‘Top Gun 2’: Film critic eats his shoe (literally) over ‘Top Gun: Maverick’
In 2010, when news first broke that star Tom Cruise and producer Jerry Bruckheimer were interested in making a sequel to the 1986 classic “Top Gun,” film critic Matt Patches jokingly tweeted, “If Top Gun 2 happens, I will eat a shoe”.This is his story.
‘Top Gun: Maverick’ review: ‘Top Gun 2’ is a gloriously corny nostalgia fest
“Top Gun: Maverick” offers a double dose of nostalgia — both for that 1980s original and for the halcyon Americana it evoked in the first place. FOX film critic Caroline Siede reviews the sequel to a Tom Cruise action classic.

Movie review: Let’s generalize about ‘Men’
"Men" has a great trailer. But Alex Garland's latest film has precious little to add to the experience of watching its promotional materials. Despite the efforts of its stars, watching “Men” is like strolling up to the edge of the ocean only to discover that it’s just a big piece of painted scenery. FOX film critic reviews A24's latest horror film.
Now streaming: ‘The Lost City’ almost strikes gold
“The Lost City,” now streaming on Paramount+, is a good-not-great adventure romance in the vein of “Romancing The Stone,” and in an era of Hollywood in which those kinds of movies are few and far between, perhaps we’re just lucky to have this one at all. FOX film critic Caroline Siede reviews this Sandra Bullock/Channing Tatum rom-com.
Jennie Garth on parenting, podcasts and her new Tubi thriller ‘Bad Influence’
Jennie Garth may be best known for TV shows like "Beverly Hills, 90210," "What I Like About You" and "Jennie Garth: A Little Bit Country," but her latest project is a soapy cinematic thriller. The Tubi original movie "Bad Influence" follows a single mom whose teenage daughter winds up getting sucked into a high school cult. And, according to Garth, it was actually a surprise that she wound up taking the role at all.
‘Downton Abbey: A New Era’ review: Mamma Mia, here we go again
“Downton Abbey: A New Era” is still very much a “for fans only” affair; one that throws viewers right back into the deep end when it comes to the soapy lives of the Crawley family and their loyal servants. But “A New Era” is both more focused and more substantial than the first "Downton" film, which makes it especially satisfying to step back into its cozily rose-colored, slightly ridiculous take on early 20th century England. FOX film critic Caroline Siede reviews the latest return to a TV favorite.

Marvel second installments ranked — including ‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness’
Benedict Cumberbatch’s Dr. Stephen Strange may have five Marvel Cinematic Universe credits to his name, but, remarkably, he’s only just now getting an official follow-up to his 2016 debut film, “Doctor Strange.” That’s part of the charm of the sprawling MCU.

‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness’ review: Marvel makes a messy horror movie
If you’ll forgive the pun, “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” is a strange movie. It’s one-third a sweaty act of Marvel brand expansion; one-third a somewhat confusing follow-up to the Disney+ series “WandaVision”; and one-third a pretty fun Sam Raimi action horror comedy in the vein of his “Evil Dead” series. FOX film critic Caroline Siede reviews Marvel's latest.
