TV Review: ‘The Gentlemen,’ streaming, Netflix

John MulderigApril 10, 20244 min read
Can an aristocratic lifestyle and a secret narcotics business mix? According to both his eponymous 2020 film and its current small-screen variation, “The Gentlemen,” showrunner Guy Ritchie thinks they can.

Movie Review: ‘The First Omen’

John MulderigApril 9, 20244 min read
Rosemary’s baby gets some competition in “The First Omen” (20th Century), director and co-writer Arkasha Stevenson’s prequel to a horror franchise that dates all the way back to 1976. While, like its long-ago predecessor, the film makes exploitative use of religion, this is overshadowed by the hideous deaths it showcases.

Movie Review: ‘Road House’

John MulderigApril 4, 20242 min read
Way back in 1989, Patrick Swayze found an action vehicle in the tale of a brawling bouncer hired to keep the loutish patrons of an Indiana bar in line. Switch venues from the Midwest to the Southeast and substitute Jake Gyllenhaal’s biceps for Swayze’s and you have the wholly unnecessary remake “Road House” (Amazon MGM).

Videogame Review: ‘Alan Wake 2’

Adele Chapline SmithMarch 28, 20242 min read
Well-crafted but intense and unsparing, the survival horror game “Alan Wake 2” (Epic) presents a narrative that delves into the human psyche in a sophisticated way. Only those grown-ups willing to encounter graphic content, however, should grapple with it.

Movie Review: ‘Immaculate’

John MulderigMarch 27, 20243 min read
A similar sense of blinkered rejection and smug relief may be detected in “Immaculate” (Neon), a vile piece of horror tripe from director Michael Mohan.

Kurt JensenMarch 21, 20243 min read
