“Good Omens 2” is worse than blasphemous, it’s boring. This new Amazon Prime show is a sequel to the amusing 2019 adaptation of Neil Gaiman and the late-Terry Pratchett’s 1990 novel parodying bad Christian eschatological fiction. In the…

Disney, our favorite left-wing corporate punching bag, is having a(nother) bad month. The company just reported fiscal fourth-quarter losses of a cool $710 million. Don’t worry, I’m sure its new woke live-action version of “Snow White” will…

“Oppenheimer” is Christopher Nolan’s greatest achievement as a filmmaker. He’s already had a long prolific career of excellent films, half of which were instant classics. But “Oppenheimer” really stands out in his canon. It will probably be…
