

The Crimes of Grindelwald is also The Parade of Obscurities, so convoluted are its developments over 2¼ hours. Unlike other J.K. Rowling movies, which have generally been discernible despite their depth, Fantastic Beasts 2 makes even the convoluted Avengers: Age of Ultron… |

Affecting, engaging movie about the happenstance meeting of two once-in-a-lifetime talents: a legendary white novelist and a teenage black hoopster … who is also a singular literary talent. Only in Hollywood, as the saying goes. Still, with Sean Connery heading up a first-rate cast, a smart … |

Focus is a decent date movie, especially for fans of con-artist movies and/or Will Smith (and who’s not). More credit eludes it due to tortured plotting, unbelievable happenings and lack of romantic chemistry. As to that last, I blame Margot Robbie, the gorgeous blonde previously seen as DiC…

Bleakly terrific, this compelling movie delivers sufficient tension, human interest and muckraking to qualify as an indie classic. Outstanding performances, especially by Melissa Leo, coupled with rookie filmmaker Courtney Hunt’s well crafted story and production, show why this engaging drama wo… |

Audrey Hepburn is the spoon-full-of-sugar who makes the cultural imperialism go down in Funny Face. Stanley Donen’s musical – done Broadway style – is an intoxicating Vogue-tini, a Size 0 fashion fantasy. Richard Avedon famously created the opening titles, which are perfectly high fashion. …

Get on Up joins the pantheon of great rock biopics, memorializing James Brown as a seminal rockstar whose power, pomp and circumstances paved the way for the Rolling Stones, Michael Jackson, Sly & the Family Stone, hip-hop and every other form of funkable & funkadelic music. Get on Up gets on…

Get Out melds edgy African-American humor with classic horror movie tropes, the admixture delivered with near Hitchcockian mastery. That’s how Jordan Peele’s brilliant movie brings the Black Lives Matter sensibility to horrific life. The conceit is not that whites don’t care if blacks live or d…

I’m not really the target audience for this movie, or at least the target gender. But I like smart comedy as much as the next guy. Well maybe more than the next guy. Most guys won’t be watching Girl Most Likely, even if it’s got Matt Dillon canoodling with an ultraMILFy Annette Bening in two …
