  • Carol Channing: Larger Than Life (2011)

  • Mary Poppins Returns (2018)
    Review preview for Mary Poppins Returns

    The stakes are high and the fears tangible in this return, which invites discussion and doesn't protect parents from uncomfortable questions. This is the power of the film. Mary Poppins herself wouldn't want it any other way.

  • Mr. Popper's Penguins (2011)
    Review preview for Mr. Popper's Penguins

    Amber Wilkinson · 3 out of 5
    Penguins prove pivotal for a part-time pop.

  • Murder, She Wrote: Season 6 (1989)

    More crimes to be solved by author-turned-sleuth JB Fletcher, more roles for fading Hollywood stars.
  • Women He's Undressed (2015)
    Review preview for Women He's Undressed
