Movie & Television Reviews

The set of “I Love Lucy” was a toxic workplace. At least, that’s how it’s portrayed in writer-director Aaron Sorkin’s biographical drama “Being the Ricardos” (Amazon).

The title “Nightmare Alley” (Searchlight) at least gives moviegoers fair warning of what awaits them in director and co-writer Guillermo del Toro’s noir-inspired screen version of William Lindsay Gresham’s 1946 novel, scripted with Kim Morgan.

In 2002, director Paul W. S. Anderson presided over the first big-screen adaptation of the zombie-themed videogame series “Resident Evil.”

Will viewers be charmed by “Encanto” (Disney)? For the most part, the answer is probably yes, though this vivacious animated musical does include content that could be of concern for the parents of impressionable kids.

There are many knights but not much shining armor in the grim historical drama “The Last Duel” (20th Century).
