'Dark Phoenix' ends 20th Century Fox's run of X-Men movies not with a bang, but with a whimper.

A new movie premiering at the Seattle International Film Festival focuses on how Seahawks legend Marshawn Lynch used his silence as a weapon.

'Rocketman' is full of embarrassing story-telling cliches and simplistic psychology but it's also punctuated with musical numbers that break the too-tidy narrative and give it some imaginative breadth.

Disney's 'Aladdin' remake isn't amazing, but will please fans. There are diamonds in the rough to be found in this version, if you're willing to look.

KIRO Radio's Tom Tangney reviews the Seattle International Film Festival of 2019 with the top 10 best bets.

"Tolkien," the movie about the man who invented Middle Earth is decidedly not high drama. In fact, it's barely drama at all.

I blame Jordan Peele. The brilliant director of "Get Out" and "Us" has recently raised my expectations of what genre pictures can deliver. Peele managed to take stock horror material and elevate it by infusing it with sociological and political import.

"Avengers: Endgame" may very well set the record for the highest-grossing opening weekend in American history. If so, it will have earned every dollar.

A relatively low budget British film called "Teen Spirit" covers familiar singing competition ground, but it does so with such a melancholy air that it seems almost fresh.

High Life is a work of art. It's a work of art that you really have to work at to appreciate, since it makes very few concessions to its audience regarding storyline or characters.
