It’s an all-night dance party all morning long here at Breakfast All Day. This is an extremely random week post-Oscars as Matt, Alonso and I review Gaspar Noe’s thrilling and transfixing “Climax,” the deliriously bonkers stalker thriller “Greta,” starring Isabelle Huppert and Chloe Grace Moretz, and the gripping documentary “Apollo 11,” which...

RogerEbert.com — Run the Race
“Run the Race” is a surprisingly well-made, subtly-acted faith-based film, which is a rarity. The story of a swaggering high school football player (Tanner Stine) and his younger brother (Evan Hofer) trying to help each other out of poverty and despair through sports and faith plays like a Christian “Friday...

We are your valentine and so much more on this jammed episode of Breakfast All Day. Alonso, Ben, Matt and I are together again — three weeks in a row! — with reviews of the sci-fi extravaganza “Alita: Battle Angel,” the horror-comedy sequel “Happy Death Day 2U” and the extremely...

Read moreRogerEbert.com — The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part
It falls just short of awesome, but “The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part” is still pretty good. Crammed with colorful characters and self-aware pop culture reference, it’s high-energy and a ton of fun. Nothing could compare to the original “LEGO Movie,” though, which I gave four stars and placed...

Super Bowl weekend means less-than-super options at the movies, but Alonso, Matt, Ben and I managed to eke out a victory of our own. Yes, you read that right, Ben is with us for the latest episode of Breakfast All Day. This week, we review the English-language remake of the...
Read moreRogerEbert.com — Serenity
“Serenity” is laughably terrible but it’s also insanely ambitious in a way that must be experienced. This pulpy neo-noir starring Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway is one you’re definitely going to want to see with friends, just to hash through the Big Plot Twist that redefines everything. (Actually, there are...
