American Made, Battle of the Sexes, Victoria & Abdul
It’s a a biopic bonanza with the triple feature of “American Made” starring Tom Cruise, the Billie Jean King story – “Battle of the Sexes” starring Emma Stone and Steve Carell, and finally the Queen Victoria vehicle, “Victoria & Abdul” starring Judi Dench and Ali Fazal.

Detroit
She leads a cast of John Boyega, Will Poulter, Algee Smith, Jacob Latimore, Jason Mitchell, Hannah Murray, Jack Reynor, John Krasinski, Anthony Mackie and more in the retelling of the Algiers Motel incident in Detroit in 1967.

I was disappointed by “The Hitman’s Bodyguard” – with a cast like Reynolds, Jackson, Salma Hayek, and Gary Oldman, you’d think they’d be…
