It’s a sampler platter of movies this week on Breakfast All Day, from indies to foreign films, great stuff to middling stuff. A very stuffy Alonso overcomes his allergies to join me in reviews of the all-star Netflix action thriller “Triple Frontier,” the subtly powerful Chinese drama “Ash Is Purest White” (with...

It’s an all-night dance party all morning long here at Breakfast All Day. This is an extremely random week post-Oscars as Matt, Alonso and I review Gaspar Noe’s thrilling and transfixing “Climax,” the deliriously bonkers stalker thriller “Greta,” starring Isabelle Huppert and Chloe Grace Moretz, and the gripping documentary “Apollo 11,” which...

We’re back to discussing television, by popular demand. This week, Alonso, Matt and I review M. Night Shyamalan’s third piece in his “Unbreakable”-“Split” trilogy, “Glass,” and we...
Read moreRogerEbert.com — The Last Man
Hoo boy, is it ever January with movies like “The Last Man” coming out. Hayden Christensen broods beneath a bushy lumberjack beard as a combat veteran building a bunker to survive a prophesied apocalypse. But all is chaos, smothered in relentlessly bleak shades of gray, so it feels like the...

That sound you hear is January movies slowly trying to kill us. This week on Breakfast All Day, Alonso, Matt and I review the painfully feel-good comedy “The Upside” and the shamelessly heart-tugging drama “A Dog’s Way Home.” We also play catch-up with “Bird Box” on Netflix and try to...
