'The Addams Family 2' hits the road to scare up more laughs

5 years ago
After its live-action movies in the 1990s, the Addams Family has found a logical foothold in animation, with "The Addams Family 2" scaring up enough laughs to merit the return, with a mix of low-brow humor for kids and old-time callbacks certain to sail over their heads. Only mildly creepy, it's just kooky enough to merit an encore, this time via a hybrid theatrical-digital release.

But other productions, including Netflix's own The Crown," loom large over this vibrant but oft-told tale, dutifully recounting Princess Diana's story through a less-than-memorable assortment of songs.

'Venom: Let There Be Carnage' could use some brains in more ways than one

Two head-chomping symbiotes aren't better than one in "Venom: Let There Be Carnage," a mind-numbingly tiresome sequel, filled with uninspired comedy and a CGI monster fight that seems to drag on forever. Although this falls under the Sony umbrella, it represents most toothless enterprise under Marvel's banner since its cinematic march began in 2008.

5 years ago
Emerging from his TV hibernation, Jon Stewart has taken John Oliver's deep-dive format into a single issue and gone a step further in "The Problem With Jon Stewart." If "The Daily Show" offered a satirical spin on the news, this Apple TV+ series is essentially a advocacy-based newsmagazine, one where the comedy bleeds out incidentally more than by actual planning.
