Reviews

On this episode of The Hollywood Outsider podcast, we take listener questions, review Doctor Sleep, His Dark Materials, Terminator: Dark Fate, and more.

So much to behold in a deliciously ripe and venturesome world, His Dark Materials delivers on spectacular performances and production. Once you get past the initial lack of clarity regarding the ins and outs of this constructed world, you're in for a sinister treat.

In Rob Schulbaum's The Wrong Todd, Jesse Rosen stars as two men who swap places in alternate dimensions, all for the woman they both love.

Ewan McGregor stars as an adult Danny Torrance fighting to protect a fellow shiner from Rebecca Ferguson's Rose the Hat in Stephen King's Doctor Sleep.

Making Waves takes us through the cinematic adventure of creating and experiencing sound, while presenting a historically accurate timeline in film history.

A phenomenal cast, fantastic stunt choreography, and a societal and historically relevant narrative prove that HBO's Watchmen is anything but a joke.

Tallahassee, Columbus, Wichita, and Little Rock all return to once again fend off family squabbles and hordes of the undead in Zombieland: Double Tap.

In The Laundromat, a quality cast is betrayed by a clumsily assembled script in Soderbergh's documentary/dramedy hybrid approach to the Panama Papers.

In Gemini Man, Ang Lee and Will Smith deliver an entertaining enough romp through covered ground, though the effects at times rip us out of the proceedings.

Joaquin Phoenix stars as Arthur Fleck, a mentally unstable comedian whose descent ultimately leads us to an origin story for DC's Joker.
