Cutler directed MURF THE SURF, co-writing it with Ryan Gallagher, and serving as one of the executive producers, a group that also includes […]Read On »

Rating: PG-13 Stars: Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda, Rita Moreno, Sally Field, Tom Brady, Harry Hamlin, Sara Gilbert, Bob Balaban, Glynn Turman, Rob Corddry, Guy Fieri, Billy Porter Writers: Emily Halpern & Sarah Haskins Director: Kyle Marvin Distributor: Paramount Pictures Release Date: February 3, 2023 80 FOR BRADY is a genial comedy that brings together four women of a certain age. After first starring together in 1980’s 9 TO 5 and in seven seasons (2015-2022) of the Netflix comedy GRACE AND FRANKIE, it seems perfectly natural to see Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda playing lifelong friends. They are joined here by […]Read On »

Rating: PG-13 Stars: Ellen Hillman, Neil Sheffield, Kian Pritchard, Gillian Broderick, Angus Kennedy, Stuart Matthews, Andrew May-Gohrey, Daniel May-Gohrey, Stuart Matthews, Simone McIntyre, Helen Coathup Writer: David Marantz Director: David Marantz Distributor: Gravitas Ventures Release Date: January 31, 2023 (digital) ALIVE is a mostly well-done and sober-minded (that is, non-comedic) zombie movie. It suffers not so much from anything that it’s doing wrong, but more from being something of a latecomer. Borrowing the idea of contagion, but not the extreme speed, from 28 DAYS LATER, ALIVE posits an epidemic that the English government downplays, even as the situation becomes increasingly […]Read On »

Rating: R Stars: Alexander Skarsgård, Mia Goth, Cleopatra Coleman, Jalil Lespert, Thomas Kretschmann, Amanda Brugel, John Ralston, Caroline Boulton, Jeffrey Ricketts Writer: Brandon Cronenberg Director: Brandon Cronenberg Distributor: Neon Release Date: January 27, 2023 INFINITY POOL is one of those movies that requires reviewers to watch the trailer after the fact, in order to know what’s being revealed to prospective audiences, and what still constitutes a spoiler. In this case, the trailer discloses that we enter the realm of science fiction early on. INFINITY POOL starts in utter blackness, as married couple James (Alexander Skarsgård) and Em (Cleopatra Coleman) muse […]Read On »

Rating: R Stars: Joseph Sikora, Andrew Bachelor, Annie Ilonzeh, Ruby Modine, Iddo Goldberg, Terrence Jenkins, Jessica Allain, Tip “Ti” Harris, Michele McCormick Writers: Deon Taylor and John Ferry Director: Deon Taylor Distributor: Hidden Empire Film Group Release Date: January 27, 2023 FEAR is one of those movies that arguably has a little too much happening. There are COVID tensions, myths, witch spells, books, religion, and a place that messes with people’s minds. Given all the plates that are spinning, director Deon Taylor and his co-writer John Ferry do a decent job of keeping things coherent. We see what looks like […]Read On »
