We’ve crossed the halfway mark on our Marvel Mondays journey with “Captain America: Civil War” (2016), one of those epic Russo brothers extravaganzas that bring together a ton of superheroes in thrilling and dizzying ways. Nicolas and I talk about how Cap and Tony take different stances than you might...

“The Mitchells vs. the Machines” is sure to be one of our favorite movies of the year, and you can enjoy the hilarious family comedy now on Netflix. Also this week on Breakfast All Day, Alonso, Matt and I review the extremely so-so “Tom Clancy’s Without Remorse,” the horror movie/marital...
Read moreRogerEbert.com — Things Heard & Seen
“Things Heard & Seen” is partly a Gothic horror movie and partly a portrait of a marriage falling apart. It’s more effective as the latter than the former, but by the end these two seemingly separate kinds of movie dovetail in a way that’s surprisingly clever and effective. Amanda Seyfried...

“Nomadland” has had a terrific run throughout this weird awards season, and we expect it’ll win best picture and Chloe Zhao will win best director during Sunday night’s Academy Awards. Matt, Alonso and I make a bunch of other Oscar picks this week on Breakfast All Day, but we’re hoping...

“Stowaway” on Netflix is a spare survival story in space, featuring four characters on a doomed mission to Mars. It’s a clever take on a familiar genre with a terrific cast — Toni Collette, Anna Kendrick, Daniel Dae Kim and Shamier Anderson — but the slow burn may be too...
Read moreBreakfast All Day Marvel Mondays: Avengers: Age of Ultron
It’s time for “Avengers: Age of Ultron” on Marvel Mondays, a movie I really didn’t like the first time and one that Nicolas had never seen before. On this viewing, we walked away with extremely different opinions from each other. Nic enjoyed the chaos of seeing all the Avengers fighting...

It’s the weekend but we’re already looking ahead to “Monday” on Breakfast All Day. Matt, Alonso and I differ wildly on the Greek romance starring Sebastian Stan and Denise Gough. We also review the dream pairing of Barbara Crampton and Larry Fessenden in the horror movie “Jakob’s Wife,” the mesmerizing,...
Read moreRogerEbert.com — Monday
Sebastian Stan and Denise Gough have wild, spontaneous sex all over the place in the Greek romance “Monday.” Sounds thrilling, but the highs and lows of this unlikely relationship between two barely developed characters actually result in a repetitive slog. My 1 1/2-star review, at RogerEbert.com. Read the review...
