‘Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion’ is still timeless at 25
The “be true to yourself” messaging of “Romy and Michele's High School Reunion” has made it a timeless favorite for 25 years. (And it’s one that’s currently streaming for free on Tubi.) Film critic Caroline Siede reflects on a quarter-century spent with the inventors of the Post-It.
Review: ‘The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent’ is a slapdash showcase for a screen legend
In real life, Nicolas Cage is having an extended moment. His indie drama “Pig” got rave reviews last year, a just-released book called “Age of Cage” articulates the importance of his long, eclectic career and the new movie “The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent” is his first live-action starring role to receive a wide theatrical release in ages. Film critic Jesse Hassenger reviews.

Review: ‘The Northman’ shines as a violent Viking revenge epic

Here's film critic Vikram Murthi's review.
‘Doctor Who’ review: A pirate-themed Easter special is a throwaway romp
There’s a big “Doctor Who” event on the horizon this fall: Jodie Whittaker will step down from her role as the Doctor just as showrunner Chris Chibnall hands over the reins to returning creator Russell T Davies. But first, it’s time for a rather aimless pirate romp in 19th century China! TV critic Caroline Siede reviews "Legend of the Sea Devils."

New movie roundup: ‘Sonic 2’ speeds into theaters and Jake Gyllenhaal hijacks an ‘Ambulance’
New movies arriving April 8 include "Sonic the Hedgehog 2," "Ambulance" and the national expansion of "Everything Everywhere All At Once." FOX film critics share their thoughts on what’s new, free, fun or all of the above.
Review: ‘Everything Everywhere All At Once' is transcendent and a bit exhausting
In many ways, “Everything Everywhere” is a transcendently singular film that remixes familiar genre tropes into something that feels wholly new and quietly revolutionary. In other ways, it’s just exhausting. FOX film critic Caroline Siede reviews the highly anticipated Michelle Yeoh film.
Review: Yes, ‘Ambulance’ is stupid — but oh boy, is it fun
Michael Bay's “Ambulance” is a bifurcated mess that can’t decide what kind of movie it wants to be and so chooses instead to be several movies at once. Yet in spite of (or perhaps because of) its myriad flaws, it’s impossible to resist the film’s siren song. FOX film critic Allison Shoemaker reviews the action expert's latest.
Review: ‘Sonic the Hedgehog 2’ is bigger and more boring than the original
“Sonic the Hedgehog 2” is much bigger (and a half-hour longer) than its predecessor, yet Sonic’s quest still can’t support an entire movie, no matter how extravagant or action-packed it might be. Film critic Vikram Murthi reviews this flashy sequel.

April movie preview: Morbius, Sonic the Hedgehog and Nic Cage as Nic Cage
this April is a bit of an eclectic month for movies. As the box office slowly roars back to life, big blockbusters like “Morbius,” “Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore” and “Sonic the Hedgehog 2” are joined by throwback thrillers like Michael Bay's “Ambulance” as well as ambitious original projects like the sci-fi extravaganza “Everything Everywhere All At Once.” Here's our preview of the month in movies.
Review: ‘Morbius’ is a boring, bloodless bat man
Originally planned for a July 2020 premiere before the pandemic pushed it back, “Morbius” is ostensibly Sony Pictures’ attempt to recapture the “Spider-Man”-adjacent success of its gonzo “Venom” franchise. Instead it feels as gloppy and formless as the symbiote himself. FOX film critic Caroline Siede reviews Jared Leto's super-powered vampire flick.
TV recap: ‘Welcome to Flatch’ dances it out
In episode three of "Welcome to Flatch," Kelly and Shrub want to try "walking like the Hawking" — Tony Hawk, that is. Here's FOX TV critic Caroline Siede on "Dance It Out."
TV review: Marvel’s ‘Moon Knight’ is promising but weirdly paced
The fun of “Moon Knight” — the latest Marvel show to debut on Disney+ — is the engagingly disorienting way it throws viewers into the deep end with its “Memento”-esque mystery. FOX TV critic Caroline Siede reviews the new Oscar Isaac series.
