Got it give it to NEON. I almost considered seeing this and I never see horror in theaters.

You don't need charts and breakdowns of Xbox's new Game Pass tiers to see what's happening here: things that cost more and work for you less, because everything is rotting from the top

Agreed that "The Rainbow Fish" is terrible, but it has nothing on the nightmare scenario of dysfunctional matriarchal stalking and infantilization that is "I'll Love You Forever." One bedtime read and my kids begged us not to bring it up it ever again.

To all my friends: please, please start taking steps now to make sure you have a plan in place for what happens if you are hospitalized, deeply ill, unable to make decisions for yourself, or God forbid, die or are in danger of it.

I put Summer of Mike* on hold to find out if Michael Paré (Tom Cody himself) would talk to me about the 40th anniversary of STREETS OF FIRE, a movie I’m unhealthily obsessed with. He said yes. We talked a long time and it … went places bit.ly/3L7TdBx

The biggest question I have after watching A Quiet Place: Day One is whether or not the movie earns the Jazz Bar sequence. I wasn’t completely smitten by it, but I think the reaction to it determines the overall likability of the movie.

I really liked the new Quiet Place movie. You absolutely do not need to see the previous ones (and maybe you are better off). Can’t imagine they do A Quiet Place Part 3 with Blunt and company.

I caught up with June Squibb's THELMA today. Squibb and the late Richard Roundtree are great together, but I thought it was mostly fine.
