It has become a time-honored tradition that stars of Saturday Night Live, upon graduating from the no-longer-funny late night show, elect to spread their wings and strive for cinematic greatness. With a few notable exceptions, most have crashed an...

There's a reason why so many action/comedies are failures. This is as true for more obvious misfires like The Bounty Hunter and Cop Out as it is for minor infractors like Date Night, an affable but ultimately forgettable example of the genre. In ...

For his third Hercule Poirot movie, actor/director Kenneth Branagh has moved away from Dame Agatha Christie’s highest-profile novels to something a little more obscure – a 1969 book called Hallowe’en Party. Screenwriter Michael Green, who re...

It's Ghost Town all over again. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, especially for those who enjoyed Ricky Gervais' previous feature, but The Invention of Lying feels a little too much like a wasted opportunity. In many ways, it's a similar anima...

Mean Girls, like 2023’s The Color Purple, is a reminder of Hollywood’s ongoing taste for self-cannibalism. Not content merely to take a known property and send it to the stage as a musical, the industry has taken the play, re-made it as a movi...

Since The Muppets first arrived in our homes during the mid-1970s with their iconic TV series, they've never gone away for more than a few years at a time. There have been some lean periods - the '00s come to mind - but, despite deaths in the fami...
