Come on in, the water’s fine here at Breakfast All Day. We have an early review of the much-anticipated sequel “Avatar: The Way of Water,” which is finally coming out this weekend, 13 years after James Cameron’s original. We were dazzled by its imagery and not much else. We also...

RogerEbert.com — Operation Mincemeat
“Operation Mincemeat” looks like a proper British spy drama and for the most part, well, it is. But the story itself is so absurd and is told with enough surprises and dry humor that it’s constantly engaging. My review, at RogerEbert.com. Read the review here...

We’re wrapping ourselves in our finest fur-trimmed coats to protect against the cold on this week’s Breakfast All Day.

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...
