    Dinos. Dinos. Dinos. This week is “Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom” which many other critics have been hating on pretty hard, but it’s exactly what you’d expect from a “Jurassic World” film (for better or worse). I don’t get the level of animosity directed at the film, it’s not as revelatory as “Jurassic Park” was (but…

    This week brings a sequel 14 years in the making, and a comedy based on real events 30+ years in the making. It’s “Incredibles 2” and “Tag” Disney Pixar’s “Incredibles 2” picks up pretty much right where “The Incredibles” left off. I don’t think folks are going to be disappointed by this sequel. Brad Bird…

    For the first time in a long time I am not stoked about a new “Star Wars” film. This week is “Solo: A Star Wars Story” – spoiler free of course. The Ethan Hawke vehicle, “First Reformed” and what should be a required viewing piece, “RBG.” I was apprehensive about “Solo: A Star Wars Story”…

    My boy Ryan Reynolds is back as Wade Wilson in “Deadpool 2”! But does it live up to the first? Ryan Reynolds is back as the Merc with a Mouth in “Deadpool 2”, as are Morena Baccarin’s Vanessa, Brianna Hildebrand’s Negasonic Teenage Warhead, T.J. Miller’s Weasel, Leslie Uggams’ Blind Al, and everyone’s favorite cab driver,…

    This week brings the latest Melissa McCarthy comedy, “Life of the Party.” I actually like Melissa McCarthy. I get a little tired of the roles she takes sometimes because I think she’s capable of doing comedy that isn’t just about size or homeliness. This film is a step in that direction, with the comedy centering…
