“Baby Driver” should have been a breath of fresh air, an antidote to franchise fatigue. It’s a stand-alone movie, made with adults in mind, and directed by a talented, iconoclastic director (Edgar Wright). There’s only one problem: it’s just okay … More Baby Driver

It’s a blur of motion, a two and a half hour drone of constant noise and explosions without rhyme or reason. It’s such a sickening assault on the senses that it starts to feel like a fever dream…of poop … More Transformers: The Last Knight

The big new movie this week is “The Mummy,” starring Tom Cruise, and, frankly, it looks dreadful. So, I didn’t feel like paying for and wasting time on it. My brother then suggested, “Why don’t you write about ‘Raiders’?” … More Raiders of the Lost Ark – A Look Back

Not only was the movie not in a rush to get anywhere, it was in no hurry to be funny or even the least bit entertaining on the way … More Baywatch

I don’t want to waste any more time on this movie than I have to, so I’ll make this quick: “King Arthur: Legend of the Sword” is forgettable and not worth a trip to the theater … More King Arthur: Legend of the Sword

The original was good, but it had room for improvement. And “Vol. 2” is a classic example of one step forward, two steps back. While it improves some aspects of its progenitor, it messes up other ones … More Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2

So I drove an hour to the nearest theater that was screening the movie, and you know what? It was worth it … More Your Name
