The Halloween comedy “The Curse of Bridge Hollow” is like an Adam Sandler movie without Adam Sandler.

It’s all very familiar,...

We’re freaking out in a “Moonage Daydream” here at Breakfast All Day, but we’re also celebrating because it’s our 300th episode! And this week is a great example of the totally random cross-section of stuff you get from us. Alonso and I review the trippy, kaleidoscopic David Bowie documentary, which...

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.

It’s gloomy and rainy in Southern California, but we’re here to offer some sunshine on Breakfast All Day. Alonso, Matt and I review “The Little Things,” which feels like a “CSI” episode full of Oscar winners, and the deeply disturbing “Saint Maud,” the first truly great movie of 2021. In...

“The Turning,” the latest adaptation of the Henry James novella “The Turn of the Screw,” is super stylish and moody, with a physical and emotional central performance from Mackenzie Davis. But man, that ending just does not work. My mixed review, at RogerEbert.com. Read the review here...
