Breakfast All Day movie reviews
It's quiet lately as we recover from the Oscars here at Breakfast All Day. We reviewed the week's big, new movie, "Project Hail Mary" in an earlier episode. And we didn't do our usual Friday livestream because of some schedule juggling. BUT! We did review "Ready or Not 2: Here I Come," the sequel to the 2019 horror comedy hit "Ready or Not." Can you believe there are more Satan-worshipping billionaires trying to kill Samara Weaving? That's in theaters this weekend. And we touched on a few news items off the top, including the big box office opening for "Project Hail Mary," new trailers...

There was so much to talk about at this year's Oscars that we wanted to come back the next day for more. This is the audio of the we did on our Breakfast All Day YouTube channel. How accurately did you pick the winners? Did you have "One Battle After Another" or "Sinners" for best picture? And what did you think of the speeches, the gowns, and Conan's wacky sketches? (We did enjoy his Aunt Gladys opening.) Thanks so much for spending awards season with us and sharing your insights! And if you'd like to see us in person, we're showing 1985's "After Hours" at the Gardena Cinema this...

We're taking it easy as we head into this busy Oscar weekend at Breakfast All Day. Here's what we reviewed in our latest episode: PROJECT HAIL MARY. This is a super-early review of the Ryan Gosling-in-space comedy, which doesn't even come out until March 20. But there's so much expectation for it, we wanted to share our throughts as soon as we could. Phil Lord and Christopher Miller direct from a script by Drew Goddard, based on the Andy Weir novel. In theaters next weekend. IT'S DOROTHY! This documentary provides a fresh and clever perspective on the character of Dorothy Gale and the...

It's one of our favorite days during awards season: when our great friend Glenn Whipp of the Los Angeles Times joins us to help out with Oscar picks. Glenn covers awards races year-round, and always has lots of insider insight. The three of us don't agree on everything -- we're split on best picture, for example -- but other categories like best actress seem pretty clear at this point. What do you hope to see win? What do you think will win? And are those the same thing? . Bring it with you on Sunday night, when we'll be doing out annual Oscar livestream. We'll be at our Breakfast All Day...

It's an absolutely packed episode a week away from the Oscars. We're playing some catch-up with nominees and we've got one monster of a new release. Here's what we have for you: THE BRIDE! That exclamation point says it all. Writer-director Maggie Gyllenhaal's wild and bold update of "The Bride of Frankenstein" mixes tones and genres in a way that's dividing critics (including us). Jessie Buckley and Christian Bale co-star. In theaters. THE VOICE OF HIND RAJAB. The last of the five nominees in the best international feature category for us to discuss here. Tunisian filmmaker Kaouther Ben...

The end of February is a cinematic wasteland -- you're better off catching up with Oscar nominees -- but if you'd like to see a new movie, we've got you covered here at Breakfast All Day. Here's what we reviewed on our latest episode. SCREAM 7. It's the seventh "Scream" movie, so you can imagine how totally bereft of fresh ideas they are by now. But hey, Neve Campbell is back. This is a non-spoiler review. In theaters. IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE. Legendary Pixar director Andrew Stanton ("Finding Nemo," "WALL-E") makes a rare live-action movie: a maudlin slog about intertwined lives across the...

We're taking care of business here at Breakfast All Day. Here's what we reviewed for you on our latest episode: EPiC: ELVIS PRESLEY IN CONCERT. Baz Luhrmann digs through the archives to find 59 hours of never-before-seen footage from Elvis Presley's Las Vegas run. The results are thrilling. Whether or not you're a massive Elvis fan, you'll come away with an appreciation for his singular showmanship: They don't call him The King for nothing. Playing exclusively in IMAX for the next week (which is really how you should see it) before opening on more screens Feb. 27. NIRVANNA THE BAND THE...

Nice to see you on this mid-week pop-in here at Breakfast All Day. Here's what we've got for you on our latest episode: HOW TO MAKE A KILLING. Glen Powell leads an all-star cast in this dark comedy from writer-director John Patton Ford ("Emily the Criminal"). He plays the son of a disowned heiress who schemes to kill all the family members ahead of him in line for a billion-dollar fortune. Margaret Qualley, Bill Camp, Jessica Henwick and Ed Harris co-star. In theaters Friday. LITTLE AMÉLIE OR THE CHARACTER OF RAIN. This gorgeous film is up for the Oscar for best animated feature, and...

Life is like a jam-packed, extremely random box of chocolates on this week's episode of Breakfast All Day. Here's what we reviewed: WUTHERING HEIGHTS. Emerald Fennell's 14-year-old-girl fanfic version of the classic Emily Brontë novel is high on style but low on substance. Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie are a gorgeous Heathcliff and Cathy, but there's not much tension between them. See it for the dresses, though. In theaters. GOOD LUCK, HAVE FUN, DON'T DIE. An inspired title for a blast of a movie. Gore Verbinski's time-travel action comedy is zany, but it also has something serious to...

It's Arthouse Tuesday on a Friday here at Breakfast All Day, with reviews of a couple awards contenders: PILLION. Harry Melling stars as a meek Brit who finds himself serving as the sub to Alexander Skarsgård's biker dom. Director Harry Lighton is up for a DGA award for best first feature. This is pretty graphic but it's also surprisingly sweet. In theaters. SIRĀT. Oliver Laxe's haunting and harrowing desert journey has been nominated for Academy Awards for best international feature and best sound. It follows a father searching for his daughter at a series of Moroccan raves. Warning: This...

It's an absolutely packed episode a week away from the Oscars. We're playing some catch-up with nominees and we've got one monster of a new release. Here's what we have for you:
-
THE BRIDE! That exclamation point says it all. Writer-director Maggie Gyllenhaal's wild and bold update of "The Bride of Frankenstein" mixes tones and genres in a way that's dividing critics (including us). Jessie Buckley and Christian Bale co-star. In theaters.
-
THE VOICE OF HIND RAJAB. The last of the five nominees in the best international feature category for us to discuss here. Tunisian filmmaker Kaouther Ben Hania mixes the real-life audio of a 5-year-old Palestinian trapped in a car in Gaza with actors playing the emergency operators on the other end of the line. We don't agree on this film, either, but it has moved many audiences deeply. Available for online rental.
-
THE PERFECT NEIGHBOR. Nominated for best documentary feature, this Netflix film is composed entirely of deputies' body cam footage of a neighborhood where a deadly shooting ripped the multicultural community apart. We think this is the front-runner for the Academy Award, if only because it's probably the one most people saw (plus, it's great). Streaming now.
-
MR. NOBODY AGAINST PUTIN. Russian school teacher Pavel Talankin bravely documents Putin's propagandist efforts to indoctrinate young minds at the start of the Ukraine invasion. You come to really care about him and the kids in his care, particularly the teens who are facing an uncertain future. This is also up for the best documentary feature Oscar. Available for online rental.
