Breakfast All Day Podcast 2/19/21

We’re wrapping ourselves in our finest fur-trimmed coats to protect against the cold on this week’s Breakfast All Day. Matt, Alonso and I review the gleefully mean comedy “I Care a Lot,” the drama “Supernova” with its dream pairing of Stanley Tucci and Colin Firth as longtime partners, and the star-studded,...

RogerEbert.com — I Care A Lot

The title is as ironic as can be: Rosamund Pike’s character couldn’t care less about the well-being of the seniors who are her wards in the pitch-black Netflix comedy “I Care a Lot.” Her only interest in becoming their guardian is bilking them of their savings — until her greed...

RogerEbert.com — 7 Days in Entebbe

You’d never know how thrilling this real-life hostage rescue was from the weirdly sluggish “7 Days in Entebbe.” A back-and-forth narrative structure, a wide variety of perspectives and the bizarre intercutting of a modern dance performance into the action only serve to muddle matters.

10 Best Films of 2014

Every year, I say how hard it is to narrow down my best-of list to just 10 titles. But this year, it was especially true. Looking back on my favorite movies of 2014, I definitely see a theme emerging: otherworldly beings on the prowl in the middle of the night....

Gone Girl

20th Century Fox Rated R for a scene of bloody violence, some strong sexual content/nudity, and language. Running time: 145 minutes. Three and a half stars out of four. There’s a particular kind of narcissism that comes with being an only child. You are the confident center of your own...

What the Flick?! — Gone Girl

Matt, Bibbs and I all went a little nuts for “Gone Girl.” This is our sans-spoiler review, so we tried to rave sufficiently about the film without giving too much away. But a spoilertastic edition follows, so be sure to watch that, too — but only once you’ve seen the...
