Movie & Television Reviews

The realistic-feeling, albeit not fact-based, adventures the screenplay chronicles are not for the fainthearted — nor for those who object to soldierly swearing.

Billed as a dark comedy, writer-director Ari Aster’s deep dive into paranoia is instead a nightmarish, three-hour-long odyssey through a landscape of mental misery.

An apt subtitle for the forceful fact-based drama “Air” (Amazon) might be: “How to Succeed in Business by Trying Really Hard.”

There are religious underpinnings to the fact-based emergency-in-the-air drama “On a Wing and a Prayer,” which is streaming now on Amazon Prime.

The epic action-adventure game “God of War: Ragnarok” (Sony Interactive Entertainment) is something of a mixed bag. On the one hand, it’s full of dramatic storytelling, rich environments and clever puzzles.
