Rating: R Stars: Keri Russell, O’Shea Jackson Jr., Alden Ehrenreich, Isiah Whitlock Jr., Ray Liotta, Brooklynn Prince, Christian Convery, Margo Martindale, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Kristofer Hivju, Ayoola Smart, Aaron Holliday, J.B. Moore, Leo Hanna, Kahyun Kim, Scott Seiss, Matthew Rhys, Allan Henry Writer: Jimmy Warden Director: Elizabeth Banks Distributor: Universal Pictures Release Date: February 24, 2023 It’s easy enough to believe COCAINE BEAR’s advertising claim that it is “based on true events.” After all, with all the cocaine smuggling going on, there is no reason not to believe that some got dropped in a forest and eaten by a bear.

Yes, creator Neil Cross, who also wrote all the episodes, provided some good twists and snappy dialogue. […]Read On »

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Carter O’Donnell, Brady O’Donnell, Mick Thyer, Paul “Doc” Ignatius, Trina Campbell, Nick Psinakis Writers: Nick Psinakis & Kevin Ignatius Directors: Nick Psinakis & Kevin Ignatius Distributor: Cleopatra Entertainment Release Date: February 21, 2023 (digital and home video) THE LONG DARK TRAIL has beautiful cinematography, by Mitchell Kome, of gorgeous woodland splendor. It has a lovely folky score by Kevin Ignatius, who wrote and directed the film with Nick Psinakis. It also has the virtue of brevity, clocking in at an hour and eleven minutes, not counting end credits. What THE LONG DARK TRAIL doesn’t have is […]Read On »

Rating: PG-13 Stars: Carrie Crowley, Andrew Bennett, Catherine Clinch, Michael Patric, Kate Nic Chonaonaigh, Joan Sheehy Writer: Colm Bairéad, based on the story “Foster” by Claire Keegan Director: Colm Bairéad Distributor: Neon Release Date: February 24, 2023 THE QUIET GIRL, Oscar-nominated this year as Best International (Foreign Language) Feature, is a quiet film. It takes the time to find wonder in trees reflected in a dipper full of well water, or a moon bright enough to light the way to a secluded beach. This quiet does not mean the film feels slow, however. It is, like its main character, watchful […]Read On »

O’Brian, William Jackson Harper, Corey Stoll Writer: Jeff Loveness, based on characters created by Stan Lee & Larry Lieber & Jack Kirby Director: Peyton Reed Distributor: Walt Disney/Marvel Release Date: February 17, 2023 From his first introduction in 2015’s ANT-MAN, Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) has always been one of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s sunnier characters. Scott is a good-hearted former thief who got into the superhero life accidentally by coming into possession of a suit that allowed him to become tiny, or huge […]Read On »

It also, as it turns out, is not really about extraditing forty-seven Korean accused criminals from the Philippines, where they have taken refuge, although that’s how the film starts out. Due to an earlier airport fiasco, the police in both nations […]Read On »

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Brandon Victor Dixon, Naturi Naughton, Orlando Jones, Thomas Sadoski, Michael J. Harney, Amy Sloan, Jon Tenney, Kenneth Choi, Kelly McCreary, Amanda Seales, Jeremiah King, Anthony Lee Medina, Pegah Rashti, Brian Norris, Vinny Chhibber, Shellye Broughton, William Fichtner Writer: Eromose Director: Eromose Distributor: Samuel Goldwyn Films Release Date: February 17, 2023 88 manages to pack an enormous amount of ideas into its two-hour running time. The film is articulate and well-acted. However, like its protagonist, Femi Jackson (Brandon Victor Dixon), it doesn’t ultimately know what it ought to do with all it has on its hands. Femi […]Read On »

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Natalia Solián, Alfonso Dosal, Mayra Batalla, Mercedes Hernández, Sonia Couoh, Aída López, Anahí Allué, Martha Claudia Moreno, Emilram Cossío Writers: Michelle Garza Cervera & Abia Castillo Director: Michelle Garza Cervera Distributor: XYZ Films Release Date: February 10, 2023 (theatrical); February 16, 2023 (VOD) HUESERA: THE BONE WOMAN is a movie good enough to maintain its ambiguity without either patronizing or frustrating the audience. The Spanish-language, Mexican/Peruvian-made HUESERA begins at the site of an enormous statue of the Virgin Mary, which towers over the nearby trees. This is a (real) shrine where worshippers come, singing the “Hail […]Read On »
