Movie Review: ‘Weapons’

John MulderigAugust 19, 20253 min read
Taken as a whole, the horror film “Weapons” (Warner Bros.) tends to be subtle in its approach to intriguing and unsettling viewers.

Movie Review: ‘Freakier Friday’

John MulderigAugust 11, 20253 min read
More than two decades later, the duo reprise their roles while screenwriter Jordan Weiss raises the stakes with further complications in “Freakier Friday” (Disney). While not a knee-slapper, the sequel is at least mostly wholesome.

John MulderigJuly 31, 20253 min read
Set in an alternate version of the mid-1960s, director Matt Shakman’s Marvel Comics adaptation “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” (Disney) can fairly be called the TWA Hotel of superhero movies.
