It's Movie Time

May be Will Smith's first best-actor Oscar in a surprisingly-good sports biopic.

Thriller, romance, opera? You decide because this potboiler has it all. Out Nov 24 only in theaters.

A brief segment of Jonathan Larson's life creating musicals (on Netflix). Yes, he created Rent.

A most delightful way to visit a classic from the past and dare to improve it. Superb comic ghostbusting.

Kristen Stewart should be Oscar nominated for deftly depicting the contrasting sides of Princess Diana in a typical weekend with the relatives.

Kenneth Branagh's semi-autobiography is warm and nostalgic, one of the best movies of the year and of his life.

Edgar Wright  combines his chaotic-people motifs with Sparks-Brothers-like musical force to give us an intoxicating time travel back to '60's Soho and two dynamic heroines.

Cummings has moved from comedy to thriller with an effective cautionary tale about Hollywood adultery and ambition.

Netflix gives us a sophisticated heist replete with humor and suspense. From Zach Snyder's story, only a couple of undead abut a heap of incompetent, comical live ones.

Eternals competes well with the best Marvel adventures and may have more serious questions than ever.

I love Westerns, and I applaud this exciting modern take.

The Harder They Fall

The Harder They Fall is a new Netflix Western with a majority of its cast Black. If you anticipate a diatribe about white injustice’s treatment toward people of color around the Civil War, go to 12 Years a Slave because this oater has its sensibilities more in creativity than in imitation. Importantly, consider that a third of real cowboys were Black.

A typical Wes Anderson whimsy, eccentric and enjoyable.

A new old western evocative of Unforgiven with suspense and heart. On Prime.

It's a powerful epic set 600 years ago but as timely as Harvey Weinstein.

From the same filmmakers as Gunpowder Milkshake, this thriller-satire is worth the admission to Prime.

A challenging evening with Netflix in control.

A rousing biopic with the best female performance of the year.

It's classic Eastwood with modern touches. Hearty and engaging.

Free Solo climbing was never so alluring and dangerous as it is in this outstanding doc. In theaters.
