REVIEW: The Way Back (2020)

mikecalkins | Mar 8, 2020 | 1

It hasn’t been a secret that Ben Affleck has dealt with alcoholism in his life, which is why it was a bit surprising when they announced The Way Back, a drama about an ex-basketball star who struggles with alcohol. I saw a lot of comments online questioning whether this was smart for Affleck to do...

When I saw the trailers for The Call of the Wild, they made absolutely no impression on me. I didn’t and still don’t know much about the Jack London novel, and nothing about the marketing scheme seemed at all remarkable. The presence of Harrison Ford didn’t do much to bolster my interest, as, ...

Being the oldest of five siblings and, at times, almost a sort of extra parent, I watch a lot of films and series that I’m not interested in. Depending on whose turn it is to choose a movie, we could watch something I love anyway like Star Wars or Lord of the Rings, a nature …

REVIEW: Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn (2020)

brettstevens | Feb 8, 2020 | 3

I’ve been a fan of Harley Quinn since her debut in the Batman: The Animated Series episode “Joker’s Favor.” There was a zaniness to the character that seemed to always set her apart from anyone else in the Batman pantheon, even her beloved Mister J. So when it was announced that Harl...
