    This week brings two unfortunate box office entries with “Hellboy” and “High Life” while “Missing Link” is worthy of at least one viewing. “Hellboy” is an utter disappointment.

    Jordan Peele is back in action with the terrifying “Us” and then there’s the utterly skippable pseudo-tech thriller “The Hummingbird Project.” Jordan Peele continues to prove he’s a master of the horror genre with his follow up to “Get Out” – “Us.” It stars Lupita Nyong’o, Winston Duke, Elisabeth Moss, and Tim Heidecker. ​Meanwhile “The…

    Women’s History Month kicks off with “Greta” – of which the moral seems to be “no new friends”?​Isabelle Huppert is fantastic in “Greta”… everyone/thing else? Not so much. That includes Chloe Grace Moretz, which is a shame because she’s been great in other things. Greta stars Isabelle Huppert, Chloe Grace Moretz, Maika Monroe, Zawe Ashton,…
