Aline The movie “Aline” is “inspired” by Celine Dion’s life, and around ten minutes in there’s a moment so horrifyingly nonsensical that it never gets better. I personally never recovered. It was such a bewildering choice that for the rest of the movie I couldn’t stop asking myself why it had been made did they […]
Aliens of the Deep The “Aliens of the Deep” is perfectly timed. It’s being shown in theaters only days after a spacecraft successfully landed on Titan, one of Saturn’s moons, and sent back some sensational pictures of its surface.

Alcarràs Simón’s second feature, “Alcarràs” starts with a few static shots to show the beauty of its farmland setting. But for me it all started much earlier, during a moment that reads like a premonition of the beginning of the end of their way of life. Iris (Ainet Jounou), one of three daughters in a
Alex Cross Oh, indeed, Alex Cross is a wondrous detective. In “Alex Cross,” his intuition could be called Sherlockian if the movie were based on a James Patterson novel but it isn’t. It’s based only on the character from “Kiss the Girls” (1997) and “Along Came a Spider” (2001), both played by Morgan Freeman. This
Alex Strangelove When it comes to Netflix original movies such as “The Kissing Booth,” “Dude,” and “Candy Jar,” you’re probably going to love “Alex Strangelove.” But if you don’t even have nostalgia for those titles from two weeks ago, you might not be a teenager, and you may not have noticed that Netflix is trying
