Movie Reviews

James Gray’s Armageddon Time will be like taking a journey in a time machine that will transport you back to New York in the 1980s.

The Man in the Basement opens on January 27 in New York to mark International Holocaust Remembrance Day and will soon be shown around the US (and eventually, one would hope, in Israel)

That’s the somewhat bizarre premise of the engaging black comedy My Neighbor Adolf, directed by Leon Prudovsky and co-written by Dmitry Malinsky.

The miracle is that the movie came together, in spite of the fact that they were set to begin filming during the pandemic.

There’s good news and bad news about his latest film, Best Sellers, which opens throughout Israel on January 5. It has a good cast and a meaty role for Michael Caine, but it doesn't quite jell.

Concerned Citizen mixes dark comedy and drama in its social commentary about a young gay couple living in a neighborhood in south Tel Aviv that is home to many migrants, both legal and illegal.

It won’t surprise anyone who has ever seen a Spielberg movie to know that what saved him – what elevated him – was both his love for movies and his talent for creating them.

The acting, cinematography and production are highly polished, but the script seems designed to mute any real conflict.

Should you watch these films and television shows?

It’s a wild ride that takes aim at some pretty easy targets, but makes a few good points and, more importantly, is funny much of the time
