Take Two:”CODA” (PG-13)
This year's Oscar-winner for Best Picture is the little indie that could. Susan and Russ review the comic drama, "CODA."
FREEZE FRAME: “All the Old Knives” (R), “Sonic the Hedgehog 2” (PG), “Agent Game” (R)
The HBO Max cloak-and-dagger drama "All the Old Knives" is a well-acted espionage thriller with a plot that twists like a mobius strip. Chris Pine and Thandiwe Newton add steamy eroticism as former lovers who reunite years after their CIA field intelligence office mishandled a hijacking case that left over...
Take Two: “The Bubble” (R)
Writer/director Judd Apatow ("Knocked Up") takes aim at Hollywood pomposity in the Netflix satirical comedy "The Bubble." Cast members include Leslie Mann ("Blithe Spirit"), Keegan Michael Key ("The Prom") and Kate McKinnon ("Joe vs. Carol").
Freeze Frame: “Morbius” (PG-13), “The Bubble” (R), “Better Nate Than Ever” (PG), “The Devil You Know” (R), “Apollo 10 1/2” (PG-13)

It's watchable, but the by-the-numbers execution...
Take Two: “The Lost City” (PG-13)
Sandra Bullock ("Unforgivable") and Channing Tatum ("Dog") star in the wacky rom-com fantasy, "The Lost City."
Freeze Frame: “The Lost City” PG-13, “Infinite Storm” (R), “All My Friends Hate Me” (R)
Anyone who has seen the classic 1984 romantic action comedy "Romancing the Stone" may feel a bit of deja vu watching the slapstick adventure movie "The Lost City." Sandra Bullock plays Loretta, a romance novelist kidnapped by a wealthy bad guy, played by Daniel “Harry Potter” Radcliffe. He needs her...
Take Two: “Windfall” (R)
Jesse Plemons ("The Power of the Dog"), Lily Collins ("Emily in Paris") and Jason Segel ("How I Met Your Mother") star in the new Netflix suspense thriller, "Windfall."
Freeze Frame: “Deep Water” (R), “Windfall” (R), “Master” (R)
The Hulu movie "Deep Water" desperately wants to be an erotic thriller like some of director Adrian Lyne's earlier films like "Fatal Attraction." Sadly, this poorly paced adaptation of Patricia Highsmith's novel is fatal, but there's little attraction. Ben Affleck portrays a wealthy snob who may or may not be...
