Overstuffed and bland to a fault, the film struggles so mightily to be a crowd pleaser that it squanders most of the charm and authenticity that could have made it something special.
“Under Paris”
Dumb yet creative, the movie takes its outlandish premise to all the places that fans of the killer shark genre will appreciate.
“Kinds of Kindness”
An unsettling triptych of stories that hits all of the director’s high notes: macabre and funny, yet also disturbing and cruel.
“MaXXXine”
There’s plenty of blood and gore to appease slasher fanatics along with hefty themes about sex, opportunity, religion, and Hollywood’s dark underbelly.
“Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F”
An enjoyable (if predictable) ride for those looking to revisit old friends and relive the magic of the original films.
“Despicable Me 4”
Move along: there’s nothing original to see here.
