Breakfast All Day movie reviews

These babies you see before you scarfing down cheesecake are Christy and one of her oldest and dearest friends,  Tracy Tofte . You may know her better as  Tracy Wells  from when she played teenage daughter Heather Owens on  "Mr. Belvedere"  during the sitcom's six-year run in the '80s. Tracy and Christy have known each other since the seventh grade, having grown up together in Woodland Hills, Cali...

It's a sampler platter of movies this week on Breakfast All Day, from indies to foreign films, great stuff to middling stuff. A very stuffy Alonso  overcomes his allergies to join Christy in reviews of the all-star Netflix action thriller "Triple Frontier,"  the subtly powerful Chinese drama "Ash Is Purest White" (with a tour de force performance from Zhao Tao, above), the dull and safe post-World...

This week, we're launching a little side podcast we've wanted to do for a while now. It's called Breakfast All Day: A La Carte.  We'll be interviewing people who work in film or entertainment in some way --  sometimes just Christy, sometimes with the other Breakfast All Day guys joining us at the table. We're so excited to begin this series with Josh Agle , better known as the artist Shag . He's a...

We're all searching for our inner superheroes this week on Breakfast All Day. Alonso , Matt and Christy review "Captain Marvel, " the first film to focus on a female character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and "Gloria Bell," in which Julianne Moore discovers her own powers as a Los Angeles divorcee. We also review the time-twisting German drama "Transit " and "I'm Not Here" starring J.K. Simmo...

It's an all-night dance party all morning long here at Breakfast All Day. This is an extremely random week post-Oscars as Matt , Alonso  and Christy review Gaspar Noe's thrilling and transfixing "Climax,"  the deliriously bonkers stalker thriller "Greta," starring Isabelle Huppert and Chloe Grace Moretz, and the gripping documentary "Apollo 11," which features never-before-seen footage of the moon...

Is awards season over yet? It seems to just keep going and going, but the end is in sight with this weekend's Academy Awards ceremony .  Alonso , Matt , Ben and Christy run through who will win and should win the Oscar in various categories, with "Roma" and Alfonso Cuaron among the favorites (as well as "The Favourite"). Of course, we also review the big, new release of the week, the beautifully a...

We are your valentine and so much more on this jammed episode of Breakfast All Day. Alonso , Ben , Matt and I are together again -- three weeks in a row! -- with reviews of the sci-fi extravaganza "Alita: Battle Angel," the horror-comedy sequel "Happy Death Day 2U" and the extremely meta rom-com "Isn't It Romantic."  We also discuss "Fighting With My Family," the feel-good Dwayne Johnson wrestling...

Everything is cool when you're part of a team, especially when that team is the Breakfast All Day Podcast. For the second week in a row, Alonso , Ben , Matt and Christy all made it to the table. We talk about the high-energy "The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part," the annual Liam Neesoning with "Cold Pursuit" (as well as Neeson's off-screen troubles), the gender-flipping remake  "What Men Want" and t...

Super Bowl weekend means less-than-super options at the movies, but  Alonso ,  Matt ,  Ben  and Christy managed to eke out a victory of our own. Yes, you read that right, Ben is with us for the latest episode of Breakfast All Day. This week, we review the English-language remake of the Mexican action thriller  "Miss Bala,"  the art world satire/horror flick  "Velvet Buzzsaw"  and the fourth episod...

January is really Januarying this week on the Breakfast All Day Podcast. Alonso and Christy try to describe to you the insanely awful (and just plain insane) neo-noir "Serenity," starring Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway, without spoiling its major twists. We also review the surprisingly fun  "The Kid Who Would Be King," a modern-day take on the sword-and-the-stone legend, from British writer...

It's Hollywood's biggest morning, if you're into that kind of thing. Alonso and Christy break down all of the Academy Award nominations, both the ones we're excited about and the ones we would've liked to have seen. "The Favourite" and "Roma" led all nominees with 10 apiece, which we were delighted to see, but then there were many egregious oversights including "Burning" in the foreign language ca...

It's a veritable smorgasbord of reviews on the latest Breakfast All Day Podcast: new stuff, catch-up stuff, streaming stuff. And hey, lookie here! We're back to discussing television, by popular demand. This week, Alonso , Matt and Christy review M. Night Shyamalan's third piece in his "Unbreakable"-"Split" trilogy, "Glass," and we play catch-up with the Keanu Reeves sci-fi thriller "Replicas,"  w...

That sound you hear is January movies slowly trying to kill us. This week on Breakfast All Day,  Alonso ,  Matt  and Christy review the painfully feel-good comedy  "The Upside"  and the shamelessly heart-tugging drama  "A Dog's Way Home."  We also play catch-up with  "Bird Box"  on Netflix and try to figure out what all the fuss is about. And there's a ton of movie news to cover, including the baf...

Good morning to you, whatever time of day it is in your world.  Alonso ,  Matt ,  Ben  and I are excited to introduce you to our new incarnation, the  Breakfast All Day Podcast . It's still the four of us (whenever we can arrange our schedules to get in the same room with each other), reviewing films, occasionally discussing movie news and enjoying the same banter we've had for the past nine years...
