Running Time: 100 minutes

This feature from Disney and Pixar will begin playing exclusively at theaters on Friday, June, 14.

Remarkably, it has now been nine years since the Pixar/Disney film Inside Out debuted at theaters. The picture, about the emotions of a youngster, was such a critical and commercial hit that it is something of a surprise a follow-up hadn’t arrived sooner. Inside Out 2 features the lead character entering her teenage years and developing a new set of feelings that play havoc with her behavior. Truthfully, it’s a sequel that doesn’t match the original, yet has enough inventive and amusing moments to please.

Audiences should be warned that this film is closely...

Back in 1979, director George Miller created Mad Max, a dynamic little Australian action picture produced for well under $1 million. While the film became a massive success and went on to gross more than $100 million worldwide, even the filmmaker probably wouldn’t have anticipated creating several more hits based on this property. Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga is a prequel and spin-off marking the fifth chapter in the series arriving some 45 years after the first picture.

For this reviewer, it rarely seems necessary to create a prequel that fills...
