Alonso and I are heading in different directions in our review of the star-studded, action-packed “Bullet Train” on Breakfast All Day. But we agree that the “Predator” prequel “Prey” on Hulu and A24’s horror comedy “Bodies Bodies Bodies” are both pretty kick-ass, and you should see them as summer movie...

Cheerio! The “Downton Abbey” movie is here, and we’ve broken out our fanciest hats and finest teacups to celebrate at Breakfast All Day. Alonso and I review the big-screen version of the beloved TV series — he’s a huge fan, I’d never seen a single episode — as well as Brad...

It’s a hot August night in July with Quentin Tarantino’s love letter to 1969 Los Angeles, “Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood.” Alonso, Matt and I naturally have lots of thoughts on the latest Breakfast All Day — Tarantino never inspires shrugs or middle-of-the road takes — and we...

Lauren Sivan and I talk zombies. How hot is that? Watch the Video...
Read moreWorld War Z
Paramount Pictures Rated PG-13 for intense, frightening zombie sequences, violence and disturbing images. Running time: 115 minutes. Three stars out of four.
