I have a confession to make: before going to see “Morbius” in theaters, I did what I never do before seeing a film I need to review. I looked at what other reviewers were saying about the film, and, from my understanding, I was walking into the worst movie of the year. I spent about […]
Take all those 1980s movies that you know about – you know the ones (“Back to the Future,” “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial” and “Return of the Jedi”), and imbue them with charm, lifelessness and an unbearable Ryan Reynolds performance, and you have “The Adam Project.” It is a trite, hokey, smarmy movie that takes all of […]
Once you accept that Pixar will never reach the heights it once coasted at, you can accept that “Turning Red” is a solid entry in its canon. Better than “Luca” in pretty much every way.

Marvel’s latest, “Eternals,” directed by Chloe Zhao (“Nomadland,” 2020) is a bafflingly terrible entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). “Endgame” (2019) felt like the culmination of a grand, overarching story, something big and beautiful, the end of a wonderful experiment of setting up and playing off different movies. On the other hand, “Eternals” feels […]
