Horror, not comedy, has been the go-to movie genre in recent years, but "One of Them Days," starring Keke Palmer and SZA, is a good reminder of what we've been missing. This buddy comedy arrives while Los Angeles has been decimated by wildfires, reminding audiences that the communal joys of big-screen comedy suit dark days just as much as light ones.
In this frenetically empty sequel, the most cartoonish performance comes from Jim Carrey, who reprises his role as Doctor Robotnik and transforms every line into extravagant pantomime.
"The film Juror No. 2 presents a convoluted narrative that seems to challenge the viewer's understanding of justice, revealing both Clint Eastwood's strengths and flaws as a filmmaker. The discussion between Sean and Adam sheds light on varying interpretations and the complexities embedded within the plot."
"Fede Álvarez may have been the perfect director to refresh the Alien film franchise. His movie Alien: Romulus is incredibly well shot, with the camera slinking like a predator down each beautiful hallway in the failing Romulus space station, building tension with each step the characters take. Problem is, he just happened to be the worst possible writer for the job, too."
