Breakfast All Day Podcast 6/4/21
Summer is heating up but it’s a tepid week movie-wise here at Breakfast All Day. Stick with us, though, because Matt, Alonso and I have reviews of the horror sequel “The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It,” the Indian film “The Disciple” on Netflix and “Port Authority,” an indie...

It’s a hot August night in July with Quentin Tarantino’s love letter to 1969 Los Angeles, “Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood.” Alonso, Matt and I naturally have lots of thoughts on the latest Breakfast All Day — Tarantino never inspires shrugs or middle-of-the road takes — and we...
Read moreRogerEbert.com — Skin
Jamie Bell completely transforms himself to give a powerful performance in “Skin,” based on the true story of a white supremacist who dared to turn his life around. Vera Farmiga and Bill Camp are chilling as the hate group’s charismatic leaders, and writer-director Guy Nattiv’s film is sadly too timely....

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...
Read moreWine the Flick?! — The Commuter
Liam Neeson brings his very particular set of skills to yet another January action movie. You can set your watch by them, they’re so reliable. And that’s true once again with “The Commuter,” which is essentially “Taken” on a train. It’s a lot of fun for a while, and then...
Read moreFive Best George Clooney Performances
With “Tomorrowland” in theaters this weekend, my friend Ben Lyons posed the question on Twitter: What’s your favorite George Clooney movie? This is, of course, one of my favorite kinds of questions to ponder because it results in so many different answers and creates such a fun debate. Turns out,...
Read moreWhat the Flick?! — The Judge
This courtroom drama feels like an overlong, overstuffed adaptation of a John Grisham airport paperback from the mid-1990s. It is clearly the work of a comedy director (David Dobkin) trying desperately to do something more substantive. But it has a few moments that earn their demands to be taken seriously,...
