Breakfast All Day movie reviews

Both movies we review on the latest episode of Breakfast All Day are about feuding -- totally by accident, but they offer an intriguing contrast. First, we have a major disagreement about "Civil War," the latest from "Ex Machina" writer-director Alex Garland. This graphic and harrowing thriller envisions an America in which sections have seceded and are attacking the federal government. Kirsten Dunst and Cailee Spaeny co-star; it's in theaters April 12. Then, we discuss a very different movie about squabbling: the charmingly profane and very British arthouse comedy "Wicked Little Letters," starring Olivia Colman and Jessie Buckley. It's in theaters now. And for our Patreon subscribers, we've started recapping "Shōgun" on Hulu after receiving so many requests for it. We recap the first two episodes and will share two more over the next few Tuesdays. Thanks for being here with us! * You can literally have Breakfast All Day with Lodge Cast Iron cookware.

It's spring break, but we're still here with a new episode of our Breakfast All Day podcast. So you've got that going for you, which is nice. This week, we review the documentary "Remembering Gene Wilder," which is a warm and affectionate look back at the legendary comic star of "Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory," "The Producers," "Blazing Saddles" and so many more. Our good friend Ben Mankiewicz is all over it, offering his insights. It's in theaters now and will be available on VOD starting April 30. We also play another round of our favorite game, "Was It Great or Were You 8?" This time, Christy chose "Caddyshack," the infinitely quotable comedy classic from 1980. Was this actually a great movie, or is she just remembering it fondly because of nostalgia? Let us know! For our Patreon subscribers, we're recapping the dazzling Netflix miniseries "Ripley," starring Andrew Scott as Patricia Highsmith's covetous grifter. All eight episodes are streaming, but we're taking them two at a time. Thanks for hanging out with us. And if you missed Christy's Spring Break Livestream from her ski vacation in Whistler, here's a link to it over at our YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/44ANofRqR-w?feature=share

Spring break is upon us, but we had to stop by for one last visit here at Breakfast All Day. Alonso is still recording his audiobook, so Christy did another solo edition of Movie News LIVE! Lots to talk about, including Yorgos Lanthimos' "Kinds of Kindness," "A Simple Favor 2," Jerry Seinfeld's Pop-Tarts movie and Jeremy Allen White possibly playing Bruce Springsteen in a "Nebraska"-inspired biopic. Then, the always delightful Dave White (a.k.a. Alonso's husband) filled in on a review on "Godzilla x Kong: A New Empire," which is exactly the kind of big, dumb fun you want from a monster movie like this. Dave is always witty and insightful, so you don't want to miss his appearance. We're sort of all over the place the next week or so, but we'll have another podcast episode for you next Friday. Until then, thanks so much for being here, and hope you're getting some much-needed time off, too!

It's another Arthouse Tuesday here at Breakfast All Day, with two movies from the daring folks at Neon. First, Christy and Alonso review Alice Rohrwacher's "La Chimera," starring Josh O'Connor as a grave robber with a magical ability to find hidden Etruscan artifacts. It's in theaters starting March 29. Then, Christy and the always entertaining Tim Grierson of Screen International offer a spoiler discussion of "Immaculate," the Sydney Sweeney horror movie that opened over the weekend. So much happens that we knew we had to go in-depth, especially on that shocking ending. Thanks for checking in with us!

It's the '80s all over again here at Breakfast All Day -- but then again, did it ever stop being the '80s? First, Christy and Alonso review "Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire," which is not good, but at least it does a better job of blending the old and the new than 2021's "Ghostbusters: Afterlife" did. It's in theaters. Then we review "Road House," a remake of the 1989 cult favorite with Jake Gyllenhaal taking over the Patrick Swayze role. It's streaming on Prime Video. Finally, our good friend Tim Grierson from Screen International fills in on a review of "Immaculate," the new Sydney Sweeney horror movie which makes being a nun in Italy seem super dangerous. It's in theaters. And we start the whole episode off as we always do on Fridays with Movie News LIVE! Christy flies solo this time while Alonso's off recording his audiobook. Among the topics of discussion are trailers for "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice," "Furiosa" and the "Star Wars" prequel series "The Acolyte." Thanks so much for sharing some of your time with us and have a great weekend.

Pain don't hurt when you're hanging out with us here at Breakfast All Day. We have a quick midweek pop-in for you with a couple of reviews. First, an early look at "Late Night With the Devil," a brilliantly executed indie horror movie that takes place within the confines of a 1970s TV studio. Longtime "that guy" David Dastmalchian is tremendous in a rare leading role. We also look back at 1989's "Road House" to see how it holds up, now that the remake is coming out on Prime Video. Jake Gyllenhaal takes over the Patrick Swayze role, and we'll have a review later this week. Is the original "Road House" so bad it's good, or just plain bad? Let us know! And thanks for sharing some of your time with us. * Our friends at Coffee Bros. have a couple of great new roasts you're going to want to try: Their first single-origin Sumatran coffee since 2022 and a very special Futuro Espresso from Brazil.

We have a wee pop-in for you here at Breakfast All Day on this Friday before St. Patrick's Day. Alonso and Christy review "Irish Wish," the latest Netflix rom-com starring Lindsay Lohan. This time, the Lohanaissance takes us to picturesque Ireland, and we were surprisingly charmed. But first we begin with a jam-packed live news segment, in which we discuss Jonathan Glazer, new movies from Ari Aster and Yorgos Lanthimos (both of which star Emma Stone), "The Bear" seasons 3 and 4, the death of World Party founder Karl Wallinger and more. And for our Patreon subscribers, a recap of the "Feud: Capote vs. The Swans" finale. Thanks for sharing your time and enthusiasm with us! * If you haven't checked out Christy's Saturday Matinee newsletter, now is a great time. It comes out every Saturday -- hence the name -- and contains goodies you won't get anywhere else. You can read, subscribe and share here: https://christylemire.beehiiv.com/

So much to discuss in the epic "Dune: Part Two" that we had to do an in-depth spoiler talk, and we were delighted to see so many of you there. In case you missed the livestream on our YouTube channel, here it is in podcast form. We get into everything we couldn't discuss in our spoiler-free review of Denis Villeneuve's sequel, including Paul's messiah arc, the terrifying Feyd-Rautha, those epic action sequences and that cliffhanger ending. Come back and hang out with us in the sparkly spice of Arrakis! And thanks for being a part of all we do.

We couldn't wait to meet up with you the morning after the Oscars to recap everything that happened during Sunday night's ceremony. All those "Oppenheimer" wins, John Cena's hilarious streaking bit, that dazzling "I'm Just Ken" performance, our favorite red carpet looks and more -- we get to it all in our livestream. In case you missed it, here it is in podcast form. Thank you so much to all of you who came out for the live Oscar watch party, our reaction chat the next day, or both. We're proud to have such an insightful, engaged community here. Share your thoughts on the 2024 Academy Awards, and let's do it again next year!

Great friends stopped by the latest episode of Breakfast All Day to help out when Alonso was feeling under the weather, and for that we're thankful. The always entertaining Kristian Harloff sits in on a review of "Kung Fu Panda 4," and tries to help Christy find some inner peace on this needless, noisy sequel. The brilliant Katie Walsh was the perfect friend to review "Love Lies Bleeding," a lurid lesbian romance starring Kristen Stewart and Katy O'Brian. Alonso rallied for Movie News LIVE!, though, with some final thoughts on this weekend's Oscars, "Inside Out 2," the "Rust" shooting verdict and more. And for our Patreon subscribers, we recap this week's emotional penultimate episode of "Feud: Capote vs. The Swans." * Speaking of Oscar night, join Christy for her LIVE watch party over at our YouTube channel. This is a vertical livestream, so it'll show up in your shorts feed, but you can watch it on your phone or computer. The Academy Awards begin early this year at 4pm Pacific time, so meet up here around 345pm.

Grab your ballot and join us for Oscar predictions! This was a super fun YouTube livestream Christy did with the great Glenn Whipp, veteran awards columnist for the Los Angeles Times. Alonso unfortunately has Covid so he couldn't make it, but we still had a great time going category by category and picking who we think will win in each one. We also really enjoyed hearing what our viewers hope to see happen, too. So come hang out with us and win your Oscar pool! The Academy Awards are on Sunday, March 10 at 4pm PDT on ABC. (The show is earlier this year because it's the first night of Daylight Saving Time). How will you spend the evening? Let us know. And if you don't have any plans, Christy is doing a LIVE Oscar watch party on our Breakfast All Day YouTube channel as a way to have fun with their new vertical livestream feature. Details and link coming soon! Look forward to seeing you.

The big movie of the week is "Dune: Part Two," but we've already posted our spoiler-free review of that epic sequel. So instead, we offer some thoughts on a couple of streaming options that might be of interest. First, we discuss "Spaceman," Adam Sandler's ambitious sci-fi misfire. It's streaming on Netflix. Then we review "The Greatest Love Story Never Told," the behind-the-scenes documentary about the making of Jennifer Lopez's musical extravaganza "This Is Me ... Now: A Love Story." The title is clunky but the insight into her process is fascinating, and Ben Affleck is hilarious. Both of those movies are streaming on Prime Video. In Movie News Live!, we discuss the latest Nicole Kidman AMC ads, Liam Neeson's remake of "The Naked Gun," Mel Gibson and more. And for our Patreon subscribers, a recap of this week's melancholy episode of "Feud: Capote vs. The Swans." Have a great weekend and be sure to come back on Tuesday at Noon PST, when we'll do LIVE Oscar predictions on our YouTube channel. Bring your ballot and your questions and join us.

It's another Arthouse Tuesday here at Breakfast All Day as we catch up with a couple of major world cinema releases. The first is "Io Capitano," which is up for best international feature at this year's Academy Awards. Italy's entry marks the fifth and final nominee we've reviewed, and while we don't agree on whether it works completely, we both say other films in the category are far superior, particularly "The Zone of Interest." Then we discuss "About Dry Grasses," the three-hour-plus epic from Turkish master Nuri Bilge Ceylan. Don't be daunted by the run time; this is a gorgeous and engrossing film. Both movies we review today are playing in theaters. And for our Patreon subscribers, we had the pleasure of revisiting "Moonstruck," Norman Jewison's 1987 romantic comedy, for February's Off the Menu. It's just as charming as ever.

We're feeling especially spicy with an extra-long Friday episode of Breakfast All Day. Alonso and Christy have an early, spoiler-free review of "Dune: Part Two," which has IMAX sneaks on Sunday night before opening everywhere March 1. It's an astonishing achievement -- even more so than Denis Villeneuve's 2021 "Dune: Part One" -- and you must experience it on the biggest screen you can find with the best possible sound. We also review the messy comedy "Drive-Away Dolls," which finds Ethan Coen directing for the first time without brother Joel. Of course, we couldn't miss "Tyler Perry's Mea Culpa," since we're completists of the auteur. Perry's homage to steamy erotic thrillers of the '90s is streaming on Netflix. As always on Fridays, we begin with Movie News Live!, which includes a look ahead to the weekend's Spirit Awards and Screen Actors Guild Awards. And for our Patreon subscribers, a recap of this week's "Feud: Capote vs. The Swans," which follows Truman on a magical day in Manhattan with the formidable James Baldwin.

It's Arthouse Tuesday here at Breakfast All Day! We have a quick mid-week visit with reviews of two extremely different indies (although they are both about hunger and survival, kinda). First we discuss "Drift," from "The Breaking Ice" director Anthony Chen. It stars Cynthia Erivo and Alia Shawkat as two women who strike up an unlikely friendship on a picturesque Greek island. Then we review the truly insane "Hundreds of Beavers," a black-and-white, silent slapstick comedy that's unlike anything we've seen before. We disagree as to whether it works completely, but we both think it's worth seeing. "Hundreds of Beavers" is playing in a roadshow format, so click here to learn more about dates and cities: https://hundredsofbeavers.com/#watch Be sure to check our YouTube channel Wednesday morning, when we'll have a spoiler-free review of "Dune: Part Two." Until then, thanks for sharing some of your time with us!

We have a special musical episode of Breakfast All Day for you as we review two very different movies about two very different pop culture icons. First, "This Is Me ... Now: A Love Story," Jennifer Lopez's trippy cinematic odyssey to accompany her new album. It's streaming on Prime Video. Plus we discuss "Bob Marley: One Love," a frustratingly superficial music biopic about the reggae legend. It's in theaters. We begin once again with Movie News Live!, which we're really enjoying. Be sure to join us every Friday at Noon PST at our YouTube channel. And for our Patreon subscribers, a recap of this week's emotional episode of "Feud: Capote vs. The Swans." Enjoy your three-day weekend and thanks for sharing some of your time with us.

Dakota Johnson wants neither the great power nor the great responsibility that come with being a superhero in the Spider-Man world, but she's stuck with them in "Madame Web." This movie is getting savaged critically -- as of this posting, it's at 16% on Rotten Tomatoes -- but we didn't think it was completely terrible, and that's mainly thanks to Johnson's amusingly blasé performance. Speaking of movies that got awful reviews, we revisit Britney Spears' "Crossroads" from 2002, because it will be streaming for the first time ever starting Thursday on Netflix. The coming-of-age road trip drama was supposed to catapult the pop star to movie stardom; instead, it's a bittersweet time capsule of a more innocent time in Spears' life. And for our Patreon subscribers, we recap the extremely eventful penultimate episode of "True Detective: Night Country" on HBO. Thanks for sharing some of your time with us here at Breakfast All Day!

Super Bowl weekend means slim pickings at the movie theater, so we've got a review for you of "Lisa Frankenstein," a stitched-together horror movie/dark comedy/rom-com from writer Diablo Cody that never quite works. Individual pieces had promise, though, including Kathryn Newton's performance and a great soundtrack of '80s goth tunes. We're also continuing to do our news segment live over at our Breakfast All Day YouTube channel, with today's topics including "Coyote vs. Acme," Gina Carano's lawsuit and the new best casting category at the Oscars. And for our Patreon subscribers, we have recaps of the "Echo" finale on Disney+ (which we're very divided on) and this week's episode of "Feud: Capote vs. The Swans," which we both loved. Thanks so much as always for being here!

A quick, midweek pop-in here at Breakfast All Day to catch up on a couple of Academy Award contenders. First, we review "Perfect Days," a gentle gem of a film that's been nominated in the international feature category. Think of it as a Japanese "Jeanne Dielman." Then we finally -- finally! -- discuss "Nimona," a nominee for best animated feature that's been on Netflix since last summer. So many folks have asked us to review this, and we're so glad we did. And for our Patreon subscribers, a recap of this week's supernatural Christmas episode of "True Detective: Night Country." Thanks as always for sharing some of your time with us.

We loved doing movie news live so much last week that we're doing it again that way today, and probably from now on. We'll always keep you posted in hopes that you can join us! Chatting with our viewers is one of the highlights of the latest Breakfast All Day episode. We discuss the late Carl Weathers and Chita Rivera, all those crazy Taylor Swift conspiracy theories and more. The star-studded but bland action spectacle "Argylle" is one of the low points, though -- but only Alonso reviews it, because there was a power outage at Christy's theater after the first 20 minutes. Lucky her! On Netflix, though, there's the hugely entertaining documentary "The Greatest Night in Pop," which chronicles the recording of the 1985 charity single "We Are the World." This is extremely our jam, so we knew we had to review it. And for our Patreon subscribers, we recap the first two episodes of Ryan Murphy's "Feud: Capote vs. The Swans" on Hulu, as well as episode 4 of "Echo" on Disney+.

Bundle up for the latest episode of Breakfast All Day: Christy and Alonso catch up with a couple of international films that take place in chilly settings. We begin with "Society of the Snow," a two-time Oscar nominee about the 1972 Uruguayan rugby team's plane crash in the Andes. It's in theaters and on Netflix. We also review "The Breaking Ice," a dreamy, French New Wave-tinged love triangle set along the border between China and North Korea. It's in theaters. Both films are very good, so check them out! And keeping with the theme over at our Patreon, we recap this week's tantalizing and disturbing episode of "True Detective: Night Country" on HBO, where we're up to day 5 of night in the farthest reaches of Alaska.

It's an exciting time to be with us here at Breakfast All Day because we did a little experiment: A livestream version of our news segment, and it went really well! We had so much fun chatting with our folks on Oscar nomination day that we're going to look for opportunities to go live more often, and we'd love to see you if you can make it. We also have reviews of two movies about precocious, flirtatious high school students: "Miller's Girl," starring Jenna Ortega, and "The Sweet East," starring Talia Ryder.

It's Hollywood's biggest morning! We had a great time discussing this year's Oscar nominations with our viewers on our annual YouTube livestream. In case you missed it, here's our hour-long awards discussion in podcast form. "Oppenheimer" got the most nominations with 13, followed by "Poor Things" with 11, "Killers of the Flower Moon" with 10 and "Barbie" with eight. (And we were just as shocked as you were that Greta Gerwig was left out of best director and Margot Robbie didn't get a best actress nomination; to borrow from another Gerwig movie, it's the titular role.) What are you most excited about? Who got robbed in your opinion? Let us know, and keep an eye out for our Oscar predictions livestream closer to the March 10 ceremony.

It's Arthouse Friday here at Breakfast All Day, as we continue catching up with acclaimed and Oscar-shortlisted international films. First, we review "Fallen Leaves," the amusingly understated romance from Finnish auteur Aki Kaurismäki. Next, we discuss "Monster," a heartbreaking, "Rashomon"-style drama from Japanese master Hirokazu Kore-eda. Then we wrap up with a spoiler conversation about the German film "The Teachers' Lounge," which we reviewed earlier this week, because so many of you asked for it. And for our Patreon subscribers, we recap the excellent season 5 finale of "Fargo" on Hulu as well as episode 2 of Marvel's "Echo" on Disney+.

We have both high and low culture for you, from outer space to middle school, on the latest episode of Breakfast All Day. Christy and Alonso have an early review of the sci-fi thriller "I.S.S.," starring Ariana DeBose and Chris Messina, which comes out Friday. We also catch up with the excellent German film "The Teacher's Lounge," which has been shortlisted in the international category at the Academy Awards. And speaking of awards, we talk in our news segment about the action-packed weekend that just occurred between the Emmys, Critics Choice and LA Film Critics dinner. Plus: Christy does a mini review of the rom-com "Anyone But You," which has become a sleeper hit over the past month. Make sure you join us next week for our Oscar nominations livestream at our YouTube channel! Mark your calendar for Noon PST on Tuesday, Jan. 23.

We remain determined to make fetch happen here at Breakfast All Day. It's an all-review episode, starting with our mixed feelings on "Mean Girls," the movie version of the musical version of the iconic 2004 comedy. We also discuss "The Book of Clarence," an ambitious, satirical biblical epic with a star-studded cast led by LaKeith Stanfield. Finally, there's "Lift" on Netflix, in which Kevin Hart leads a crew of high-tech thieves in stealing a half-billion dollars' worth of gold bars from a plane. And for our Patreon subscribers, we recap the first episode of Marvel's "Echo" on Disney+ and the penultimate episode of "Fargo" season 5 on Hulu.

It's our final episode of 2023, and we're so thrilled that you're here to share it with us. We have a quick hit of movie news, mainly because we wanted to discuss Ryan Gosling's Christmas version of "I'm Just Ken," which just came out this week. We also have reviews of the movie musical "The Color Purple," which is excellent, and the sequel "Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom," which is not.

We love connecting with our viewers through livestreams at Breakfast All Day, and they're especially fun when they give Alonso the chance to share his enthusiasm and knowledge about Christmas movies. We had a great turnout at our YouTube channel Tuesday afternoon, but in case you missed it, here's our conversation in podcast form. Listen along as Christy struggles to figure out why the livestream settings are switched to Members Only off the top -- it's quite dramatic! We'll do another live chat when Oscar nominations are announced on Jan. 23, so mark your calendar and be sure to join usl

It's almost the end of the year, and that means major awards contenders are coming to theaters. We review three of them on the latest episode of Breakfast All Day: the star-studded "The Iron Claw," about the tragic Texas wrestling clan the Von Erichs; "All of Us Strangers," a beautifully crafted tale of love and longing starring Andrew Scott ad Paul Mescal; and "American Fiction," a biting satire that features one of the best performances you'll see all year from Jeffrey Wright. All three open Friday, Dec. 22; "American Fiction" goes wider that day. And for our Patreon subscribers, recaps of the finales of "The Gilded Age" and "Fellow Travelers." Thanks for taking us with you as you do your holiday shopping!

Mid-December means major awards contenders are in theaters -- at least in New York and Los Angeles, and hopefully somewhere near you soon if you don't live in those cities. On the latest Breakfast All Day, we have reviews of Michael Mann's "Ferrari" (which doesn't even come out until Christmas Day, so we're super early on it) and Jonathan Glazer's "The Zone of Interest," winner of four LA Film Critics awards this past weekend including best picture. In a quick news segment, we remember the late Andre Braugher and discuss the 4K restoration of Francis Ford Coppola's infamous dud "One From the Heart."

It's a very musical episode of Breakfast All Day! We review "Wonka," the Willy Wonka origin story starring Timothée Chalamet, and we're both surprised at how much we enjoyed it. We also wanted to make sure we discussed "Waitress: The Musical," which is the movie version of the Broadway production of the 2007 indie romance. Its limited theatrical run has been extended through Dec. 21. But first, news: LA Film Critics awards, Golden Globe nominations, the late Norman Lear's career and more.

Dazzling spectacles abound, both dreamy and nightmarish, on the latest episode of Breakfast All Day. We got such a clamor for a review of "Godzilla Minus One" that we knew we had to catch up with it, and we're so glad we did. Then, we stay in Japan for "The Boy and the Heron," the first film in 10 years from the master animator Hayao Miyazaki, and possibly his last (although he still has his fastball at age 82). Then we wrap up with "Origin," an ambitious and admirable misfire from Ava DuVernay which has lots of big ideas but a clunky structure. And for our Patreon subscribers, we recap episode 4 of this latest "Fargo" seaon on Hulu. We'll be back Tuesday with news, where we'll discuss our LA Film Critics Association year-end vote and the careers of Norman Lear and Ryan O'Neal.

We review the best movie of the year on the latest episode of Breakfast All Day. Christy and Alonso both loved "Poor Things," the latest from Greek auteur Yorgos Lanthimos. And while we realize that it's super boring when we agree, we're both going to end up putting this at the top of our best of 2023 lists.

We're getting in formation -- albeit a little late -- for the latest episode of Breakfast All Day.

You will learn more than you ever could have imagined about scaffolding. We also review "Eileen," a sexy, srtylish noir set in 1960s Massachusetts starring Thomasin McKenzie and Anne Hathaway. Both films are in theaters now. And over at our Patreon, we recap this weeks episode of "Fargo" season 5 on Hulu. It was a trip! Thanks for your patience and for sticking with us.

It's definitely awards season with two new movies from two very different auteurs. First, we have a review of "The Killer," David Fincher's stylish, darkly funny noir starring Michael Fassbender as a meticulous hitman. We also discuss "Priscilla," Sofia Coppola's dreamy depiction of Priscilla Presley's early life and marriage to Elvis.

The Devil made us do it, and by "it," we mean reviewing the latest movies here at Breakfast All Day. We were not scared in the slightest by David Gordon Green's "The Exorcist: Believer," a direct sequel to the 1973 horror classic and the first of three films he has planned in the franchise.
