Movies starring Eve

Despicable Me 3 is an example of how even the most promising animated franchises can hit a wall if allowed to continue too long. One can understand why Universal greenlit this film. The previous two (or three if you count the spin-off Minions)...

For a movie that was posited as one of 2024’s heavy hitters, Despicable Me 4 is strangely inconsequential, especially coming in the wake of the more substantive Inside Out 2. More of a “big screen cartoon” than a legitimate “animated featu...

I can easily see how the consensus reaction to Destination Wedding could be overwhelmingly negative. It’s not easy to spend 90 minutes in the company of two narcissistic, self-absorbed misanthropes. For Frank (Keanu Reeves) and Lindsay (Wino...

About the most positive comment I can offer about Dr. Dolittle 2 is that it's not as painful to endure as its 1998 predecessor, Dr. Dolittle. Unlike the earlier Eddie Murphy effort about the M.D. who can talk with animals, the second installment m...

When it comes to spoofs of horror films, one of the greatest of all time is surely Mel Brooks' Young Frankenstein, a movie that's as clever as it is funny. Now, more than two decades later, Brooks has attempted to re-create the magic by doing to B...
