We last saw George Clooney in a science fiction film as a hallucination of Sandra Bullock’s. This time in “The Midnight Sky,” he’s no hallucination, but the audience may wonder what is really wonder what is real anyway. In 2049, something has gone horribly wrong and everyone on the Earth is facing certain death. It’s never expressly spelled out, but radiation is referenced as being what’s killing everyone off. Since it’s largely a naturalistic film, it’s likely a solar flare event or something similar has occurred. Set in Antarctica, Clooney plays Dr. Augustine Lofthouse, a brilliant planetary researcher who is…

As it turns out, Netflix has delivered one of the most singularly delightful and charming presents of the holiday season with “Bridgerton.” There’s few networks out there sporting a myriad of holiday romance films, but if you want something that just is both wonderfully crafted, staged, and performed- then once you’re done watching “Wonder Woman 1984,” switch over to Netflix and dive into “Bridgerton.” It’s a period piece set during the Napoleonic era (1813 to be specific), and is based on a series of novels by Julia Quinn.

We may have found the absolute WORST film to come out in 2020. Bruce Willis, Thomas Jane star in “Breach.”
If you are down for a tense cat and mouse- settle down, turn off the lights, and queue up “Hunter Hunter.”
“Wonder Woman 1984” hits HBO Max on Christmas Day, and we think it has big heart, with plenty of 80s comics camp.

Already a front runner for this year’s award for the longest official movie title, “Borat Subsequent Moviefilm: Delivery of Prodigious Bribe to American Regime for Make Benefit Once Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan” throws us back into the pains of watching Americans in their natural state: generally horrible human beings. Now, there’s some light at the end of the tunnel as this film features nearly two individuals who are actually helpful and try to do the right thing. Unfortunately for the rest of the individuals who fall in front of the camera, they are featured in all of their unvarnished loathsomeness.…
If you’ve heard about “Cuties”, you’ve likely heard one or more of the following: it promotes pedophilia, it’s a documentary, there’s underage nudity, and there’s 11-year olds performing sex acts on themselves and/or others. None of those are the case.
When fans of “Watchmen” and “Umbrella Academy” can say, “did you see what happened in that episode? It was so nuts”. “The Boys” fans just shake their heads, saying, “you’re adorable.”
Disney’s ongoing foray into rehashing its existing classic properties as Live-Action remakes has seemingly done the unlikely with “Mulan,” namely by giving its new incarnation a reason to exist.
