in NewPost‘Michael’ review: Michael Jackson biopic is painfully bad
movie review MICHAEL Running time: 127 minutes. Rated PG-13 (thematic material, language, smoking). In theaters. This is it? How flabbergasting to see “Michael,” the new biopic about Michael Jackson, the best-selling solo artist of all time, crash and burn into such a cheap and embarrassing bore. Say what you will about Michael Jackson — and […] More

‘Baby Reindeer’ creator Richard Gadd’s next show ‘Half Man’ is brutal: review
He’s the man. “Baby Reindeer” creator/star Richard Gadd is back with another show — and it’s brutal. Called “Half Man,” the six episode limited HBO series is a gnarly watch that’s hard to stomach at times, but it’s riveting, provocative, and filled with searing performances. It should sweep the Emmys, just like “Baby Reindeer” did. […] More

‘Schmigadoon!’ review: Tired parody of Broadway’s Golden Age is been there, ‘doon that
Theater review SCHMIGADOON! Two hours and 30 minutes, with one intermission. At the Nederlander Theatre, 208 West 41st Street In the early aughts, it was all the rage on Broadway for musicals to send up other musicals. First there was “Urinetown” and “The Drowsy Chaperone,” two nerdy parodies that were very funny and had teeth. […] More

‘Schmigadoon!’ Broadway Review: Musical With Enough Corn Puddin’ For All
Titaníque is more outlandish (and funnier), Something Rotten! was sharper (and funnier) and Smash, well, Smash was none of those. Taking a comfortable, crowd-satisfying spot somewhere in the middle of recent (or recentish) stage musicals that mock stage musicals (and Titaníque qualifies for its ad-lib Just In Time or Two Strangers excursions), Schmigadoon!, based on […] More

‘Fallen Angels’ Broadway Review: Rose Byrne, Kelli O’Hara Are Absolutely Fabulous
Noël Coward’s delightful, rarely produced 1925 comedy Fallen Angels is the sort of Broadway fare that gives critics ample reason to use descriptors like “fizzy” and “intoxicating” and “dizzying,” all apt in capturing the pleasures of its airy sophistication and raucous, gutbucket smart, rich-ladies-get-drunk laughs. What was true in the Jazz Age remains so, as […] More

‘Proof’ Review: ‘The Bear’ Star Ayo Edebiri Serves Up Transfixing Broadway Debut
You don’t have to come equipped with a knowledge of super-advanced mathematics, or even know what two-plus-two equals, to grasp, from the very start of Thomas Kail’s new revival of David Auburn’s Proof, that Ayo Edebiri, so good on TV’s restaurant drama (or comedy?) The Bear, and the Oscar-winning Don Cheadle are about to make […] More

‘Lee Cronin’s The Mummy’ review: fresh, frightening take on a classic movie monster
We know what you’re thinking: who the heck is Lee Cronin and why should we care about his mum? Long story short: it seems there are so many movies about the titular creature that the director’s name has been appended to differentiate this one from all the others. And – to answer your other question […] More

‘The Mummy’ review: Gross horror flick is just ‘The Exorcist’ with gauze
movie review LEE CRONIN’S THE MUMMY Running time: 133 minutes. Rated R (gore, brief drug use, language, strong violent content). In theaters. I never thought I’d miss the Scorpion King. But as gallons of oily vomit spewed and bloody skin got gruesomely peeled off a girl’s leg in “Lee Cronin’s The Mummy,” The Rock’s rocky […] More

‘The Mummy’ Review: Lee Cronin’s Take Fiendish But Not Distinctive
Irish filmmaker Lee Cronin has now revitalized two horror franchises that both deal with the villainous undead. In both Evil Dead Rise and The Mummy, Cronin displays a curiosity for using these tropes to display the rot at the heart of the nuclear family unit. In the former, it was clear that Cronin has taken […] More

‘The Fear Of 13’ Broadway Review: Adrien Brody And Justice Long Delayed
Adrien Brody and Tessa Thompson make affecting Broadway debuts in The Fear of 13, Lindsey Ferrentino’s based-on-a-true-story play about a falsely accused death row inmate and the woman who loves him from the other side of the bullet-proof glass. Alternately intense and tender, Brody’s Olivier-winning performance, despite some choices that can feel a bit like […] More

‘Mother Mary’ Review: Pop Star Anne Hathaway And Michaela Coel Find Spiritual Reawakening In David Lowery’s Moody Ode To Madonna And Other Icons
Don’t let the title fool you. Mother Mary is defiantly not the latest in a long line of Hollywood’s biblical epics, but instead an exploration of spirituality and reawakening in the life of a mega-pop star who may be part Beyonce, part Taylor Swift, part Lady Gaga, but certainly mostly an ode to Madonna, or […] More
