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...

An old bowling alley on the south side of Santa Fe has undergone an artistic transformation that promises visitors a unique, multisensory art experience like they have never encountered before. As Meow Wolf gains national attention and accolades, current and former Lobos say they are thankful to be a part of this unprecedented arts and entertainment experience.

Running Time: 123 min.

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.
