Breakfast All Day movie reviews

We're delighted to have our great friend  Tim Grierson  come back and hang out on this week's  Breakfast All Day . Tim joins Christy, Alonso and Matt to review Ryan Reynolds' video game comedy "Free Guy,"  the by-the-numbers Aretha Franklin biopic  "Respect,"  and the feel-good Sundance favorite  "CODA."  In  news , we discuss how we feel about  going back to screenings  in person, Marvel's latest...

Your favorite criminal superheroes are back on  Breakfast All Day . This week, Christy, Matt and Alonso review James Gunn's gory extravaganza "The Suicide Squad,"  Leos Carax's musical fantasia  "Annette,"  the Netflix documentary  "Pray Away,"  and the animated  "Vivo,"  in case you haven't had enough Lin-Manuel Miranda. In  news , we talk about possible  Golden Globe  changes,  "Stranger Things"...

Hop in and go for a ride with us on  Breakfast All Day . This week's movies are all about travel:  "Jungle Cruise,"  the latest film version of a Disney theme park ride;  "The Green Knight,"  David Lowery's gorgeous and trippy Arthurian quest; and  "Stillwater,"  starring Matt Damon as an Oklahoma dad fighting to save his daughter in France. But in  news , we talk about the need to stay home and b...

Six months later, we've reached the end of our  Marvel Mondays  journey on  Breakfast All Day  with our discussion of  "Black Widow" — unless Christy makes her kid watch "Howard the Duck," which some folks have requested. This week, Christy and Nicolas talk about what a badass Scarlett Johansson  is, how a  hilarious Florence Pugh  nearly steals the whole thing, what a  MacGuffin is and how "Black...

We're getting close to the end of our  Marvel Mondays  journey — at least for now — with  "Spider-Man: Far From Home" (2019). Christy and Nic agree this sequel isn't as good as the infectiously joyous "Spider-Man: Homecoming"  from a couple years earlier, and that it works better as a  teenage romantic comedy  than an action spectacle. We discuss whether we'd rather be  blipped and return  or rema...

We're definitely in summer now with the release of the long-awaited blockbuster  "Black Widow." Christy, Matt and Alonso have a Breakfast All Day review of Scarlett Johansson's standalone superhero movie, which originally was scheduled to come out in May 2020. Now, you can see it in theaters or at home through Disney+. We also review Steven Soderbergh's low-key caper "No Sudden Move"  on HBOMax, E...

We've finally made it to the biggest one of them all on  Marvel Mondays :  "Avengers: Endgame." Christy and Nicolas take some extra time with this one because there's so much to talk about: how everyone responds to the aftermath of the snap , the way the Russo brothers balance  action and humor  and still find a way to  cram everyone in there , the fun of  time travel  and the many moments that ma...

It's July 4th weekend, which means we've got some big, dumb blockbusters for you on  Breakfast All Day . But we also have some great smaller films that are very much worth your time in between hot dogs and sparklers. Alonso, Matt and Christy review the Chris Pratt alien invasion extravaganza "The Tomorrow War,"  Questlove's excellent music documentary  "Summer of Soul,"  the bleak sequel  "The For...

Tie a flannel around your waist, pump up the Garbage and conjure your angstiest '90s mood for  "Captain Marvel"  (2019). This week on  Marvel Mondays , Christy and Nicolas and discuss the nostalgia of Carol Danvers  crash landing into a  Blockbuster Video  store, her meeting up with a  young Nick Fury  and  Agent Coulson , the fun of the furry  Flerken  and the emotion of her  getting back up agai...

Buckle up and hang on for the gravity-defying spectacle that is  Breakfast All Day . Alonso, Matt and Christy review the latest in "The Fast Saga," "F9,"  which we're mixed on but agree is a great reason to go back to the movies. We also review the middling Liam Neeson actioner  "The Ice Road"  and the touching queer, Mexican romance  "I Carry You With Me."  In  news , we talk about  Britney Spear...

This week on  Marvel Mondays , we discuss  "Ant-Man and the Wasp"  (2018), which serves as a light, cool palate cleanser after the emotional intensity of  "Avengers: Infinity War." Christy and Nicolas didn't enjoy this sequel as much the second time around — we found its plot too crammed  and the  jokes too repetitive  from the original. But  Paul Rudd  is always delightful, and the use of  shrink...

Jump on in, the water's fine here at  Breakfast All Day . This week, Alonso, Matt and Christy review the new Pixar movie on Disney+, "Luca,"  and have widely varying thoughts on it. We also discuss the totally unnecessary sequel  "Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard,"  although we can barely remember the original, and the entertaining documentary  "Rita Moreno: Just a Girl Who Decided to Go for It."  In  ne...

It's hard to believe we're almost done with our  Marvel Mondays  series, but here we are with  "Avengers: Infinity War" (2018) . Christy and Nicolas talk about how fun it is to see the various Marvel characters  interact with each other, whether Nic relates to surly  Teenage Groot , how  emotional  the snap is — especially when it comes to Spider-Man — and how  shocking  this movie seemed when it...

It's our 200th episode of  Breakfast All Day ! And what better way to celebrate than with the infectiously joyous  "In the Heights." Alonso, Matt and Christy review the big-screen version of Lin-Manuel Miranda's Tony-winning musical, which you really should see on the big screen if you feel comfortable doing that. We also review the sequel "Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway"  and the must-see Netflix sp...

We're finally up to  "Black Panther,"  one of our complete favorites and a movie we'd been looking forward to revisiting since the beginning, on this week's episode of  Marvel Mondays . Christy and Nicolas talk about how sad it is to watch Ryan Coogler's film  following the death of  Chadwick Boseman , how it features a villain in  Michael B. Jordan's Erik Killmonger  who has an understandable rea...

Summer is heating up but it's a tepid week movie-wise here at  Breakfast All Day . Stick with us, though, because Christy, Matt and Alonso have reviews of the horror sequel "The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It,"  the Indian film  "The Disciple"  on Netflix and  "Port Authority,"  an indie drama about a transgender romance. In  news , we talk about the confusing  new mask rules  for businesses i...

This week on  Marvel Mondays , we're up to a movie Christy had been excited to rewatch from the very beginning:  "Thor: Ragnarok" (2017). It's one of her absolute favorites because it's goofy, weird and full of surprises. She and Nicolas talk about how the humor in Taika Waititi's film  comes from Thor not being powerful and majestic but actually kinda boggled and bumbling. We love the interplay h...

Listening to the  Breakfast All Day  Podcast is the height of fashion, darling — especially this week, when we disagree strongly on a couple of new movies. Alonso loved the Disney villain origin story  "Cruella" and Christy was not a fan (although the clothes are amazing). Christy loved the documentary "Moby Doc"  and Alonso thought it was annoying. Matt is somewhere in between on both of these. B...

This week on  Marvel Mondays , we're up to  "Spider-Man: Homecoming" (2017), one of Nicolas' absolute favorites and a movie he'd been looking forward to revisiting since the beginning of our series. He and Christy discuss the infectious joy of Tom Holland's  performance, the cool, meta casting of  Michael Keaton , the connection to other Marvel movies and  "Into the Spider-Verse,"  and the fact th...

Movie theaters are opening and nature is healing — unless you're a zombie — on  Breakfast All Day . This week, Christy, Alonso and Matt review Zack Snyder's "Army of the Dead,"  one of the more enjoyable examples of the director's muscular style. Also: the documentary  "P!nk: All I Know So Far,"  about the pop star juggling touring and motherhood, and the shocking Mexican drama  "New Order."  In ...

Rocket and Drax and Groot — now in baby form — are back in  "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" (2017) , the rare sequel that's better than the original. At least Christy thinks so on this week's episode of Marvel Mondays . Nicolas loves it, too, beginning with its exuberantly joyful opening title sequence to ELO's  "Mr. Blue Sky."  We discuss how the  characters evolve — they're funnier but also mor...

We've all been trapped inside like  "The Woman in the Window"  for far too long, but things are looking up here at  Breakfast All Day . Christy, Matt and Alonso have mixed reactions to this brazen Hitchcock homage with an all-star cast led by Amy Adams. We also review "Spiral: From the Book of Saw,"  even though none of us has seen a single "Saw" movie;  "Those Who Wish Me Dead,"  a muscular, '90s...

This week on  Marvel Mondays , we get to revisit one of Christy's absolute favorite MCU movies: "Doctor Strange"  (2016), which is singular and funny and dazzling and, yes, strange. Christy and Nicolas talk about how Benedict Cumberbatch 's character is the kind of archetype Tom Cruise often plays, how  playful and trippy  the movie is, what a  fantastic cast  it features (Rachel McAdams, Chiwetel...

Sure, it's Mother's Day weekend, but Christy, Alonso and Matt have a bunch of movies about dudes to review on Breakfast All Day . Guy Ritchie and Jason Statham re-team for the heist thriller  "Wrath of Man."  Billy Crystal directs and stars as an aging comedian with dementia in  "Here Today."  David Oyelowo directs and has a supporting role in the Spielbergian fantasy  "The Water Man."  And J. Bal...
