In an insane and unpredictable year, we’re especially in a state of flux this week as we await the results of the 2020 presidential election. No matter what happens, we’re here for you at Breakfast All Day — and we’re thankful that you’re here for us, as well. Alonso, Matt...

RogerEbert.com — Let Him Go
“Let Him Go” is the kind of solid, grown-up drama we don’t see very much anymore. It’s a throwback Western featuring subtle suspense, a rich sense of place and strong performances, particularly from Diane Lane, Kevin Costner and a showy Lesley Manville. You can see it in theaters now but...

“Serenity” is laughably terrible but it’s also insanely ambitious in a way that must be experienced. This pulpy neo-noir starring Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway is one you’re definitely going to want to see with friends, just to hash through the Big Plot Twist that redefines everything.

“The Spectacular Now” is a beautiful, subtle and authentic film about two teenagers who wouldn’t seem to belong together; not only do they fall for each other, they actually make each other better. For the most part. Miles Teller as the senior-class party boy and Shailene Woodley as his studious...
