'Abominable' brings only small charms to latest Yeti yarn

7 years ago
"Abominable" brings smallish charms to animation's latest Bigfoot tale. A collaboration of DreamWorks and China's Pearl Studio, the familiar formula about a kid with a fantastic friend -- here, a girl trying to help a Yeti go home -- possesses an undeniable "E.T." vibe, conjuring good moments, but no over-the-moon ones.

'The Laundromat' puts poor spin on Panama Papers case

7 years ago
"The Laundromat" makes a pointed political statement, while spinning out a garbled mess of a movie. In the process, director Steven Soderbergh mostly squanders a cast toplined by Meryl Streep, in a Netflix film that plays like a darkly satiric connection of vignettes that lost something -- mostly, a coherent narrative -- in the rinse cycle.

'Judy' hits high note for Renee Zellweger as Judy Garland

7 years ago
The appeal of "Judy" is as simple as its title -- watching Renee Zellweger inhabit the role of Judy Garland near the end of her life in boozy, jittery, soaring fashion. There are virtually no surprises in this dutiful biography, which could easily be a sort of gender-switch "A Star is Born," only with Garland portraying the aging superstar.

Billie Eilish and more to perform at Global Goal Live

7 years ago
Billie Eilish, Janelle Monáe, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Pharrell Williams, Coldplay and Shawn Mendes are among the artists that will take the stage in a transcontinental concert that evokes Live Aid, which transfixed the world 35 years ago and raised millions to fight the famine in Ethiopia.

'The Politician' is an underachiever

7 years ago
Marking Ryan Murphy's first series for Netflix, "The Politician" feels like a mashup of the producer's high-school-set dramas -- a dollop of "Scream Queens," a dash of "Glee," and a whole lot of the Alexander Payne-directed movie "Election." Throw in some high-profile casting, and it's a shiny but not especially bright bauble that falls short of a winning ticket.
