Rating: R Stars: Kirsten Dunst, Wagner Maura, Cailee Spaeny, Stephen McKinley Henderson, Nelson Lee, Evan Lai, Nick Offerman, Jesse Plemons Writer: Alex Garland Director: Alex Garland Distributor: A24 Release Date: April 12, 2024 Writer/director Alex Garland’s CIVIL WAR depicts a second intra-state conflict within the U.S., but it comes at present-day politics from an oblique angle. Take away the familiar scenery and a couple of musings by the characters, and this tale of combat photojournalists could be set pretty much anywhere that heavily armed people are fighting with one another. At the White House, the U.S. President (Nick Offerman) is […]Read On »

A priest (Jeff Bridges), a singer (Cynthia Erivo), a vacuum cleaner salesman (Jon Hamm), and a really cranky young woman (Dakota Johnson) all walk into the El Royale. This is not a comedy, though the crime drama has its […]Read On »

Stars: Amy Poehler, Rashida Jones, Aziz Ansari, Nick Offerman, Aubrey Plaza, Chris Pratt, Adam Scott, Rob Lowe Network: NBC, airs Thursday nights Original Telecast: May 11, 2011 As NBC mulls the fate of PARKS AND RECREATION (it would seem an impossibility that they wouldn’t bring it back, even for a truncated season), the fourth season finale “Win, Lose Or Draw” proves why the show shouldn’t be on the bubble, and deserves a few more seasons of its well-oiled comedy. Like THE OFFICE, PARKS AND RECREATION derives its humor from the mockmentary approach. There’s a little more fluidity with the PARKS […]Read On »

Stars: Amy Poehler, Rashida Jones, Aziz Ansari, Nick Offerman, Aubrey Plaza, Chris Pratt, Adam Scott, Rob Lowe Network: NBC, airs Thursday nights Original Telecast: September 22, 2011 Although PARKS AND RECREATION started off okay and then developed into one of the funniest shows during its second season, it finally found some mainstream acceptance with its third season and the addition of Adam Scott and Rob Lowe to the cast. Season Three was fantastic and showed the show growing and evolving into its own. With the Season Four premiere “I’m Leslie Knope,” the series is on target to deliver another solid […]Read On »
