I blame Christopher Nolan: this film is far, far, too long. The concept is quite interesting and complex, and the first half hour tees things up intriguingly but thereafter it just disappoints with a surfeit of dialogue and very little menace before delivering a conclusion that for someone who worked in live television for thirty years is implausible bordering on the downright preposterous. "Daniel" (Josh O'Connor) has a narrow escape from the nasty "Noah" (Colin Firth) who wants to get back a mysterious glowing device that he has pinched. Meantime, television weather forecaster "Margaret" (Emily Blunt) takes a bit of a turn. Inexplicably, she can now speak fluent Korean and then passes out at the prospect of telling Kansans that hail is looming. How could these two events possibly be connected? Well that's what we find out as the mother of all, very extended and somewhat repetitive, car chases gradually fills us in on a plan being co-ordinated by "Hugo" (Colman Domingo - the only man so far who actually needed to speak with an American accent) that isn't really understood by anyone - including himself! Is there something extra-terrestrial afoot here? All the while the world is fac

**A Movie Made by Dinosaurs, for the Dinosaurs** I wanted to like Disclosure Day. The premise—a government agent racing to expose classified alien contact—should be tense, urgent, relevant. Instead, what we get is a film so divorced from how the actual world works that it feels like it was written by people who've been in a bunker since 1987. The core problem: when your protagonist needs to leak classified information in 2026 or whenever this is supposed to happen, why in God's name are we watching them scheme about getting it done through a news room? The movie shows thumb drives, AI, all this modern tech—and then treats a television newsroom like it's the only lever that matters. It's nonsensical. If you want to burn a government secret to the world, you don't need Walter Cronkite anymore. There are better platforms on the internet. The infrastructure exists. The filmmakers simply have no clue how modern information systems work. And then there's the blandness. The villains have no depth—why do they actually care about keeping this secret? The heroes have no passion—what's driving them besides a vague sense of duty? There's no tension, no stakes that feel real, no reason to inves

Director Steven Spielberg’s filmography is legendary, to say the least. Movies like “Jaws” (1975), “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” (1977), “Raiders of the Lost Ark” (1981), “E.T.: The Extraterrestrial” (1982), “Schindler’s List” (1993) and “Jurassic Park” (1993) have gone down as classics in the annals of filmmaking. And, even though some of his works in more recent years haven’t quite lived up to the quality of past efforts, it’s comforting to know that he’s still got what it takes when he gets behind the camera. This is where his latest release, “Disclosure Day,” comes into play, easily his best picture in years. This sci-fi/conspiracy theory/personal discovery thriller sports a multifaceted narrative that’s probably too complex to detail here, but that’s likely to be beneficial to viewers who walk into the theater knowing little, if anything about it in advance. In fact, I’d actually recommend approaching this offering from that standpoint to allow it to wash over you organically, to experience and wrap yourself up in the sense of awe and wonder it evokes without the hindrance of too many preconceptions. The one thing I will say about it is that it’s more than just another
