Summer movie preview

Editor's note: The following is a list of summer movies Richard is looking forward to. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (May 6)  Feels like there's a multiverse of multiverses these days, and I fully expect to get lost in the weeds at some point during this latest chapter from

'The Northman' is a beautiful and violent saga

Robert Eggers' bloody and bone-cracking and yet beautiful Viking saga The Northman is set primarily in 10th-century Iceland - but every frame of this 137-minute epic makes us feel as if we've been plunged neck-deep into the violent dread of Dante's Seventh Circle of Hell. Even the kings and queens

Retro-cool

Within the first two minutes of the retro-cool and warmhearted animated crime-thriller spoof The Bad Guys, we can tell we're in for something refreshingly original - because those two minutes (and change) consist of a single, unbroken shot in a diner that is a clear homage to the prologue of

Back on track

The third time's the Disarming Charm.  That's one of the classes they teach in the second year at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, don't ya know, and while we take only a brief excursion to the future learning institution of Harry Potter and friends in Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets

'Morbius' underwhelms

All those movie Batmen have the impressive costumery, and in some cases the cool, bat-based toys, and those pricey Batcave living quarters, and sometimes there are even some actual bats hovering about - but as far as I can recall, none of 'em has ever injected himself with actual bat

'Bridgerton' is back

When you think about it, the Netflix original sensation that was Bridgerton is essentially a fictional, period-piece version of The Bachelor, what with all these impossibly good-looking, mostly shallow, gossip-mongering people - most of them never inconvenienced by a daily work schedule - gathering for another season of orchestrated romance,

'The Lost City' is over-the-top and silly

Let's start with the jumpsuit. The glittery, spangly, skintight, plunging-neckline, raspberry-colored jumpsuit Sandra Bullock sports throughout much of the loud and unfunny and flat and derivative Romancing the Stone knockoff The Lost City, as if she's wandered in from a mediocre 1980s sitcom. Bullock's Loretta Sage is wedged into that

'The Outfit' is gripping

In the late 1950s, the FBI planted a rudimentary listening device behind the radiator in a Michigan Avenue tailor shop often frequented by Chicago mob bosses, and thus gathered a wealth of information about notorious chiefs such as Sam Giancana and Anthony "Joe Batters" Accardo. The Chicago-born writer-director Graham Moore

'Winning Time' is big fun

It was Showtime, folks. The Los Angeles Lakers of the 1980s were the most glamorous organization in the history of American sports, from the immensely talented lineups led by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Earvin "Magic" Johnson that produced five NBA titles to the Hollywood stars in the stands (Hello, Jack!) to the

'The Batman'

'The Batman'

We're calling The Batman a superhero movie because it's another telling of the tale of one of the most iconic comic-book characters in American history - but in terms of tone and scope and storyline, Matt Reeves' reboot of the ever-fruitful franchise is more of a film noir than a

'Dog' has heart

From the ridiculously simple title to the elevator-pitch premise of Channing Tatum as a broken-down former Army Ranger who has to deliver a troublemaking retired military dog to the memorial service for the dog's human partner, we know exactly where Dog is going to take us; it's as predictable as

One-woman play is significant and commanding

GROUNDED is about coming down from the blue sky and into a drone's grey image on a computer screen. It is characterized by powerful and questioning dialogue from a chair on a stage that narrates a war that is very recent. A compelling one-woman presentation written by George Brant and produced

Uncharted is lost

After nearly a decade and a half in Development Purgatory, the movie adaptation of the popular video game franchise Uncharted finally hits big screens - and you'd think that somewhere along that 14-year timeline, they would have remembered to put an actual movie inside the movie. You know how they say
