‘White Noise’ is a mixed bag
Rating: ««out of ««««
Running Time:
136 minutes
This feature is now streaming on Netflix.
As 2022 came to an end, it certainly seemed as if there were a lot of grandiose (and lengthy) features striving to combine many elements and ideas into a cohesive whole. Based on a well-regarded book by Don DeLillo, White Noise attempts to combine comedy with personal drama, as well as elements from disaster pictures. Heck, it even throws in a dance number for good measure. It’s all a bit messy and the results are ultimately uneven, but at least there are individual sections that do work and a few fun moments to behold.
The film starts in 1984 and focuses on a charismatic but...

Running Time: 188 minutes
This feature from Paramount Pictures opened at theaters on December 23.
Sometimes, advertising about a movie can be misleading.
The new film Babylon has been described in some circles as a drama/comedy set during the days of early Hollywood that depicts the outrageous excesses and decadence of stars and producers. Yes, there is a wild party presented early on, but the movie is actually a story about various silent performers and producers adapting to change when sound technology is introduced (one imagines this plot synopsis wasn’t considered exciting enough). And it also tries to sandwich in a message about the power of...
The best movies of 2022
With New Year’s Eve fast approaching, it is a perfect opportunity to list some personal favorite movies from 2022.First off, the biopic Till from United Artists makes a lasting impression. Telling a horrific true story of a group of white supremacists murdering a black teenager and the effect this event had on his mother, the film boasts a memorable performance by Danielle Deadwyler as Mamie Till that perfectly encapsulates a mother’s grief and fury.
While we critics do tend to laud heavy dramas, this reviewer remains taken by Avatar: The Way of Water and its awe-inspiring spectacle. Yes, this sequels’ family drama is corny (although this reviewer did find...
