Hold on tight — we’ve got you here on Breakfast All Day. Alonso and I catch up with “Fall,” a lean, mean survival thriller that will make you seriously squirm in your seat if you’re afraid of heights. In news, we discuss Ezra Miller, Tom Holland, Olivia Wilde and Jason...

RogerEbert.com — Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore
These “Fantastic Beasts” movies are just not good. They are extremely OK. They’re all chasing the dragon of that astronomical, worldwide, once-in-a-generation “Harry Potter” success, but each new movie in this spinoff franchise reminds us of how unnecessary and inferior they are. My mixed review of “The Secrets of Dumbledore,”...

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...
Read moreRogerEbert.com — Trainwreck
“Trainwreck” is anything but. It’s a great showcase for Amy Schumer’s distinctive and biting comic voice, but it’s also an opportunity for her to explore unexpected dramatic range. And it’s the first Judd Apatow movie that’s ever made my cry. My RogerEbert.com review. Read the review here...
Read moreRogerEbert.com — Madame Bovary
The Madame Bovary of this “Madame Bovary” could be Betty Draper. She could be a reality-show housewife or the mom waiting in front of you in an SUV in the pickup line at school. My mixed review of this beautiful but emotionally detached take on Gustave Flaubert’s great novel, at...
