Rating: «« out of 4 stars

Running Time: 123 min.

Another week, another comic-book movie. At least, that’s the way it seems lately. The most recent tale to get the big cinematic treatment is from the DC universe, and at least it features a more unusual hook than many other superhero tales. Personally, I had a lot of...

Big New Releases!

April and the Extraordinary World - This animated effort from France follows a family of scientists on the brink of a great discovery. When they’re kidnapped, the youngest child goes on a journey to find the group responsible and save the clan. The movie received nearly unanimous positive notices from the press.

Running Time: 123 min.

It’s been nine years since we last saw Matt Damon as author Robert Ludlum’s uniquely skilled ex-CIA agent. Re-teaming with director Paul Greengrass (The Bourne Supremacy, The Bourne Ultimatum), Jason Bourne is the latest title in the lengthy series. Like many of the other chapters, this is a decent and well-produced action flick with a couple standout chases. The downside to this endeavor is that it all feels, for lack of a better term, overly familiar.

In the time since we last saw him, Bourne has gone off the grid, apparently making ends meet as an underground bare-knuckle boxer. His retreat doesn’t last long, as a face...

‘Bad Moms’ are more bland than badly behaved

Rating: «« out of 4 stars

Running Time: 101 min.

Bad Moms is the latest comedy from the writers of The Hangover series, who made their directorial debut with the underwhelming flick 21 & Over (2013). Promos for this effort promise the same kind of wild shenanigans for mothers as the filmmakers have depicted for bachelor parties and college students. Admittedly, the concept has potential, and it features a great cast. Alas, this title is far more generic than one might expect — Bad Moms even seems like a misnomer; Bad Husbands and Children is far more apt.

Amy (Mila Kunis) is a harried working mom struggling to juggle a career and family. Unfortunately, her family doesn’t seem...

Big New Releases!

The Boss - The title character in this release is a nasty businesswoman serving time for insider trading. After her release, she goes about trying to repair her image. The executive decides to do so by moving in with her personal assistant and helping out with her daughter’s Girl Scouts. Of course, the lead’s crudeness and aggressive tactics cause further problems. Reviews were poor; despite a couple of...
