Breakfast All Day movie reviews

• Episode 531: Sinners, A Minecraft Movie, The Wedding Banquet, Secret Mall Apartment, Movie News LIVE!

  It's a massive catch-up episode of the Breakfast All Day podcast. New stuff! Sorta new stuff! And a lengthy movie news segment to cover all the topics we missed during spring break. We begin with a review of the epic "Sinners," one of the year's most anticipated films, which lives up to the hype and more. Ryan Coogler re-teams with his frequent muse, Michael B. Jordan, who plays dual roles as identical twins in 1930s Mississippi. We loved it. In theaters (and see it in IMAX if you can.) Next up is "A Minecraft Movie," which has been out for a couple of weeks but we missed it over vacation. We were surprised how much we enjoyed it (and behaved ourselves during the chicken jockey of it all). In theaters. Next: We review Andrew Ahn's remake of the 1993 Ang Lee arthouse classic "A Wedding Banquet." Bowen Yang, Lily Gladstone and Kelly Marie Tran are among the cast in this romantic comedy about queer couples juggling love and cultural traditions. In theaters. And then, we wanted to include the audio from our "Secret Mall Apartment" review from a couple weeks back. This thoroughly entertaining documentary follows a group of artists who found a hidden spot in the middle of the Providence Place Mall and called it home for several years in the early 2000s. Find out here when it's playing near you: https://secretmallapartment.com/buy-tickets Finally, Movie News LIVE! is back. Lots to discuss, including the new "Fantastic Four" trailer, "The Breakfast Club" reunion, Aimee Lou Wood, Fyre Festival 2 and more. We'll try to be as consistent as possible with news over the busy next couple of months. Thanks for being here! Subscribe to Christy's Saturday Matinee newsletter: https://christylemire.beehiiv.com/

• Episode 530: The Friend, Freaky Tales, Holland reviews

  We couldn't have imagined a more random episode to leave you with before spring break, but hopefully there's a little something for everyone here at Breakfast All Day. We begin with "The Friend," a warm and wise drama about grief, healing, and a 150-pound Great Dane. We don't totally agree on how well this movie works, but the dog is amazing. Starring Naomi Watts, Bill Murray, Carla Gugino and Ann Dowd. In theaters. Next up is the four-part anthology "Freaky Tales," from "Captain Marvel" filmmakers Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck, returning to their indie roots. Pedro Pascal, Ben Mendelsohn, Jay Ellis, Dominique Thorne and Too $hort are among the stars of this intertwined homage to 1987 Oakland. In theaters. Finally, we catch up with "Holland," but you're welcome to avoid it. Nicole Kidman, Matthew Macfadyen and Gael García Bernal star in this overly familiar dark comedy about secrets lurking beneath the pristine veneer of small-town America. Streaming on Prime Video. No news this week because Christy's on vacation. But if you're a member of our Patreon, keep an eye out for our recap of "The White Lotus" season finale on Monday morning. Thanks for being here!

• Episode 529: The Woman in the Yard, Locked, Movie News LIVE!

  Totally by coincidence, both of our movies this week are about characters who are stuck inside. But we hope you're getting out and about and enjoying the springtime, and that you'll take us with you here at Breakfast All Day. We begin with a review of "The Woman in the Yard," which Universal didn't screen for critics before opening day. The latest Blumhouse horror movie stars the always great Danielle Deadwyler as a widow and mother of two, dealing with a mysterious and menacing ... woman in the yard. In theaters. We also catch up with "Locked," which came out last weekend. Bill Skarsgård finds himself trapped in a fancy SUV when he picks the wrong car to steal from a Vancouver parking lot. Anthony Hopkins is the voice of the car owner who torments him remotely. Also in theaters. And we finally did Movie News LIVE! for the first time in about three weeks. Things have been a little crazy around here. Among the topics we talked about were "No Other Land" director Hamdan Ballal, Sundance leaving Park City, Rachel Zegler, "Avengers: Doomsday" and more. We won't be back for another livestream until April 18 because of spring break, but we look forward to seeing you then, and we're so happy you're here now.

• Episode 528: Snow White, Magazine Dreams, Eephus, The Alto Knights

  A little birdie told us you were looking for a new episode of our Breakfast All Day podcast, so we whipped one up for you (and whistled a happy tune while we did it). We have a full slate of reviews for you this time. "Snow White" is the big movie of the week: the latest live-action reimagining of a Disney animation classic. Rachel Zegler stars as the O.G. princess, with Gal Gadot playing the Evil Queen. Lots of people are mad at this movie for a variety of ridiculous reasons. If you decide to see it for yourself, let us know what you think. It's in theaters. Also opening this week, finally, is "Magazine Dreams." This is the film that was supposed to cement Jonathan Majors' status as a major talent of our time -- then he was arrested and convicted of assault and harassment. He gives an incredible performance in a film filled with craft, if you can separate the art from the artist, and we don't blame you if you can't. It's tough. In theaters. We also catch up with the indie baseball movie "Eephus," which is a delightfully shaggy hang. Carson Lund fills the screen with eccentric characters and a rich sense of place, inspired by his baseball-obsessed youth in Nashua, NH. We both loved this movie. In limited release; find out here when it's playing near you: https://www.eephusfilm.com/ Finally, we review a movie you probably had no idea existed: "The Alto Knights," starring Robert De Niro in dual roles as New York gangsters Frank Costello and Vito Genovese. Director Barry Levinson goes through the motions in trotting out mob tropes. It's also in theaters, but you can miss this one.

• Episode 527: The Electric State, Opus reviews

  It's a Pi Day miracle: We recorded these reviews in the same place at the same time for the first time in a long time. Five years, to be exact. And it was so nice to be together again at Alonso's apartment on this rainy day in LA. We begin with "The Electric State," an empty, ugly, $320 million action extravaganza from longtime MCU directors Anthony and Joe Russo. It's a retro-futuristic, post-apocalyptic story set in the '90s, after humans and robots have gone to war. The ridiculous cast includes Millie Bobby Brown, Chris Pratt, Stanley Tucci, Anthony Mackie, Brian Cox, Jenny Slate, Ke Huy Quan and Woody Harrelson as Mr. Peanut. Yes, you read that right. Streaming now on Netflix. We were also disappointed with "Opus," about a legendary pop star who invites a group of journalists to his remote retreat to listen to his first album in three decades. It's an A24 horror movie, and it feels awfully familiar. It also features an impressive cast including Ayo Edebiri, John Malkovich, Murray Bartlett, Juliette Lewis and Amber Midthunder. In theaters now. And over at our Patreon, we recap the latest episode of "Daredevil: Born Again" on Disney+. Thanks for sharing some of your time with us -- we'll try to do this in person again soon!
