    Aaron Sorkin is back in the directing chair (don’t worry he’s still writing too) with the timely The Trial of the Chicago 7 on Netflix. More about The Trial of the Chicago 7: What was intended to be a peaceful protest at the 1968 Democratic National Convention turned into a violent clash with police and…

    The War with Grandpa wastes a perfectly good geriatric cast (led by Robert De Niro). The only scary thing about the Blumhouse film The Lie is how bad it is. More about The War with Grandpa: Sixth-grader Peter (Oakes Fegley) is pretty much your average kid-he likes gaming, hanging with his friends and his beloved…

    Lots to review this week: The Glorias brings Gloria Steinem’s stories to the screen. A Call to Spy tells an important story that deserves a better platform. The Boys in the Band brings a probably outdated play to the screen but doesn’t take advantage of the increased flexibility. Emily in Paris is an escapist dream…

    While Mulan should have come out in theaters – it’s probably worth a stream, meanwhile this review thinks The New Mutants shouldn’t have come out at all. Read a fuller review of Mulan here More about Mulan: Acclaimed filmmaker Niki Caro brings the epic tale of China’s legendary warrior to life in Disney’s “Mulan,” in…

    Lots of streaming from home options this week with “Chemical Hearts” “Tesla” and “Boys State”. Unfortunately “Chemical Hearts” lacks heart – it’s like an AI wrote a script of what it thought would be marketable to teens. Lili Reinhart and Austin Abrams star. “Tesla” is an uninspired portrait of an inspiring figure. Ethan Hawke provides…

    “Project Power” thinks its reinventing the wheel but really it’s just recycling, while “An American Pickle” might be worth marinating in. “Project Power” on Netflix feels like it’s a bunch of VFX and video game storyboards strung together. The only saving grace is the acting of Dominique Fishback, Jamie Foxx, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Machine Gun…

    “Summerland” is inconsistent but the love story is refreshing, and “The Umbrella Academy” is back! More about “Summerland” – Alice is a reclusive writer, resigned to a solitary life on the seaside cliffs of Southern England while World War II rages across the channel.

    Dave Franco’s directorial debut “The Rental” probably isn’t worth the price of a rental, and the Amazon Studios Marie Curie biopic “Radioactive” may cause fallout. More about The Rental: Two couples on an oceanside getaway grow suspicious that the host of their seemingly perfect rental house may be spying on them. Before long, what should have been a celebratory…
