“The Mitchells vs. the Machines” is sure to be one of our favorite movies of the year, and you can enjoy the hilarious family comedy now on Netflix. Also this week on Breakfast All Day, Alonso, Matt and I review the extremely so-so “Tom Clancy’s Without Remorse,” the horror movie/marital...

RogerEbert.com — Things Heard & Seen
“Things Heard & Seen” is partly a Gothic horror movie and partly a portrait of a marriage falling apart. It’s more effective as the latter than the former, but by the end these two seemingly separate kinds of movie dovetail in a way that’s surprisingly clever and effective. Amanda Seyfried...

The whole gang got back together — all too briefly — to talk about “Mank” on this week’s episode of Breakfast All Day. We couldn’t possibly have a discussion of this film without our old friend and co-host Ben Mankiewicz, grandson of “Citizen Kane” screenwriter Herman Mankiewicz, who’s the subject...

“Miss Juneteenth” is a lovely and vivid indie drama with a tremendous lead performance from Nicole Beharie, one of several movies we review this week on Breakfast All Day.

The sequel to the 2008 schmaltzy smash “Mamma Mia!” features even more characters and more subplots and more romantic entanglements. But it’s also less entertaining, the stakes are lower, and despite its frantic energy, it goes absolutely nowhere. It has its moments, though, so if you want an empty summer...
Read moreFive Great Anton Yelchin Performances
The word “devastating” gets tossed around a lot, but when it comes to describing the strange and sudden death of Anton Yelchin, it doesn’t feel like enough. The 27-year-old actor, who died early Sunday morning when his car rolled over him in his own driveway, displayed a wealth of instincts...
Read moreTed 2
Universal Pictures Rated R for crude and sexual content, pervasive language, and some drug use. Running time: 115 minutes. Two and a half stars out of four. If you liked the original “Ted,” Seth MacFarlane’s 2012 surprise smash about a pot-smoking, potty-mouthed teddy bear, then you will probably like “Ted...
