Your favorite criminal superheroes are back on Breakfast All Day. This week, we review James Gunn’s gory extravaganza “The Suicide Squad,” Leos Carax’s musical fantasia “Annette,” the Netflix documentary “Pray Away,” and the animated “Vivo,” in case you haven’t had enough Lin-Manuel Miranda. In news, we talk about possible Golden...
Read moreRogerEbert.com — Vivo
What begins in lively and vibrant fashion as the title would suggest gets bogged down in a literal and figurative swamp in “Vivo.” When the Lin-Manuel Miranda animated musical is about the power of songs to transform and connect people across years and miles, the film is at its strongest....

It’s hard to believe we’re almost done with our Marvel Mondays series, but here we are with “Avengers: Infinity War” (2018). Nicolas and I talk about how fun it is to see the various Marvel characters interact with each other, whether Nic relates to surly Teenage Groot, how emotional the...

Read moreGuardians of the Galaxy
Walt Disney Pictures Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of sci-fi violence and action, and for some language. Running time: 121 minutes. Three stars out of four. As I’m writing this review of “Guardians of the Galaxy,” I have “Come and Get Your Love,” the bouncy 1974 pop tune by Redbone,...
Read moreWhat the Flick?! — Guardians of the Galaxy
“Guardians of the Galaxy” is the cheekiest, wackiest sci-fi blockbuster you’ll see all summer. Great cast, inspired visuals and a blast of a soundtrack of ’70s pop tunes which will be stuck in your head long afterward. Trust me....
