Verity: Faking It (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In my review of The Housemaid last winter, I said that trashy novels can sometimes make entertaining movies. Verity is a much poorer example of that, I’m afraid. I started the book and found her writing unreadable, but that’s not a disqualifier for a movie. In fact, it’s the best film ever made from a Colleen Hoover novel, for what that’s worth. Largely, that’s down to two of the performances. If you haven’t read the book, the movie begins with unsuccessful published novelist Lowen Ashleigh (Dak
Forgotten Island: Pinay Power (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Perhaps you’re Filipino and you watched KPop Demon Hunters while wondering why Hollywood couldn’t make an animated movie that brings your underrepresented culture to a mass American audience. If so, I’m here to tell you that your wait is over. That movie is Forgotten Island, and it opens this week. Then again, perhaps you’re not Filipino — guilty, though other Asian people have mistaken me for such. In that case, I’m here to tell you that this movie throws you in the deep end and dares you to si
Primetime: An Actor Prepares (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I think I have it now. Robert Pattinson wasn’t made to play heroes, even though he gets cast that way because of how he looks. He’s much better when he’s playing guys who are weak (The Drama), crazy (The Lighthouse), overconfident (The King), obsessive (Damsel), or just stupid (Mickey 17). Male fragility is precisely where he is strongest, and the latest piece of evidence is in Primetime, which gives him a role that suits him unlike any other. He portrays NBC reporter Chris Hansen as a preening,
Resident Evil: Raccoon City Stomp (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I never played any of the Resident Evil video games, but I did watch every single one of the movies, including the justly maligned 2021 attempted reboot Welcome to Raccoon City. I find that I remember only two things from the entire series: the red dress that Milla Jovovich frequently wears, and the laser grid that kills her team in the original. That is a weak return for seven films. Therefore, you won’t be surprised to learn that the re-reboot Resident Evil clears the low bar of being the best
Appari-Shaun (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s past time that I wrote about Shaun the Sheep, don’t you think? The adorable and highly tech-savvy sheep made his debut in Nick Park’s Oscar-winning 1995 stop-motion short film A Close Shave and has since embarked on a successful solo career. He has been absent from the big screen since 2015’s The Shaun the Sheep Movie — 2019’s Shaun the Sheep: Farmageddon was relegated to Netflix, and his TV series is still running. (He even has a video game.) However, now he’s back in our multiplexes with
