‘Practical Magic 2’ sequel loses some of its spell (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Apparently I blinked and the 1998 chick flick âPractical Magicâ developed a huge cult following. The film, about witch sisters Sally (Sandra Bullock) and Gillian (Nicole Kidman) Owens, came out 28 years ago, made only $40 million at the domestic box office, scored a mere 31% on Rotten Tomatoes, and I canât recall ever hearing anyone speak affectionately about it. And yet not only was there a call for a sequel in 2026, the resulting film was the first to win a weekend over âSpider-Man: Br
‘By Any Means’ struggles to find its tone (opens the original)
Read excerpt
âBy Any Meansâ is a movie about two disparate FBI employees that canât decide if it wants to be a buddy-cop movie or not. The pair are mismatched, but are they âcomicallyâ mismatched? The pair banter, but is there enough banter to qualify for the buddy-cop label? Thereâs action, but is the action too violent and intense for a term as casual as âbuddy copâ? The result is an uneven tone that makes the movie too dark for matinee action fans and too ridiculous for true-crime aficiona
“Insidious: Out of the Further” (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The big drawback to getting in an advance review of âCoyote vs. Acmeâ last week is that âInsidious: Out of the Furtherâ is even less relevant this week. The horror film toppled from second place to fourth at the domestic box office, behind even the seventh weekend of âThe Odyssey,â while âSpider-Man: Brand New Dayâ continues to dominate at No. 1. Fortunately, that drawback is offset by the knowledge that the film was never worth much attention anyway. If thereâs one horror fran
‘The End of Oak Street’ delivers dinosaurs, but family drama falls short (opens the original)
Read excerpt
âThe End of Oak Streetâ is a creature feature about a seemingly idyllic suburban family that is secretly going through some hard times. Those times become more hard and less secret when their neighborhood is attacked by dinosaurs. Itâs like a âJurassic Parkâ movie, except it doesnât have to come up with a way for its characters to go to an island filled with dinosaurs â the dinosaurs conveniently come to them. Greg (Ewan McGregor) and Denise (Anne Hathaway) Platt raise their teenag
“Spider-Man: Brand New Day” (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When we last left Peter Parker aka Spider-Man (Tom Holland) back in 2021, he had to submit to a spell from Doctor Strange that would make the world forget he ever existed. His Aunt May (Marissa Tomei) had died, so he had no family left, but he had to watch his friends Ned (Jacob Batalon) and MJ (Zendaya) go off to college without him, blissfully unaware of what they meant to him. As we rejoin Peter in âSpider-Man: Brand New Day,â heâs mostly turned himself over to superhero work full time.
