Rating: «« out of ««««

Running Time: 121 minutes

I’m not sure that anyone was pining for a sequel to the action pictures Olympus Has Fallen and London Has Fallen, but audiences are getting a third one. This reviewer was especially uncomfortable with another follow-up, especially considering how much I detested the...

Rating: ««« out of ««««

Running Time: 95 minutes

Rich people are awful. This is the assertion made by the film Ready or Not, and based upon the events depicted, it’s a pretty accurate portrait. It’s a gory, over-the-top horror effort with its tongue planted firmly in cheek that is reminiscent of titles like 2011’s You’re Next. Just like the previous movie, the feature attempts to mix thrills, laughs and buckets of blood in equal measure. Thankfully, much of it works and the end result is an amusing little genre flick.

Grace (Samara Weaving) is a young woman excited and anxious on her wedding day. She’s marrying a nice guy named Alex Le Domas (Mark O’Brien) but...

Rating: ««« out of ««««

Running Time: 90 minutes

Over the past couple of years, there have been plenty of coming-of-age comedies about kids growing up, dealing with conflict and strife in their personal relationships and coming away with strengthened bonds. Good Boys veers in a slightly different direction, taking its tween leads and putting them in increasingly exaggerated, over-the-top and, well, gross situations. Along the way, they find themselves broaching the barrier into, if not adulthood, then adolescence. Thankfully, there are enough big laughs to earn it a recommendation.

Max (Jacob Tremblay), Lucas (Keith L. Williams) and Thor (Brady Noon) are 12-years-old...
