Movie Review: ‘Star Wars: Episode IX – The Rise of Skywalker’
So this is it, everybody. This is how “Star Wars” ends. At least, this is how “Star Wars” was supposed to end at one time. George Lucas conceived of the space saga as a nine-part series, with the “original” trilogy (Episodes IV-VI) coming out in the 70’s and 80’s, the prequel trilogy (Episodes I-III) coming […]

Movie Review: ‘Jumanji: The Next Level’
“Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle” was one of the more successful reboots in recent memory. The 2017 film managed to make over $400 million at the domestic box office despite opening in the shadow of “Star Wars: The Last Jedi.” The appeal was apparently a combination of nostalgia for the 1995 Robin Williams original and […]

Movie Review: ‘Queen & Slim’
“Queen & Slim” came in fourth place at the weekend box office. It’s not hard to see why the film finished so low; it’s playing on fewer than half the screens of higher-ranking holdovers “Frozen II,” “Knives Out,” and “Ford v Ferrari.” But I can also see why it finished so high despite playing on […]

Movie Review: ‘Frozen II’
There were things about 2013’s “Frozen” that instantly made it a Disney classic: the spectacular ice-and-snow animation, the engaging princesses Anna (Kristen Bell) and Elsa (Idina Menzel), and of course, the rightfully iconic Oscar-winning musical number “Let It Go.” And yet, the film only got Two and a Half Stars out of Five, the equivalent […]
