Reviews
-

David Harbour's weapon-wielding Santa could open the door to a new kind of down-and-dirty Christmas/action hybrid.
-
‘Spoiler Alert’
This funny-sad rom-com is a strangely, stubbornly conventional treatment of Michael Ausiello's memoir.
-
‘The Fabelmans’
Steven Spielberg gets personal in this self-portrait, crafting a loving homage to his complicated relationship with his parents.
-
‘Bones and All’
It's a modified vampire film, a romance and a Timothée Chalamet fashion show. But mostly it's a dull ramble.
-
‘Willow’

Megan Thee Stallion's "Traumazine" goes lighter on her trademark sensuality and humor as it deals with well-known career and personal drama.

Noah Cyrus’ ‘The Hardest Part’

-
‘The Piano Lesson’
Samuel L. Jackson, John David Washington and Danielle Brooks lead the cast of "The Piano Lesson," August Wilson's story of a family haunted by ghosts of the past.
-
‘Funny Girl’
Lea Michele gives this 'Funny Girl' what the revival previously lacked: charisma, astonishing vocals and assuredness — not to mention a killer fan base.
-
‘The Devil Wears Prada’
"Devil Wears Prada," the Broadway-bound new musical, now premiering in Chicago, needs to take a cue from Miranda Priestly and get meaner.
-
‘The Kite Runner’
Starring Amir Arison, this stage adaptation of Khaled Hosseini's novel is a heartbreaker -- but so uplifting, it's worth the pain.
