It’s sort of a blah week movie-wise and otherwise, but we’re happy to see each other and you on the latest Breakfast All Day. Alonso, Matt and I begin as always with this week’s Coronavirus news (including the cancellation of Comic-Con and Taylor Swift’s 2020 concert tour) before moving on...

Stop me if you think you’ve heard this one before: In a rigidly structured, dystopian future, one extraordinary teenage girl will emerge as either its savior or its destroyer. “Divergent,” based on the Veronica Roth novel, definitely follows a familiar, young-adult formula. But the performances — namely from stars Shailene...
Read moreWhat the Flick?! — Divergent
Like Tris standing before all those bowls at the Choosing Ceremony, I’m mixed on “Divergent.” But I’m way more positive on it than Matt and Alonso are. Then again, I made myself read the book — and now I actually want to read the next two....
