There’s something very old school about “The Woman King.” It’s a sweeping, rousing, crowd-pleasing historical action-adventure epic the likes of which Hollywood doesn’t make that much anymore, at least not well. It’s familiar in a welcoming way. And yet, at the same time, this is also something groundbreaking. Because unlike the Hollywood epics of old, “The Woman King” […]

Barbarian review: the less you know, the better
Barbarian is a true swing for the fences. The film, which marks writer-director Zach Cregger’s solo directorial debut, is a horror mash-up that seems in certain moments like a modern riff on The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and at other times like a loving homage to the kind of campy horror comedies that Sam Raimi […]
Disney’s Pinocchio Review: Re-Watch The Original Instead Of This Wooden Remake
“Pinocchio” is the latest Disney animated film to get an updated “live-action” remake in our contemporary times.

Walking Dead: World Beyond Review: Second Spinoff Is Undead on Arrival
When I mentioned to a colleague that I’d just watched the premiere of AMC’s second spinoff of The Walking Dead, World Beyond, he asked just one question: “Do you think there’s an audience for it?” And I had to admit, I do.
