Black Widow’s name may be on the title, but the true heroes of the 24th entry in the MCU mega-franchise are her supporting characters — a pack of gonzo Russkie faux relatives. The film opens on an undercover mission from Natasha’s youth. She’s playing the 10-year-old daughter in an all-American family living the dream in […]

Pixar’s latest release “Luca” (rated PG) is very much like the gelato that plays a ubiquitous background role throughout the film — cool, colorful, and,

To get the headline out of the way, James Gunn’s “The Suicide Squad” (rated R for violence, nudity, and language) achieves its primary mission — that is, to wipe away every foul memory of its abominable but profitable 2016 predecessor. An opening, pre-title-card scene in which a decoy squad gets wiped out in minutes acts […]

The “Justified” star couldn’t have predicted what would happen later that day or the ensuing political earthquake. His documentary, “Capitol Punishment,” offers a media corrective to the “insurrection” mania that gripped the press over the past year. He also ...

You can’t have a redemption story without going to some dark places, and though The Daily Wire’s first original production, “Shut In,” takes viewers on a journey through the hell of drug-addiction and spousal abuse, its ultimate end is one of resilience and hope. Too often, films involving faith are centered on inauthentic characters, with ...

With its first two small screen Marvel outings, Disney seemed intent on shutting out a significant portion of the franchise’s core audience. The

There are a few obvious comparisons to make between the classic 2002 thriller “Panic Room” and Daily Wire’s new film, “Shut In.” Both movies deal with the claustrophobic paranoia of being trapped in small spaces. Both include violations by unwanted intruders into personal residences, which is especially terrifying because your home should be where you ...
