Movie Review: 'Snow White' is no poisoned apple but it doesn't whistle

Good intentions, like swirling bluebirds, flutter through the new live-action “Snow White.” But all those well-meaning efforts add up to a mishmash of a fable, caught in between now and once upon a time, writes Associated Press Film Writer Jake Coyle in his review. Despite some gloriously lush production design, “Snow White” can’t quite find its own rhythm. Even the new songs that are good struggle to fit in alongside old standbys. Rachel Zegler does a spirited job remaking a classic Disney princess into a more modern woman. When she sings, the movie gets a lift. But the strain of renovation shows, particularly in its awkward CGI handling of Dopey, Sneezy and company.

Movie Review: Jonathan Majors plays a man on the edge in the dark drama ‘Magazine Dreams’

Jonathan Majors plays an amateur bodybuilder in the dark drama “Magazine Dreams.” The film is the first major release since Majors was convicted of assaulting his former girlfriend. Written and directed by Elijah Bynum, “Magazine Dreams” was filmed before Majors' conviction and is an unsettling portrait of ambition, violence and unresolved trauma, writes Lindsey Bahr in her review for The Associated Press. Bahr adds that, “it’s impossible to deny the monumental ferocity of Majors’ performance, from his full transformation to his unsettling ability to show the pain behind (most of) the psychotic actions.” “Magazine Dreams” opens in theaters Friday. It's rated R.

CBS' '60 Minutes' is unflinching in its White House coverage in the shadow of Trump's $20B lawsuit

Movie Review: Even 2 De Niros aren’t quite enough to make ‘Alto Knights’ a successor to ‘Goodfellas’

Robert De Niro's doing double duty in “The Alto Knights,” literally. He plays both lead roles in this true life-based tale of feuding mobsters Frank Costello and Vito Genovese. In development for decades, director Barry Levinson’s movie is written by “Goodfellas” scribe Nicholas Pileggi and tracks how two childhood friends went in different directions on the mean streets of New York City. In her review, Associated Press critic Jocelyn Noveck writes that despite a number of entertaining and witty moments, the film falls short of the mob movie magic of earlier films like “Goodfellas.” In theaters Friday.

NEW YORK (AP) — The new Paramount+ series “Happy Face” has all the elements of a gripping true-crime yarn: A serial killer, his estranged daughter, a race to get an innocent man off death row.
