Eddington Movie Review

A lot of your enjoyment of Eddington will be based on how much you’ve recovered from that undeniably bleak period of time.

These include conspiracy theories, government over governance and the big bad that lurks behind all unexplained plot points in films such as this. It’s an intoxicating medley.   //   Set in a small, downwardly mobile town in New Mexico, Eddington has seen ...

It’s not as much of a stand-out as part one, but it is still a lot of fun. The fun this time is provided by Sharon Stone as Lendina and her gang of deadly malcontents. She almost vibrates with ramped-up energy and neurosis.   //   Revolving around a much-needed family vacation, the Mansells ...
