Five years after the original comet disaster flick, Gerard Butler returns in GREENLAND 2: MIGRATION , a disappointing sequel to the surprising original. The good news is that Gerard Butler and Morena Baccarin are back as John & Allison Garrity, still living underground in the encampment that they strove to find in the original film. But that massive bunker is showing signs of wear and the Earth is starting to push back against the impact of the comet. Fissures and lava emerge

Three years after creating the groundbreaking special effects for Stanley Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey", Douglas Trumbull made his directorial debut with the modern science fiction classic, SILENT RUNNING. . All of the forests and plant life on Earth are extinct and the last wilderness exists only in huge domes being carried through space by a small crew. Bruce Dern (Black Sunday, Coming Home) is Lowell Freeman, the only crew member who sees guarding the last forests as

It took me about 48 hours to realize just how much I liked MARTY SUPREME . Josh Safdie's film pummels you with 150 minutes of fascinating/sordid characters, relentless tension and a music score that shouldn't work. Walking out of the theater, I wasn't sure that the whole thing did. I knew that Timothee Chalamet absolutely knocked it out of the park, creating yet another character in a cavalcade of diverse performances that seems almost impossible at his age. Like Daniel Day L

The new series IT: WELCOME TO DERRY is everything that the disappointing "Alien: Earth" wasn't: scary, thrilling and one hell of a franchise expansion. THIS is how you create 8 great episodes that expand the Stephen King universe while honoring its legacy. Noah Hawley's "Alien" FX series spent most of its time focused on a bunch of Peter Pan mythos and androids, reducing the xenomorph to a domesticated house pet. Not here. Pennywise is one lethal, gory, brutal sonofabitch.

Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson are showstoppers in the moving, new based-on-an impossibly-true-story SONG SONG BLUE . As the story unfolded, I kept turning to my wife and whispering, can this actually be true??? Researching it post viewing, the surprising answer is, for the most part, YES! Hugh Jackman plays Mike, Vietnam vet and long time rocker with a great reputation around Wisconsin after decades of playing bars. Celebrating 20 years of sobriety in a blue collar life, his

Looking for a dumb, silly 90-minute comedy, a quick hit of laughs? Let the meta-goofball ANACONDA put its squeeze on you. Paul Rudd and Jack Black are two of my favorite big screen comedy actors and they put on a superb show of goofball antics as two lifelong friends who've always wanted to make a movie together. Black plays Doug McCallister, a frustrated film maker stuck in an everyday job as a wedding photographer. His storyboarding of a nuptials video as a slasher flick a

Before we can start 2026, it's time for a look back at the Top 10 of 2025. Some years, I'm struggling to pick ten great films for the annual recap, but the past year has provided a bumper crop of thrillers, franchise winners, original drama and solid horror. For every bomb like "Him" or "The Woman in the Yard", there were several winners to offer a bounce back experience at the multiplex. Speaking of which, thank you to AMC and their A-List program which served up 107 films f

Underappreciated, hilarious and a spectacular example of the 1960's American musical, PAINT YOUR WAGON is a gold rush of classic stars and old fashioned spectacle. And those songs! Lerner and Loewe have always been a personal favorite, since my parents introduced us to the film version of "Camelot" on the big screen at a very young age. This 1969 film adaption of their 1951 Broadway musical is wholly different from the stage version, with five new songs and a greatly expande

Seeing this was trending as the most watched film on Netflix on the lazy day after Christmas, I thought "Great! an old fashioned disaster flick", there's no better cinematic comfort food. THE GREAT FLOOD is kind of a disaster, but not in a good way. Drowning in ideas, and dragged waaaay under by one of the most annoying child characters in history, it's more sink than swim. We meet An Na and her young son in an opening scene so grating that I immediately wanted the kid to d

Oh. What. Fun. Not. So. Much. An immense waste of a talented cast, this new Prime holiday movie is like a gorgeous stocking loaded with empty boxes. None of the actors are going on the naughty list, giving their all against a very weak screenplay that lands only a few laughs and zero emotional heft. Michelle Pfeiffer (The Witches of Eastwick) plays Claire, an overworked Mom trying to create a PERFECT Christmas for her grown children, who are all flying in for the annual Yule
