In a battle of sequels, ‘Mortal Kombat II’ fell short against the overpowering sense of fashion of ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2.’

‘Labyrinth’ can feel like one, narratively speaking. But it ultimately leads to some good points. And it may help us consider what we post online—and why.

Citadel is stylish, silly and salacious. But its amnesiac spies may well leave conscientious viewers wishing they could forget.

The new movie ‘The Sheep Detectives’ made me smile, but it also made me think. I want to share five of those thoughts with you …

The one thing that Peacock’s ‘M.I.A.’ isn’t missing is action. But is short of good writing, sensible plotting and any moral storytelling.

Most weddings can be stressful. But The Drama takes the proverbial cake. Dark, difficult and profane, this wedding is no party.

‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’ sashayed to a winning opening weekend while other box-office newcomers ranked further down in the ratings.

The first ‘Star Wars’ film to ever hit theaters is a classic, no question. But even the classics deserve caution, and ‘A New Hope’ proves that, too.

As a horror flick, ‘Hokum’ works. But it won’t work for everyone. It’s a film that even adults should walk into with their eyes wide open.

Apple TV+’s horror-comedy ‘Widow’s Bay’ takes us to a deceptively bucolic island that hides some serious issues. The same could be said for the series itself.

‘Apex’ falls short of its lofty title. Despite its strong performances, the film loses its grip and slips into the overpopulated realm of needlessly grotesque thrillers.

While Netflix says that the animated ‘Stranger Things: Tales From ’85’ is a kinder, gentler sort of ‘Stranger Things’ show, that hardly makes it kind or gentle.

Nature can be brutal—but it can be beautiful and funny, too. ‘Orangutan,’ playing on Disney+, serves as a nice reminder of the latter.

Hey, Hollywood! Are you taking note? Good, strong, clean movies continue to (ahem) clean up at the box office.
