Movie Review: The Friend
3.5 stars out of 5I’ll tell you what the ads won’t: Bill Murray is barely in this movie. His presence is in the movie, but the physical Bill — not so much. So if he’s your only reason for seeing it… don’t. For everyone else, this is a solid, slow-paced, grown-up movie about grief, loneliness, […]
Movie Review: Opus
2.5 stars out of 5This seemed up my alley: A reclusive pop star makes a comeback after 30 years. And the reclusive star is played by… John Malkovich! Oh, remember our carefree Malkovich Malkovich Malkovich days? We were so young and carefree! Could this offbeat film capture that old Charlie Kaufman-era magic? I would find […]

Movie Review: Black Bag
4 stars out of 5Since splashing onto the movie scene with 1989’s Sex, Lies, and Videotape, director Steven Soderbergh above all else seems to choose whatever project will be fun for him at a given time, regardless of genre. For Black Bag, he sinks his teeth into an old-fashioned drawing room whodunit. (“Someone in this […]
