RogerEbert.com — The Tomorrow War

Chris Pratt took all the clout and popularity he amassed from starring in the “Jurassic World” and “Guardians of the Galaxy” franchises and used them to make … “The Tomorrow War,” a blandly derivative and overlong sci-fi thriller. Originally intended for theaters pre-pandemic, it’s now streaming through Amazon Prime Video....

Breakfast All Day Podcast 7/10/20

It’s just another day in paradise here at Breakfast All Day. Matt, Alonso and I review the justifiably hyped, “Groundhog Day”-style comedy “Palm Springs,” the bad-ass action drama “The Old Guard,” Tom Hanks’ WWII thriller “Greyhound” and a couple of documentaries: the searing “Welcome to Chechnya” and “Mucho Mucho Amor,”...

RogerEbert.com — The Front Runner

The typically charismatic Hugh Jackman is horribly miscast in “The Front Runner” as Gary Hart, the Colorado senator who was on his way to the Democratic nomination — and probably the presidency — before a sex scandal derailed his career in 1987. Jackman seems too old, too mad and too...

Wine the Flick?! — Justice League

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...

Kung Fu Panda 3

DreamWorks Animation Rated PG for martial arts action and some mild rude humor. Running time: 95 minutes. Three stars out of four. So vividly immersive is “Kung Fu Panda 3” — so vibrant, so tactile — it will make you feel as if you’ve stepped into a fully realized world....

Oscar Picks 2015

Predicting the Oscars was extraordinarily hard this year — harder than I can remember in a long time. Usually by this point, with the Academy Awards ceremony just a few days away, the frontrunners have established themselves pretty clearly. And while this is true (for the most part) in the...

Whiplash

Sony Pictures Classics Rated R for strong language including some sexual references. Running time: 106 minutes. Three stars out of four. “Whiplash” puts us in the deliciously uncomfortable position of rooting for the shared success of two characters who are unlikable individually and toxic together. It’s one of the most...
