2024/11/29

Just a quick Black Friday pop-in here at Breakfast All Day to provide you with some entertainment while you're out hunting for savings. First, we review "Queer," starring Daniel Craig as a gay man looking for love, inspiration and his next drug hit in 1950s Mexico City. Craig is marvelously funny and vulnerable here in the second movie of the year from the great Luca Guadagnino, following "Challengers." Drew Starkey and Jason Schwartzman co-star. In theaters now in limited release. Then, of course

2024/11/27

It's our 500th episode! And this brief, mid-week pop-in is a great example of the wide range of films we like to cover here at Breakfast All Day. First, we review "Moana 2," the sequel to the 2016 Disney Animation hit. Auli'i Cravalho and Dwayne Johnson return for more ocean adventures and more monstrous foes. It's gorgeous, but the songs aren't nearly as good as they were in the original "Moana" without Lin-Manuel Miranda's touch. In theaters. Then we discuss "Maria," starring Angelina Jolie as

2024/11/23

We've already reviewed the two big movies of the week -- "Wicked" and "Gladiator II" -- so we turned to a couple of new movies streaming on Netflix on the latest episode of Breakfast All Day. The first is "Spellbound," an animated, musical fairy tale starring Rachel Zegler as a teenage princess trying to save her parents, the king and queen, who've been turned into monsters. It's colorful and vibrant but unoriginal, and the songs from the legendary composer Alan Menken are just so-so. Nicole

It's Blockbuster Tuesday for a change, with just an aroma of the arthouse on this midweek edition of Breakfast All Day. First, we have an early, spoiler-free review of "Wicked," the much-anticipated film version of the beloved Broadway musical. It doesn't come out until this weekend but we wanted to talk about Jon M. Chu's film as soon as we could. Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande star in this prequel to "The Wizard of Oz," which is 2 hours and 40 minutes long -- and it's only part one! Part two

We never disagree this much, but two new Christmas movies have inspired very different opinions from us on the latest episode of Breakfast All Day. First, we review "Red One," starring Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans as the only two people on the planet who can save Santa Claus (J.K. Simmons) when he's kidnapped. This is a $250 million blockbuster featuring major, A-list stars, but it's not exactly shaping up to be a huge hit. Do you plan on seeing it? Let us know. It's in theaters now. Then, we

It's your usual Arthouse Tuesday with a massive wallop of a blockbuster at the front end. Like we like to say around here, we do it all at Breakfast All Day. We begin with a super-early review of "Gladiator II," Ridley Scott's follow-up to his 2000 best-picture Oscar winner. Paul Mescal, Pedro Pascal, Denzel Washington, Joseph Quinn, Fred Hechinger and Connie Nielsen star in this sweeping historical epic. This is a spoiler-free review. In theaters Nov. 22.

Sometimes we have these little theme weeks totally by accident. This time on Breakfast All Day, we review two indies that contemplate the power of religion in very different ways. First, we discuss "Heretic," a twisty thriller from A24 starring Hugh Grant in a deliciously villainous role. When two young Mormon missionaries knock on his door, hoping to convert him, he ends up giving them a lot to think about instead. Sophie Thatcher and Chloe East co-star. In theaters. Then, we review "Small Things

It's Election Day in the United States -- a crazy, stressful day for so many people -- but we wanted to take a moment here at Breakfast All Day to check in, say hello and share a couple of film reviews in case you need a break from thinking about politics. First, we discuss "Emilia Pérez," a Spanish-language musical from French filmmaker Jacques Audiard. It was a major award winner at the Cannes Film Festival this year, and it's France's Oscar entry in the international feature category. But while

We begin November with an absolutely packed episode of movie reviews and news here at Breakfast All Day. First, we discuss the worst of this week's new movies: "Here," which reunites the director, writer and stars of "Forrest Gump." The idea behind Robert Zemeckis' film, based on a graphic novel, had potential: The camera doesn't move the whole time as we watch peoples' lives play out over centuries and decades. Among them are Tom Hanks and Robin Wright's characters, stuck as everyone is in the

2024/10/29

It's Halloween Week, so we've got a combination of serial killers, zombie pirates and frightening '70s and '80s fashion here at Breakfast All Day. First, we catch up with Anna Kendrick's gripping thriller "Woman of the Hour." Kendrick directs for the first time and stars in this drama inspired by serial killer Rodney Alcala's appearance as a contestant on "The Dating Game" in the middle of his 1970s crime spree. It's streaming now on Netflix. Then, we're delighted to share the review we recorded

2024/10/26

Such a random mix of movies this week, but there's nowhere we'd rather talk about them than here with you on Breakfast All Day. We begin with "Venom: The Last Dance," the third film in the Spider-Man spin-off franchise and easily the worst. It's fun when Tom Hardy's bickering and bantering with his gooey BFF, but that's about it. In theaters. Then we discuss "Conclave," a star-studded airport novel brought to the big screen. It has the sheen of prestige but it's actually well-crafted trash. Ralph

We're kinda scattered all over the place this week, but we'll always come back to you here at Breakfast All Day. Between Christy's jury duty and travel for both of us, we tried to squeeze in as many reviews as we could. And they're super random! First, our good friend Bibbs returns to help Christy with a review of "Smile 2," the sequel to the 2022 horror hit "Smile." Naomi Scott is tremendous as a pop star possessed by the evil smiley-face spirit, just as she's about to launch a world tour. Not

We're out in the wilderness for our latest episode of Breakfast All Day, so apologies in advance if the sound quality is a little wonky. Christy's wi-fi went out right as we were about to do our weekly livestream, so she dashed over to the library to use theirs. Still, we have lots of goodies for you. First, we review "We Live in Time," a nonlinear A24 weepy starring Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield. We're mixed on it. It's in limited release now and opening wider Oct. 18. Next, we review "The

It's one of our weirder Arthouse Tuesdays here at Breakfast All Day. First, we catch up with "The Outrun," starring a searing Saoirse Ronan as a young woman struggling with alcoholism and searching for her place in the world. It's excellent, and it's playing in theaters now. Then, the great Dave White (Alonso's husband) shares his horror insights in our review of "Terrifier 3." We'd never seen the first two "Terrifier" movies, but we'd heard the buzz about Art the Clown's gory exploits. Plus it's a

We're far from the shallow now as we enter fall movie season in earnest here at Breakfast All Day. First, we review the much-anticipated and highly polarizing "Joker: Folie à Deux." Todd Phillips' sequel to his Oscar-winning 2019 drama "Joker" finds Joaquin Phoenix returning to the Batman villain role with Lady Gaga at his side as Harley Quinn. And did we mention that it's a musical? This is a spoiler-free review, but we're hoping to do a live spoiler chat soon, so keep an eye out for details. In

There's a sneaky little theme that unites the two movies we review on the latest episode of Breakfast All Day: They both feature impressive, A-list casts, and you can watch both of them right now on streaming. First, we discuss "Wolfs," an action comedy in which Brad Pitt and George Clooney play New York City fixers forced to team up on a wintry, all-night adventure. The film from writer-director Jon Watts mostly coasts on the considerable charm of its handsome actors. In select theaters and

It's a quick but nourishing midweek serving of Breakfast All Day. We have early reviews of two big movies that are opening this weekend. First, we couldn't wait to talk about "Megalopolis," Francis Ford Coppola's long-gestating sci-fi epic. We're extremely mixed on it, but that feels fitting, given the big, ambitious swings the movie is taking. Adam Driver, Nathalie Emmanuel, Aubrey Plaza, Giancarlo Esposito, Shia LaBeouf and Kathryn Hunter are among the massive ensemble cast. Then, we review "The

We're always more than meets the eye here at Breakfast All Day. First, we're split on "Transformers One," the animated prequel that explores the friendship that once existed between Optimus Prime and Megatron. Chris Hemsworth, Brian Tyree Henry and Scarlett Johansson are among the all-star cast. In theaters. Then, we review "His Three Daughters," an indie drama that features incredible performances from Carrie Coon, Elizabeth Olsen and Natasha Lyonne as estranged sisters dealing with their father's

2024/09/18

It's the arthousiest of Arthouse Tuesdays here at Breakfast All Day. It's also one of those weeks where we wind up with a theme: Both movies we review are about people who undergo radical transformations to become more beautiful and youthful versions of themselves. And both are in theaters this Friday, Sept. 20. We loved "The Substance," in which Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley play two versions of the same ambitious starlet. Writer-director Coralie Fargeat's thriller is so insane that we did a
