‘Monster’ gets a belated Netflix showcase, but the cast is better than the movie
“Monster” represents a minor coup for Netflix, not as much due to the movie’s merits as who’s in it. More than three years after its festival run in 2018, the film arrives with a timely theme and a cast whose stock has soared in the intervening time — including Kelvin Harrison Jr., Jharrel Jerome and…… MORE
‘Here Today’ pairs Billy Crystal and Tiffany Haddish in a gone-tomorrow comedy
In the spirit of Billy Crystal’s last directing effort for the baseball movie “61*,” “Here Today” serves up slow pitches for Crystal and Tiffany Haddish to knock out of the park, delivering another comedic odd couple with carefully massaged heart. As thin star showcases go, it’s an occasionally effective bit of comfort food, arriving as…… MORE

‘Jupiter’s Legacy’ has superheroes, but it moves a lot slower than a speeding bullet
For a series about superheroes, “Jupiter’s Legacy” moves in what feels like slow motion.

New ‘Stranger Things’ season 4 teaser is Eleven-out-of-ten creepy
It appears as though Eleven’s dark past will have some light shed on it in the upcoming season of “Stranger Things.” That is what we can gather, anyway, from a new teaser trailer released on Thursday.

‘Wrath of Man’ reunites Jason Statham and Guy Ritchie in a grim revenge thriller
Reunited, and it feels so painful, as Jason Statham, co-writer/director Guy Ritchie and an old-fashioned revenge plot add up to “Wrath of Man,” a serviceable, ultraviolent thriller if you can weather the exceptionally bad tough guy dialogue. Statham doesn’t speak in much of it, in a movie that operates under the maxim leave no bullet…… MORE
‘The Water Man’ is another coming-of-age tale, with the Oprah seal of approval
“The Water Man” arrives with the coveted Oprah Winfrey seal of approval, marking the directing debut of David Oyelowo, who also co-stars. Yet this coming-of-age movie is a very small-boned family movie, one that charitably would perhaps work best for older kids, in what feels like a too-lengthy trek to reach its well-intentioned message. The…… MORE
