Breakfast All Day Podcast 5/14/21
We’ve all been trapped inside like “The Woman in the Window” for far too long, but things are looking up here at Breakfast All Day. Matt, Alonso and I have mixed reactions to this brazen Hitchcock homage with an all-star cast led by Amy Adams. We also review “Spiral: From...
Read moreRogerEbert.com — The Woman in the Window
The long-delayed “The Woman in the Window” is getting savaged critically, but I kinda didn’t hate it. Joe Wright’s Hitchcock homage is stylishly made, has a tremendous cast including Amy Adams, Julianne Moore, Gary Oldman, Brian Tyree Henry and screenwriter Tracy Letts, and it’s intriguing for a while. But when...

We’re stuffed full of Thanksgiving dinner and holiday movies on the latest Breakfast All Day. Matt, Alonso and I have a full plate of reviews for you: “Hillbilly Elegy,” “Happiest Season,” “Superintelligence,” “Zappa” and the second film in Steve McQueen’s “Small Axe” anthology, “Lovers Rock.” In news, we talk about...

All is merry and bright on this final What the Flick?! Podcast episode for 2018. Alonso, Ben and I enjoy a spirited discussion of Adam McKay’s polarizing political satire “Vice,” which greatly divided us, as well. We also review a couple of biopics: “On the Basis of Sex,” about Ruth...

There’s a tiny, little art film that came out this weekend. It’s playing in just a few theaters so I wanted to steer your attention to it — and I wanted to discuss it with my only friend who’s knowledgeable about this obscure subject matter. I’m talking, of course, about...

I realize I haven’t written nearly enough reviews this year and I have a million excuses for that: being busy with Nic’s school, his skating, my skating, What the Flick?!, various radio shows, trying to read actual books. But I promise you I see everything, and I keep a running...
Read moreRogerEbert.com — Lullaby
Richard Jenkins, an actor of great insight and subtlety, makes his moments tolerable and occasionally moving in this otherwise mawkish drama. Jenkins stars as the wealthy patriarch of a Manhattan family who gathers his loved ones around his hospital bed to witness his decision to go off life support after...
Read moreOscar Picks
Usually by this point in awards season (if not sooner), it’s pretty clear what’s going to happen on Oscar night. Clear favorites emerge, especially in the best-picture category: “Argo” last year, “The Artist” in 2012. But things could go a few different ways Sunday night at the Academy Awards. So!...

Jennie Morris and I have been friends for so long that when we were kids, we’d spend hours at one another’s houses playing Atari video games — specifically, Pitfall and Megamania, in case you were wondering. (Yes, we are dating ourselves.) Now, we’re both grown-ass women with husbands and sons...
