Breakfast All Day movie reviews

We'e been taking a little time off at the end of summer, but we'd never abandon you entirely. Here's what we've reviewed lately on Breakfast All Day.
COYOTE VS. ACME. Warner Bros. shelved this movie for the tax write-off in July 2023. Now it's in theaters thanks to Ketchup Entertainment, and the fact that it's great is the best revenge. Will Forte, Lana Condor, John Cena and all your favorite Looney Tunes characters star in this hilarious live action/animation hybrid.
BOORMAN AND THE DEVIL. If you love movies about making movies -- especially movies that are notorious flops -- you'll enjoy this documentary about John Boorman's "Exorcist II: The Heretic." Alonso has to recuse himself because he's friends with writer-director-editor David Kittredge, but we both agree that this is an impressive and entertaining deep-dive into 1970s Hollywood. In theaters.
FAME (1980): WAS IT GREAT OR WERE YOU 8? It's our favorite game to play, where we look back at the movies we loved from childhood to see whether they still hold up today. This time, Christy picked "Fame," the musical sensation about students at New York's performing arts high school striving for stardom. It won two Oscars and spawned a hit album and TV series. But is it still great? We'll find out.
Thanks for hanging out with us during this in-between period. All the big fall festival movies are coming, so we hope you'll stick around!

It's Arthouse Tuesday on a Friday, with some truly great new films. Here's what we reviewed on the latest episode of Breakfast All Day:
IT ENDS (NO Spoilers!): It's been such a great year for indie horror movies from exciting, young directors, and "It Ends" continues that trend. The debut feature from writer-director Alex Ullom finds four friends stuck in a car on a seemingly endless road, post-college. This is a non-spoiler review, because we want you to experience this for yourself, but join us at Noon Pacific time on Tuesday, Sept. 8 for a LIVE spoiler chat at our YouTube channel. In theaters.
THE RIVALS OF AMZIAH KING: It's a terrible title for one of the best films we've seen all year. Matthew McConaughey is mesmerizing as a beekeeper and musician in small-town Oklahoma. Angelina LookingGlass is a tremendous find as the former foster daughter who comes back into his life. The less you know going into Andrew Patterson's film, the better. In theaters, but not for long, so look for it near you.
DON'T SAY GOOD LUCK: Sunny Sandler is charming in this coming-of-age dramedy from director and co-writer Julia Hart ("Fast Color"). She plays a teenager who gets the lead in her high school production of "Waitress: The Musical" just as her mother's cancer returns. Melanie Lynskey, Stephanie Beatriz and Steve Buscemi lead the strong ensemble cast. Streaming now on Netflix.
MOVIE NEWS LIVE! Always a lot to talk about, even at the end of summer, including the death of Hayden Panettiere, "Dune: Part Three" tickets, D23 announcements, the latest milestone for "The Odyssey" and more. We won't be here the next couple Fridays, but join us again for our movie news livestream on Sept. 11.
We're taking the end of summer off, but we have some goodies stockpiled for you. We'd never abandon you completely! Thanks for starting your weekend with us.

An absolutely jam-packed, mid-August episode of Breakfast All Day. Here's what we've got for you:
THE END OF OAK STREET. Suburbia and dinosaurs and divorce! This isn't a Spielberg movie, but it sure feels like it. Anne Hathaway, Ewan McGregor, Maisy Stella and Christian Convery star as a family who wake up and discover that their pleasant cul-de-sac has been picked up and plopped down in the prehistoric era. From writer-director David Robert Mitchell. In theaters.
TEENAGE SEX AND DEATH AT CAMP MIASMA. We're catching up with Jane Schoenbrun's follow-up to "I Saw the TV Glow" as it expands into more theaters. Hannah Einbinder stars as a queer filmmaker who's reinvigorating a problematic horror franchise, with hopes that its reclusive, original Final Girl (Gillian Anderson) will star. Funny, thoughtful, self-aware and brimming with clever details. In theaters.
THE WRONG GIRLS. Kristen Stewart and Alia Shawkat co-star as stoner best friends who stumble across a mysterious substance that gives them unexpected powers, sort of? The feature debut from writer-director Dylan Meyer (Stewart's wife) is a larky romp across Los Angeles. Maybe it helps if you're high, too. Co-starring LaKeith Stanfield, Kate McKinnon, Seth Rogen and Kumail Nanjiani. In theaters.
MOVIE NEWS LIVE! What a treat! The great Dave White (Alonso's husband) joined our Friday livestream, so this went extra long. Among the many topics we covered were the latest in the Paramount/Warner Bros. merger, Nikki from "Obsession" joining Universal's Halloween Horror Nights, Nicholas Hoult joining the "Harry Potter" series and John Oliver's soap opera run. We're here Fridays at Noon Pacific. 
Thanks so much for starting your weekend with us!

We're in a bit of an in-between space as the summer blockbusters are winding down but fall festival season hasn't quite begun. But we've always got thoughts on whatever the latest movies are.
Here's what we reviewed this week on our Breakfast All Day podcast:
ONE NIGHT ONLY. It's "The Purge," but for sex. People can only do it once a year over a 12-hour period for ... reasons? We have lots of questions about this film's internal logic, as well as its general purpose. Monica Barbaro and Callum Turner star. In theaters.

TONY. Dominic Sessa stars as a young Anthony Bourdain, making mistakes and pissing people off during the summer of 1975 in Provincetown, Mass. Directed by Matt Johnson, who also made "Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie" this year. This one, we loved. In limited release now before opening nationwide Aug. 21.

MOVIE NEWS LIVE! Lots to discuss as always, including the record-breaking box office of "Spider-Man: Brand New Day," the trailer for "Primetime" starring Robert Pattinson, Ariana Grande taking a break from performing, and more. Join us on Fridays at Noon Pacific.

What a great turnout we had for our spoiler livestream about "Spider-Man: Brand New Day." 
Here, we get into all the revelations we didn't want to ruin in our non-spoiler review, including who Sadie Sink plays, what Damage Control is really up to, and what the last shot of the movie means. The fourth Tom Holland Spider-Man movie had a record-breaking opening weekend, so we're assuming a lot of you have seen it at this point.
We love having the opportunity to dig a little deeper when a movie merits this kind of conversation, so keep an eye out for more livestreams at our YouTube channel in the future. Thanks for being here!
