Breakfast All Day Marvel Mondays: Spider-Man: Far From Home
We’re getting close to the end of our Marvel Mondays journey — at least for now — with “Spider-Man: Far From Home” (2019). Nic and I agree this sequel isn’t as good as the infectiously joyous “Spider-Man: Homecoming” from a couple years earlier, and that it works better as a...
Read moreRogerEbert.com — Spirit Untamed
If you are an eight-year-old girl and/or you love horses, you will fit into the slim Venn diagram sliver that constitutes the ideal audience for “Spirit Untamed.” It’s a harmless animated adventure that will provide a bland diversion to young viewers. They won’t recognize how it wastes the abilities of...
Read moreRogerEbert.com — Spider-Man: Far From Home
“Spider-Man: Far From Home” changes the scenery but can’t quite match the inspired heights of its predecessor, 2017’s “Spider-Man: Homecoming.” It’s a lot of fun, and Tom Holland remains completely charming in his boyish incarnation of Peter Parker. But this sequel functions more effectively as a teen romantic comedy than...

It’s a Halloween miracle: Ben Mankiewicz actually joined me and Alonso for the latest What the Flick?! Podcast. (One of these days, all four of us will be in the same place at the same time, I promise.) This week, we talk about the latest incarnation of the horror classic...

You guys seem to like this What the Flick?! Podcast thing we’re doing, so we’re just gonna keep on doing it. This week is more packed than ever. Alonso and I have reviews of Tiffany Haddish and Kevin Hart’s comedy “Night School,” “The Old Man & the Gun” (which is...
Read more10 Best Films of 2016
I realize I haven’t written nearly enough reviews this year and I have a million excuses for that: being busy with Nic’s school, his skating, my skating, What the Flick?!, various radio shows, trying to read actual books. But I promise you I see everything, and I keep a running...

First of all, I’m not sure why I care so much. I said this to my husband this morning after the Academy Award nominations came out and I was thoroughly worked up over how terrible they were. I’m not sure why any of us care so much, actually. Maybe it’s...
