Still from The Milagro Beanfield War: Christopher Walken and a sheriff sit on a grassy hillside
The Milagro Beanfield War Happy Cinco de Mayo! If you celebrate this Mexican holiday or just want to find a good Latinx film to enjoy tonight, The Milagro Beanfield War will delight and intrigue.  Even though it's from the 80s, the film still resonates with important racial themes, and a strong message about the importance of family and community. There's a little bit of...well, magic thrown in for fun. It's a good film to talk about after. RunPee Recommended! Movie Grade: A++ Read more

Still from Separation: a pale, contorted creature in a striped outfit crawls by a staircaseNEW Movie - Separation Separation was a big flop. I really tried to like this movie, but couldn't find one single thing to like about it. Sometimes a horror movie misses the boat entirely. Oh well. Grade: D
Still from Greenland: a man and woman clutch their child under a fiery orange skyReview & Analysis: Using Greenland as a model for how to make a good disaster movie A disaster movie that was, surprisingly, not a disaster. The creators of Greenland avoid the temptation to turn every possible scene into a mini-disaster, which elevates the drama and believability of the movie as a whole. Grade: B+
Disney female villanEvery Disney Princess Movie Obsessed with Mommy Problems (and 3 that aren’t) With Mother's Day coming this weekend (!!!), we thought we'd remind you to appreciate your mother...because it could be worse... ;-)

Poster for Coco: Miguel and Héctor play guitars on a marigold bridge with the dog DanteCinco de Mayo Family Friendly Movie - Coco This is a movie that anyone who values their family should see. If you’re having a rough go of it with your family, go watch Coco. If you’re as close to them as possible, go watch Coco. I assure you, you will not leave disappointed. A top choice from Pixar/Disney with glorious Day of the Dead imagery to enchant you. Movie Grade: A
Poster for The Empire Strikes Back: Han and Leia embrace beneath Darth Vader's looming helmetClassic Movie Review – The Empire Strikes Back Happy Star Wars Day! Granted, that was technically yesterday -- May the Fourth (get it, May the Force...) -- but we also have Revenge of the Sixth coming up tomorrow. So get your Star Wars on with Empire: the top, numero uno, absolutely uncontested best movie in a galaxy far away. And always remember: the proper response to "I love you," is "I know." If you still want to get in on Star Wars Day fun, warm up those lightsabers and toast with blue milk. Movie Grade: A++
