We're continuing to blaze a trail through the many, many movies opening on October 10 here at Breakfast All Day. Earlier this week, we reviewed TRON: ARES, A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE and KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN. Today, we discussed: ROOFMAN: Channing Tatum is ridiculously charming as a robber who escapes from prison and hides inside a Toys "R" Us store for six months. This actually happened. We enjoyed Tatum's performance, and the cast is strong, but the tone is off from indie director Derek Cianfrance. In theaters. URCHIN: Harris Dickinson makes an auspicious filmmaking debut with this gritty and intimate tale of addiction. Dickinson writes, directs and has a small supporting role, but Frank Dillane is the star as a young man trying to get clean but getting in his own way. In theaters. MOVIE NEWS LIVE! This was a lengthy one since we took last week off and there's so much to discuss. Among this week's topics were "Marty Supreme," the Riyadh Comedy Festival, the Melania Trump documentary, Rush reuniting with a new drummer, and the Smashing Pumpkins smoothie at Erewhon. We're hoping to go live again next Friday, so stay tuned for details. Thanks for being with us during this busy time!

Episode 558: Tron: Ares, A House of Dynamite, Kiss of the Spider Woman
October 10 is such an insanely packed week that we wanted to review a few of the new releases a little early here at Breakfast All Day: TRON: ARES: The third movie in the "Tron" series has a dopey script but extremely cool visual effects and a great soundtrack from Nine Inch Nails. See it on a giant screen and pretend you're watching a two-hour music video. Jared Leto, Greta Lee and Evan Peters star. In theaters this weekend. A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE: Kathryn Bigelow is back with a sharp, tense tale about what happens when an unknown country launches a nuclear strike against the United States. Rebecca Ferguson, Anthony Ramos, Tracy Letts, Gabriel Basso and Jared Harris are among the incredible ensemble cast. This is one of the year's best. In theaters this weekend before streaming on Netflix Oct. 24. KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN: This splashy movie musical from "Dreamgirls" director Bill Condon features dazzling production numbers, lush production values and great performances from Jennifer Lopez, Diego Luna and Tonatiuh, who is going to be a star. In theaters this weekend. Check back with us on Friday when we'll have reviews of "Roofman" and "Urchin" as well as Movie News LIVE! Join us at our YouTube channel at Noon Pacific.

Episode 557: Good Boy, Play Dirty, Are We Good? reviews
We'll spin around and wag our tails for a treat -- we're kinda shameless that way here at Breakfast All Day. October begins with reviews of three very different films: GOOD BOY, a lean and clever horror movie told from a dog's perspective. Indy, who's director and co-writer Ben Leonberg's own retriever, is actually the best boy. And in case you're worried: He's OK at the end. In theaters. PLAY DIRTY, a listless action comedy from director and co-writer Shane Black, who's had a much better track record with this kind of movie in the past ("Kiss Kiss Bang Bang," "The Nice Guys"). Mark Wahlberg and LaKeith Stanfield lead an ensemble cast. Streaming on Prime Video, but you should avoid it. ARE WE GOOD?, an intimate documentary that looks at the life and career of comedian and "WTF Podcast" host Marc Maron. In particular, it focuses on how he's working through grief after the death of his girlfriend, filmmaker Lynn Shelton. We liked this. In theaters. Next week is nuts, with about eight movies coming out that have awards potential, or at least year-end buzz. So keep your ears open, and we'll help guide you through this busy time.

We're wrapping up September with a quick and random episode of Breakfast All Day so we can get out to the theater and see our people in person! Tonight's the night for our meet-and-greet at CinemaWest Beach Cities in El Segundo. We'll be at the lobby bar before the 6pm showing of "One Battle After Another." Come say hi around 530, grab a drink and a Pink's hot dog, then check out Paul Thomas Anderson's new epic on their Giant screen. Details and tickets are available here: https://web.cinemawest.com/films/One-Battle-After-Another/HO00000209 As for new reviews, we begin with "Eleanor the Great," Scarlett Johansson's directorial debut. June Squibb stars as 94-year-old woman who moves back to New York after the loss of her best friend and tells a big lie that spirals out of control. This movie is a mess tonally, but Squibb is always a delight. In theaters. Next up is "Strange Journey: The Story of Rocky Horror." This is a documentary about "The Rocky Horror Picture Show," the ultimate cult movie, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary today. Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon, Barry Bostwick, Richard O'Brien and many more share their memories of this groundbreaking, enduring film, which is still playing in midnight showings decades later. In theaters. Finally, it's Movie News LIVE! Jimmy Kimmel's back, trailers for "The Mandalorian and Grogu" and "The Bride," the "Weapons" spin-off movie about Aunt Gladys and much more.
