Movie review: Talented cast can’t bring ‘Haunted Mansion’ to life

9 months ago By Katie Walsh Tribune News Service
Is there anything more menacing than a film opening with the credit: “and Jared Leto as the Hatbox Ghost”? What a bone-chilling sequence of words. Unfortunately, that’s the only part of the new “Haunted Mansion” that might send shivers down your spine. The rest of this PG-13 ghost romp based on a Disneyland ride elicits only yawns, even when the aforementioned guest star shows up (somewhat) as the be-hatted spirit in question.

The lesson Hollywood should learn from ‘Barbenheimer’? Let originality come through

9 months ago By Michael Phillips Chicago Tribune
“Barbenheimer” saved the movie universe this week by handing eager audiences an eyeful of two very different planets. Neither “Barbie” nor “Oppenheimer” was “just another,” meaning: not just another sequel to a proven, if fading, franchise. Or just another superhero, trapping in a quantum realm somewhere in a Marvel soundstage in Atlanta, looking for a decent return on the usual $300 million investment.
