Movie Review: Jurassic World—Dominion
4 stars out of 5Spoiler alert: This whole movie is about Liz Cheney and her Deep State cronies hiding all the compromised Dominion voting machines on Isla Nublar where they’re attacked by velociraptors and the TRUTH. OK, no, it’s just another installment in the Jurassic Park/World series, and if we can believe the hype, it’s […]

Movie Review: Montana Story
4 stars out of 5Maybe you have a work husband or work wife. Back in 2012–13, I had an unemployment wife. Laid-off Lex and I would go to the movies, often ending up at the Crocodile Lounge on 14th Street where you’d get a free pizza with every drink. (Toppings extra.) One of the movies […]

Movie Review: The Bob’s Burgers Movie
4 stars out of 5 In its decade-plus on the air, Bob’s Burgers has never reached the giddy pop-culture heights of The Simpsons, South Park, and that one with the sassy baby and the dog. But, like King of the Hill before it, Bob’s is one of those IYKYK deals, with a secret society of […]

Movie Review: Happening
4.5 stars out of 5Hmm, how to get Kavanaugh, Coney Barrett, Thomas, Gorsuch, and Alito to see this movie? Because they really need to. And yet, are any of them bright enough to read subtitles? Happening is a French film which takes place in 1963, though it may as well be Red State America, fall […]
Movie Review: Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
