    ​It was truly an event weekend at the box office, with the Christopher Nolan helmed WWII epic “Dunkirk” and the Luc Besson visual smorgasbord “Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets”.  Both films are definitely meant to be experienced in theaters. While I felt that it was unlike something we’ve seen before from WWII…

    ​It’s finally a good week at the movies, with very impressive VFX bonanza (banana-za?) “War for the Planet of the Apes” and the incredibly heartfelt and heartwarming “The Big Sick.” “War for the Planet of the Apes” is the third in the Apes reboot from Fox, and it’s one of the few series that has…

    ​What happens when two major movie studios finally decide to team up? We get our 6th Spider-Man film in 15 years! Tom Holland dons the Spidey-Suit for his first solo foray as the web-slinger, with a little help from Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man. People are calling this the best film in the MCU…

    ​Edgar Wright is back in action with “Baby Driver” starring Ansel Elgort, Jon Hamm, Eiza Gonzalez, Lily James, Jamie Foxx, Kevin Spacey and probably the best soundtrack of the summer. From an idea that’s been rattling around in Edgar Wright’s brain for 20 odd years (so almost older than the star) comes an action packed…

    ​Michael Bay is back with the 5th Transformers movie, “Transformers: The Last Knight”, and oh what a movie it is. This week also brings “The Bad Batch” from director/writer Ana Lily Amirpour. Spectacle is certainly one way to describe “Transformers: The Last Knight” though that isn’t necessarily a good thing. I don’t think they knew…

    ​This week’s film is the family friendly “Cars 3” which offers both high speed thrills and some much needed female empowerment. “Cars 3” marks the return of Owen Wilson as Lightning McQueen and Larry the Cable Guy as Tow Mater. More importantly it marks the introduction of Cristela Alonzo as Cruz Ramirez and Armie Hammer…

    ​Summer is heating up in the volume of releases, unfortunately “The Mummy” starring Tom Cruise is more of a wet blanket. “My Cousin Rachel” and “Band Aid” are thankfully more refreshing. I’m not sure what Universal is intending with their kickoff to their Dark Universe, but having Tom Cruise headline “The Mummy” as their initial…

    ​After 76 years “Wonder Woman” finally hits the big screen! The stakes could not have been higher for Diana of Themyscira’s first full length feature film. Thankfully in the hands of Patty Jenkins and Gal Gadot, “Wonder Woman” delights. I don’t care if you’re a man, woman, or muppet, you should see this film. It’s…

    It’s a nautical Memorial Day weekend in store, unfortunately they are both shipwrecks. Prepare for lots of water themed jokes. My beloved Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Zac Efron lead the Baywatch squad. In spite of their individual charm, and a ton of slow motion, Baywatch is a flop. Alexandra Daddario, Kelly Rohrbach, and Ilfenesh…

    ​This week brings Ridley Scott’s latest foray back into the world of “Alien” as well as the umpteenth retelling of the Arthurian legend from director Guy Ritchie. “Alien: Covenant” is a Fassbender fest for which I am grateful. Though it’s a sequel to a prequel (yes I’m scratching my head at that too) it holds…
