Dolittle Review
Poor special effects and a terrible turn by Robert Downey Jr. make this adventure spectacle a tedious voyage.

This World War I film is a decent war flick, but nothing more than that.
BPBS’s Matthew Passantino offers his take on the best movies of 2019.
Abetted by dynamic performances from Daisy Ridley and Adam Driver, writer/director JJ Abrams closes out the venerable “Star Wars” saga with this gung-ho, action-packed, fan-serving, imperfect-but-still-decent wrapup entry.
A look at the best film of the 2010s.
Adam Sandler runs through Manhattan in a frantic, unwieldy race against the clock in this jitter-inducing crime dramedy.
BPBS’s Stuart Shave calls this satirical and self-aware whodunit from writer/director Rian Johnson “one of the best and most satisfying movies of 2019.” Sounds pretty sharp!
This story about a writer who profiles the beloved children’s tv host eloquently captures Mr. Rogers’s unique blend of otherworldly mystique and everyman qualities.
Dedicated gear-heads and passive passengers alike will get lots of mileage out of this true-life tale of the grudge match between dueling car companies over the legendary Le Mans road race.
This true life tale of a photojournalist in Mafia-centric Palermo is a prime example of great subject matter, average storytelling.
