From Vikramaditya Motwane, creator of the Netflix hit series Sacred Games and Bollywood film Lootera, comes a present-day AI thriller CTRL. Is Motwane’s latest worth streaming this weekend? CTRL: STREAM IT OR SKIP IT? The Gist: Joe (Vihaan Samat) and Nella (Ananya Panday) are the perfect influencer couple: They do…
It’s no surprise that It Ends with Us (now streaming on VOD services like Amazon Prime Video) was a smash hit: It stars Blake Lively, who’s Taylor Swift-adjacent enough to be considered a superstar these days. It’s based on a 2016 romance novel by BookTok superstar Colleen Hoover that was…
movie review CONCLAVE Running time: 120 minutes. Rated PG (thematic material and smoking). In theaters Nov. 8. You could call “Conclave,” the juicy new Vatican thriller starring Ralph Fiennes, a pope opera. Director Edward Berger’s movie, which played Monday in the Toronto International Film Festival, is no sober depiction of…
movie review THE APPRENTICE What sensible people, whose LinkedIn accounts don’t say “movie critic” anyway, would go see a film about Donald Trump right now? The former president and current candidate dominates the news cycle, and obnoxious impressions of him are ubiquitous — whether on late-night TV or at every…
The behind-the-camera story of The Watchers (now streaming on Max) might be more compelling than the one in front of it. The film is the directorial debut of Ishana Night Shyamalan, daughter of M. Night Shyamalan, director of horror classic The Sixth Sense and many other films defined by their…
What would a comedy special look like if it were directed by a Safdie brother? We find out as Josh Safdie reunites with his Uncut Gems star to helm Adam Sandler’s first comedy special in six years. It’s messy, but very purposefully so, and thankfully nowhere near as tense as…
movie review DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE Running time: 127 minutes. Rated R (strong bloody violence and language throughout, gore and sexual references). In theaters July 26. “Good to see you,” Deadpool says to Wolverine early in their new movie. “You’re joining at a bit of a low point.” The sword-wielding superhuman…
The year’s best Western that’s written and directed by its above-the-title star is, obviously, Viggo Mortensen’s The Dead Don’t Hurt (now streaming on VOD platforms like Amazon Prime Video). I know Mortensen doesn’t have the decades of mega-clout that Kevin Costner has, but having sat through the former’s new film…
movie review TWISTERS Running time: 117 minutes. Rated PG-13 (intense action and peril, some language and injury images). In theaters July 19. “Twisters,” the disaster movie starring Daisy Edgar-Jones, is an oddity in 2024: A reboot that’s actually worth your time. Maybe it’s strange to call a film depicting the…
Great American Family may seen to be breaking the mold with a supposedly European male lead in A Royal Christmas Holiday, but don’t worry, they’re still committed to good ol’ American values. This new romance movie features Brittany Underwood as an American reporter and Jonathan Stoddard as a foreign royal…
