Ewan McGregor steps back into the saddle–er, into the robe–for the new Lucasfilm limited series, Obi-Wan Kenobi, on Disney+. The following is light on spoilers but as is my custom for a show or movie of this nature, I’m using the artwork to separate the rest of my review. While it’s been 17 years in real life, it’s only been ten years since Revenge of the Sith. There was a time when I didn’t think…

John Magaro spoke with Solzy at the Movies about his new film, 18½, and touched on First Cow opening right as theaters shut down. The Watergate thriller/comedy, directed by Dan Mirvish, opens in theaters this weekend from Adventure Entertainment. There have been so many films and TV series that touch on Watergate. What was it about the script that drew to the role of Paul in 18½? John Magaro: I think this script was a…

This Means War depends on audiences buying into a rather predictable premise of two CIA agents falling for the same woman. Ten years later, the film has its moments. Not many, of course, but they are there and you can’t help but laugh. Of course, the situation is too far-fetched and preposterous in and of itself! The minute that both FDR Foster (Chris Pine) and Tuck Hansen (Tom Hardy) learn they are both dating Lauren…

Ambulance, the Michael Bay thriller, has made its arrival to Peacock 45 days after the film was released in theaters in early April. Unfortunately, the thriller isn’t good. Maybe Ambulance plays better in a movie theater but nothing can save the film when struggling to keep attention at home. Put it this way: there was no amount of caffeine that could keep me awake while watching. Lorne Balfe’s music does what it can to salvage…

These specials aren’t just taped for Netflix but they come after fine-tuning the show during the comedy tour. There are no shortage of…

Nostalgia wins this year as Top Gun: Maverick will have audiences soaring into the Danger Zone with the Tom Cruise film finally opening. “Don’t think, just do.” When you’re up in the air, you do not have anytime to think. It’s similar to Yoda’s Star Wars mantra when it comes to “Do or do not, there is no try.” It’s this mantra in the film that comes down to life or death decisions. One wrong…
