Too Long Or Too Lazy?
There are still people griping that Martin Scorsese’s “Killers Of The Flower Moon” is over three hours long. But here are some other things they’ll sit through despite having similar runtimes.
An Albert Brooks Documentary
I am looking forward to seeing an HBO documentary about the comedian/writer/director/actor who I’ve been a fan of for nearly 50 years.
Oscar Wars
I have been watching and writing about a lot of movies lately (including six reviews last week), but I’ve also been reading about them in a great new book about the history of the Academy Awards. Here’s my review.
“The Royal Hotel”
Here’s my review of a new movie starring Julia Garner and Jessica Henwick as vacationers who take a job in a mining town in the Australian outback, only to find themselves surrounded by dangerously toxic masculinity.
“Old Dads”
Here’s my review of Bill Burr’s new movie, about Generation X fathers trying to navigate a world of Millennials, including their younger wives.
“Killers Of The Flower Moon”
Here’s my review of Martin Scorsese’s new movie (with Leonardo DiCaprio, Lily Gladstone, and Robert De Niro) about an indigenous community made rich by oil, then devastated by greedy white men.
“Flora and Son”
Here’s my review of the latest from writer-director John Carney (“Once,” “Sing Street”), who specializes in small stories about people whose lives are connected by music.
“The Burial”
Jamie Foxx plays a high-powered lawyer and Tommy Lee Jones is his client. But don’t be fooled by the presence of those two great actors or add it to your Prime Video queue until you read my review.
