Breakfast All Day movie reviews

Come on over for some charcuterie and film criticism on the latest episode of Breakfast All Day. We have an early review of "The Invite," starring Olivia Wilde, Seth Rogen, Penélope Cruz and Edward Norton. They play neighboring couples in a San Francisco apartment building who get together for a hilarious and exquisitely awkward dinner party. Wilde directs from a screenplay by Will McCormack and Rashida Jones, based on the Spanish film "The People Upstairs." Opening in New York and Los Angeles June 26 before expanding nationwide in upcoming weeks. Then, we thought we'd take a moment at the halfway point of the year to highlight our favorite movies so far. We have a little bit of overlap but also some very different titles, including a couple of movies Alonso has seen that we haven't even reviewed yet. What would you put on your list? Let us know! Check back with us on Friday for reviews of "Supergirl" and "Jackass: Best and Last," plus Movie News LIVE! Subscribe to Christy's Saturday Matinee newsletter: https://christylemire.beehiiv.com/

Got a couple of biggies for you on this midweek drop here at Breakfast All Day. First, we review "Toy Story 5," the latest installment in the beloved Pixar Animation franchise. This is a step up from the fourth film, with some great new additions alongside the characters you know and love. Tom Hanks, Joan Cusack, Greta Lee, Tim Allen and Conan O'Brien co-star. In theaters June 19. We also did a live spoiler chat about "Disclosure Day." There's so much we didn't want to discuss in our non-spoiler review of Steven Spielberg's new sci-fi epic, particularly the ending. But now that the film has been in theaters for several days, it's time to go in-depth. Listen and share your thoughts. Keep and eye (and ear) out on Friday for reviews of "Leviticus" and "The Death of Robin Hood," as well as our usual Movie News LIVE! Thanks for being here.

"Disclosure Day" is finally here, and we've got an early, spoiler-free review on this midweek episode of our Breakfast All Day podcast. Steven Spielberg's latest sci-fi summer blockbuster finds Emily Blunt and Josh O'Connor trying to understand their connection with the alien world, and each other. Co-starring Colin Firth, Colman Domingo and Eve Hewson. It's in theaters June 12, but we wanted to talk about it as soon as we possibly could. Come back next Tuesday, June 16 for a "Disclosure Day" LIVE spoiler chat. That'll be at Noon Pacific over at our Breakfast All Day YouTube channel. We also reviewed both versions of "Cape Fear" -- the films from 1962 and 1991 -- in preparation for the Apple TV series, which we've begun recapping right here at our Patreon. Watch along with us and share your thoughts, as well as your memories of Robert Mitchum and Robert De Niro in the terrifying Max Cady role. Thanks for spending some of your time with us!

Happy June! We've got a couple of reviews to kick off your month here at Breakfast All Day: PRESSURE. We're catching up with this ultimate dad movie, which looks like it's about D-Day, but it's actually about weather. A solid, old-fashioned World War II drama. Andrew Scott, Brendan Fraser, Kerry Condon, Damian Lewis and Chris Messina star. In theaters. BACKROOMS LIVE SPOILER CHAT. There's so much we didn't want to ruin in our spoiler-free review of the A24 horror movie last week. But now that it's out -- and so many people have seen it -- we thought it was time to go more in-depth. This was a great conversation. Keep an eye out for more spoiler livestreams throughout the summer. Thanks for being here with us midweek! Subscribe to Christy's Saturday Matinee newsletter: https://christylemire.beehiiv.com/

It's a long holiday weekend, so an extra-long episode of our Breakfast Al Day podcast seems fitting. Here's what we reviewed as we head into Memorial Day: I LOVE BOOSTERS. Boots Riley is back with another maximalist, absurdist comedy. He follows up 2018's "Sorry to Bother You" with the story of a group of women who steal designer clothes and sell them at discount prices. Starring Keke Palmer, Taylour Paige, Naomi Ackie and Demi Moore. In theaters. TUNER. The best new movie of the week. Oscar-winning documentarian Daniel Roher ("Navalny") makes his narrative feature debut with the story of a New York piano tuner (Leo Woodall) who uses his super-sensitive hearing to work as a safecracker on the side. Co-starring Dustin Hoffman and Havana Rose Liu. In limited release now, opening nationwide May 29. IS GOD IS. We got a ton of requests to catch up with this stylish Southern thriller from last week, and we're so glad we did. Writer-director Aleshea Harris adapts her stage play about twins who go on a cross-country road trip of revenge against their father, who tried to kill their mother. Kara Young and Mallori Johnson are both tremendous. This is a must-see. In theaters. MOVIE NEWS LIVE! We're back with lots to discuss, including "The Mandalorian and Grogu," "The Boys" series finale, the last Stephen Colbert show, Tom Hardy getting fired from "MobLand," the Cannes Film Festival and more.

It's our 600th episode! And we're marking this auspicious occasion with one of our more random episodes. Here's what we reviewed this week on Breakfast All Day: MORTAL KOMBAT II. This sequel was a huge hit last weekend, so we decided to catch up with it. Plus, we apparently reviewed the first "Mortal Kombat" five years ago, which wasn't a particularly memorable experience for either of us. Karl Urban IS Johnny Cage. As video game adaptations go, it's not terrible, but it's also not stupid enough. In theaters. MARTY, LIFE IS SHORT. The delightful Martin Short is the subject of this warm and affectionate documentary. Name someone you love from the Canadian comedy world and they're probably in this movie. Lawrence Kasdan's film features intimate home movies and candid interviews. Streaming on Netflix. THE PUNISHER: ONE LAST KILL. This one-off installment in the Punisher franchise finds Frank Castle contending with old demons and taking on new foes. Jon Bernthal is a formidable presence as always, and he co-wrote the script with director Reinaldo Marcus Green. Streaming now on Disney+. This is the kind of TV recap we do every week on our Breakfast All Day Patreon, so if you enjoyed this conversation, come join us here. Thanks for hanging out with us! Keep an eye out next week for reviews of "The Mandalorian and Grogu," "Obsession" and more. Subscribe to Christy's Saturday Matinee newsletter: https://christylemire.beehiiv.com/

It's s super-stylish Saturday here at Breakfast All Day. We took Friday off to honor the May Day work stoppage, but we're back to kick off your weekend. Here's what we reviewed: THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA 2. Twenty years later, everyone's back at Runway magazine, but Runway magazine is a shell of its former self. This is a sad movie about the state of modern journalism, but the clothes are still fun. Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Stanley Tucci and Emily Blunt star. This one's gonna be huge. In theaters. THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA (2006). Of course we had to go back and review the original film, which was a massive, crowd-pleasing hit that remains infinitely meme-able. It's the definition of the breezy, escapist rom-com. The sequel is very different. HOKUM. Adam Scott goes to Ireland and stays in a charming, countryside inn. Weird things start happening. Writer-director Damian McCarthy's film is a trip, and Scott is great in it. In theaters. MILE END KICKS. We both loved this romantic comedy, which takes place in the cool Montreal neighborhood of Mile End. Barbie Ferreira stars as a young music critic who moves to the city in the summer of 2011 to cover its indie rock scene. From writer-director Chandler Levack. In theaters.

It's an absolutely packed episode a week away from the Oscars. We're playing some catch-up with nominees and we've got one monster of a new release. Here's what we have for you: THE BRIDE! That exclamation point says it all. Writer-director Maggie Gyllenhaal's wild and bold update of "The Bride of Frankenstein" mixes tones and genres in a way that's dividing critics (including us). Jessie Buckley and Christian Bale co-star. In theaters. THE VOICE OF HIND RAJAB. The last of the five nominees in the best international feature category for us to discuss here. Tunisian filmmaker Kaouther Ben Hania mixes the real-life audio of a 5-year-old Palestinian trapped in a car in Gaza with actors playing the emergency operators on the other end of the line. We don't agree on this film, either, but it has moved many audiences deeply. Available for online rental. THE PERFECT NEIGHBOR. Nominated for best documentary feature, this Netflix film is composed entirely of deputies' body cam footage of a neighborhood where a deadly shooting ripped the multicultural community apart. We think this is the front-runner for the Academy Award, if only because it's probably the one most people saw (plus, it's great). Streaming now. MR. NOBODY AGAINST PUTIN. Russian school teacher Pavel Talankin bravely documents Putin's propagandist efforts to indoctrinate young minds at the start of the Ukraine invasion. You come to really care about him and the kids in his care, particularly the teens who are facing an uncertain future. This is also up for the best documentary feature Oscar. Available for online rental. MOVIE NEWS LIVE! Another busy week between early reactions to "The Bride!", HBO Max and Paramount + merging into one streaming platform, Daryl Hannah's op-ed about how she's portrayed in Ryan Murphy's "Love Story," the "Little House on the Prairie" reboot, and Catherine O'Hara's posthumous Actor Award.
