Millie Bobby Brown is a total delight as she returns to the role of Sherlock Holmes’ plucky younger sister in “Enola Holmes 2.” The action comedy starts streaming Friday on Netflix, but we have an early review for you here at Breakfast All Day. Alonso and I also catch up...

Breakfast All Day Podcast 1/15/21
In a week full of flux and turmoil, it’s nice to have some good movies to talk about on Breakfast All Day. Matt, Alonso and I review the covid heist comedy “Locked Down,” starring Anne Hathaway and Chiwetel Ejiofor; the swoony romantic throwback “Sylvie’s Love,” with Tessa Thompson and Nnamdi...

“The Other Side of Heaven 2: Fire of Faith” is the sequel to 2001’s “The Other Side of Heaven.” It also wasn’t screened for critics before it opened. Both films are based on the memoirs of Mormon Elder John H. Groberg and his missionary work in Tonga. The latest film...
Read moreRogerEbert.com — The Hustle
Rebel Wilson and Anne Hathaway try to outwit and out-con each other in the comedy “The Hustle,” a remake of “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels” (which itself was a remake of “Bedtime Story”). These ladies are game for anything, and their antics prompt giggles here and there, and the clothes are fun,...

It’s been a while, but all four of us are at the table this week to enjoy a little Breakfast All Day. And it’s a good thing, too, because this is a packed week with a wide variety of movies. Matt, Alonso, Ben and I review “Pokemon Detective Pikachu” (which...

(Actually, there are...

January is really Januarying this week on the Breakfast All Day Podcast. Alonso and I try to describe to you the insanely awful (and just plain insane) neo-noir “Serenity,” starring Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway, without spoiling its major twists. We also review the surprisingly fun “The Kid Who Would Be...
Read moreRogerEbert.com — Ocean’s 8
“Ocean’s 8” is a complete blast of a heist movie featuring an all-star cast of formidable actresses in to-die-for designer gowns. But beneath the glitz and glamour of this sequel lies a statement about the way women still unfortunately tend to be underestimated. The entire cast enjoys great chemistry, but...
Read moreInterstellar
Paramount Pictures and Warner Bros. Pictures Rated PG-13 for some intense perilous action and brief strong language. Running time: 169 minutes. Two stars out of four. Yes, I recognize the egregious tardiness of this review. “Interstellar” has been out for over a week now. I’ve started and stopped writing about...
Read moreWhat the Flick?! — Rio 2
“Rio 2” comes to life during its colorful, lively musical numbers. But then they end, and you realize there isn’t much to the story — despite the many competing subplots. Matt and I aren’t exactly packing our bags and heading down there....
