Movie & Television Reviews

The idea of casting Sylvester Stallone as a superhero seems natural enough. But the concept goes badly awry in the dreary, inept action thriller “Samaritan” (MGM/Amazon Prime).

Despite its conformity to some misguided contemporary values, director Wanuri Kahiu’s film “Look Both Ways” has a low-key charm viewers will likely appreciate.

Amazon Prime, in collaboration with Sony Pictures Television, have decided to dust off “A League of Their Own” and give us an eponymous eight-episode streaming version.

A quartet’s initially enjoyable excursion into the wilderness suddenly turns perilous when they run afoul of the predator from whom the movie takes its title.

The social strife that roiled Spain, both during the 19th century and in the lead-up to that nation’s tragic 1936-39 civil war, serves as the background for the biography “Slaves and Kings”.

The dialogue in Ken Cheng and Kate Angelo’s script, moreover, lapses into coarseness frequently enough to mark “Easter Sunday” as off-limits to kids. Older attendees will likely enjoy the occasional chuckle. But this mostly amiable production won’t make much of an impression on them.
