Kaley Cuoco and Pete Davidson headline this ‘Groundhog Day’-on-acid rom-com from camera operator-turned-director Alex Lehmann. Essentially just a vehicle for Cuoco to strut her acting chops (which are, surprisingly, considerable, given her decade-plus on the awful ‘The Big Bang Theory’), it’s a quirky and only occasionally maddening Indie darling.

For a company built on the spirit of imagination and creativity, Disney sure has had its share of unoriginal clunkers recently, particularly in the live-action department. Hot on the heels of last summer’s awful ‘Cruella’, we now get Robert Zemeckis’ update of ‘Pinocchio’. I’m not sure anyone asked for it, […]

You would be wrong. Director Ed Perkins’ fascinating narrator-less documentary tracks her existence from the beginning of […]

The always-on Jamie Foxx stars as lone-wolf vampire hunter Bud in the directorial debut of longtime stunt coordinator J.J. Perry (‘The Fast and the Furious’, ‘John WIck’). Supremely stylized to match ifs SoCal locale, the film is a bloody good time, particularly once Bud is reluctantly paired up with a […]
