The latest epic in the Marvel film canon, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, delivers the goods on so many levels one might need the skill of the good doctor himself to be able to navigate them all effectively.
This time around, Stephen Strange finds himself pitted against an adversary intent on unlocking (and subsequently destabilizing) the Multiverse. To stop this cataclysmic event from occurring, Dr. Strange seeks the helps of both old and new allies as he, himself traverses these alternate realities in an effort to restore order to the Multiverse.
Replacing Scott Derrickson (who helmed the first film in 2016) as director, Sam Raimi brings the “horror” vibe in spades to the table with this second film. Fans of Raimi’s “Evil Dead” films will be thrilled with the numerous nods (stay through until the end of the credits) to that series as well as the stylistic flourishes...

There’s a right way to be single, a wrong way to be single, and then…there’s Alice. And Robin. Lucy. Meg. Tom. David. New York City is full of lonely hearts seeking the right match, be it a love connection, a hook-up, or something in the middle. And somewhere between the teasing texts and one-night stands, what these unmarrieds all have in common is the need to learn how to be single in a world filled with ever-evolving definitions of love. Sleeping around in the city that never sleeps was never so much fun.

As Will Gluck's new film version of "Annie" opens, an adorable red-haired moppet stands in front of her class reading a plucky book report. As she finishes, her teacher rolls his eyes and calls on the next student, Annie B. With that very post-modern move, things are handed over to Quvenzhane Wallis, who approaches her first scene the way she approaches literally every single second of the film: big smile in place, bouncing rather than dancing, and sing-talking her way through songs that demand a much better singer. Harsh, perhaps, but from start to finish, "Annie" feels like a movie made by people who are deeply embarrassed to be working on a musical, and that's a problem. Wallis, who is an appealing young performer, simply doesn't have the chops for what has traditionally been one of the more demanding leads in a musical for a young performer, and Gluck,...

Annie Review 1 of 5

Lorem ipsum 1 of 5
When the first trailer for Sony’s remake of Annie hit the web, my gut response was to involuntarily cringe in my seat. The brightly colored preview hit every wrong note for me, promising a traditional take on the play peppered with kid-friendly (read: unsubtle and forced) jokes and heavily auto-tuned musical numbers. So, admittedly, it wasn’t with great enthusiasm that I finally sat down to watch the final product.
Don’t get me wrong – I’m not someone who usually recoils from song-and-dance productions, or someone who haughtily looks down upon those movies that try their damnedest to leave you tapping your toes with a big, stupid grin on your face. What I am, however, is someone who’ll defend until my dying breath the importance of being earnest. And that is one trait that this new Annie lacks almost entirely.
