DVD REVIEW: Denzel Washington's 'Equalizer 3' isn't thrice as nice

Passion project: Actor David Oyelowo fights to tell the Bass Reeves story
David Oyelowo spent 8 years trying to get a film made about Bass Reeves, one of the first Black U.S. deputy marshals west of the Mississippi. And now? There’s "Lawmen: Bass Reeves." "That’s the power of Taylor Sheridan,” says writer/showrunner…

DVD REVIEW: Scrappy 'Gran Turismo' puts audience in driver's seat
Totally predictable, “Gran Turismo” doesn’t have the kind of photography that would make this seem like a 1960s Cinerama epic. It’s a fairly scrappy film, filled with drone shots that track the cars but don’t get in the way.
'Message in a Bottle' finds new meaning in Sting songs
Choreographer Kate Prince took Sting’s hits and used them as the basis for “Message in a Bottle,” a dance program that tells the story of a family forced to leave their homeland and embark on a journey to freedom.

REVIEW: 'Lessons in Chemistry' gets too serious; 'Frasier' looks familiar
Visually, "Lessons in Chemistry" hits all the right notes. It looks like the story of a woman in the 1960s. It moves like an expensive vehicle; sadly, it doesn’t have any of the fun – or surprise – of the…
REVIEW: Scorsese wows with compelling ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’
Detailing the way outsiders preyed on the Osage Nation in the 1920s, the sprawling "Killers of the Flower Moon" wrings out moments that will remind you of other great films – a little “Godfather” here, a little “Giant” there and…
Adrian Peterson doesn't fumble but still gets ejected from 'Dancing with the Stars'
The one who was good – Adrian Peterson – was eliminated from the competition. Truthfully, he was not the worst.
DVD REVIEW: New 'Night Court' recalls old edition's spirit
