Breakfast All Day movie reviews
An incredibly random mix of movies this week, but hopefully we have a little something for everyone here at Breakfast All Day. Think of it as a Thanksgiving buffet for your ears: WICKED: FOR GOOD: We do not agree at all on the second half of "Wicked," based on the Broadway musical. But we wanted to review it as early as we could, so here we are, putting one foot in front of the other on the Yellow Brick Road. Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande co-star. In theaters Nov. 21. KEEPER (NO Spoilers!): The latest nightmare fuel from Osgood Perkins has been in theaters for a few days, so we wanted...

It's a huge weekend at the movies! Here's what we reviewed for you in the latest episode of our Breakfast All Day podcast: PREDATOR: BADLANDS: We were shocked at how much we enjoyed this. It's a blast of a summer popcorn movie, dropped right in the middle of prestige movie season. And you don't need to know much about the Predator franchise going into it. (FYI, some light spoilers here.) In theaters. SENTIMENTAL VALUE: A major awards contender, and possibly the best movie of the year (according to Christy, at least). The latest from director and co-writer Joachim Trier ("The Worst Person...

All treats and no tricks for you in this packed Halloween edition of Breakfast All Day. Here's what we've got: NOUVELLE VAGUE: Richard Linklater recreates the making of the French New Wave classic "Breathless" with a movie that looks like it could have come out in 1960, as well. You don't need to know anything about Jean-Luc Godard, or Jean Seberg, or Jean-Paul Belmondo to enjoy this affectionate and humorous homage, but there are Easter eggs galore if you do. In theaters before streaming on Netflix Nov 14. SHELBY OAKS (With William Bibbiani): Our good friend Bibbs joins in on a review of...

It's a big week with much-anticipated movies and old friends stopping by to discuss them on Breakfast All Day. These are extra long reviews, so get comfy: SPRINGSTEEN: DELIVER ME FROM NOWHERE: Our dear, old friend and former co-host Ben Mankiewicz of Turner Classic Movies, who also happens to be a Bruce Springsteen superfan, shares his thoughts. All three of us have very different opinions of this movie, but we agree that Jeremy Allen White is great in it as The Boss. In theaters. BUGONIA: The always insightful Tim Grierson from Screen International sits in for Alonso on the new Yorgos...

A quick but thrilling episode to end your week here at Breakfast All Day. First, we review "Black Phone 2," the sequel to 2022's "The Black Phone," and who among us expected we'd be getting one of those? Ethan Hawke returns to make more obscene phone calls. In theaters. Then, the always brilliant Katie Walsh fills in for Alonso on a review of "Frankenstein." This is the movie Guillermo del Toro has wanted to make his entire life, and it's everything you'd imagine it would be. Oscar Isaac, Jacob Elordi and Mia Goth star. In select theaters now before streaming on Netflix Nov. 7. No movie news...

We're continuing to blaze a trail through the many, many movies opening on October 10 here at Breakfast All Day. Earlier this week, we reviewed TRON: ARES, A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE and KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN. Today, we discussed: ROOFMAN: Channing Tatum is ridiculously charming as a robber who escapes from prison and hides inside a Toys "R" Us store for six months. This actually happened. We enjoyed Tatum's performance, and the cast is strong, but the tone is off from indie director Derek Cianfrance. In theaters. URCHIN: Harris Dickinson makes an auspicious filmmaking debut with this...

October 10 is such an insanely packed week that we wanted to review a few of the new releases a little early here at Breakfast All Day: TRON: ARES: The third movie in the "Tron" series has a dopey script but extremely cool visual effects and a great soundtrack from Nine Inch Nails. See it on a giant screen and pretend you're watching a two-hour music video. Jared Leto, Greta Lee and Evan Peters star. In theaters this weekend. A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE: Kathryn Bigelow is back with a sharp, tense tale about what happens when an unknown country launches a nuclear strike against the United States....

We'll spin around and wag our tails for a treat -- we're kinda shameless that way here at Breakfast All Day. October begins with reviews of three very different films: GOOD BOY, a lean and clever horror movie told from a dog's perspective. Indy, who's director and co-writer Ben Leonberg's own retriever, is actually the best boy. And in case you're worried: He's OK at the end. In theaters. PLAY DIRTY, a listless action comedy from director and co-writer Shane Black, who's had a much better track record with this kind of movie in the past ("Kiss Kiss Bang Bang," "The Nice Guys"). Mark Wahlberg...

It's a huge weekend at the movies! Here's what we reviewed for you in the latest episode of our Breakfast All Day podcast:
-
PREDATOR: BADLANDS: We were shocked at how much we enjoyed this. It's a blast of a summer popcorn movie, dropped right in the middle of prestige movie season. And you don't need to know much about the Predator franchise going into it. (FYI, some light spoilers here.) In theaters.
-
SENTIMENTAL VALUE: A major awards contender, and possibly the best movie of the year (according to Christy, at least). The latest from director and co-writer Joachim Trier ("The Worst Person in the World") is a moving family drama starring Stellan Skarsgård and Renate Reinsve. In theaters.
-
DIE MY LOVE: Jennifer Lawrence absolutely goes for it in this harrowing story of post-partum depression. Director Lynne Ramsay puts Lawrence through the wringer in her role as a new mom navigating the isolation of a Montana farmhouse. Robert Pattinson co-stars as her husband. In theaters.
-
CHRISTY: Of course we had to review this. Sydney Sweeney transforms herself to play Christy Martin, the coal miner's daughter who became a trailblazer in the world of women's boxing. Ben Foster is chilling as her abusive trainer and husband. But this is a pretty standard sports biopic. In theaters.
No movie news livestream this week because Christy is traveling. Come back and see us at our YouTube channel next Friday, Nov. 14 at Noon Pacific. Have a great weekend!
