MOVIE REVIEWS
Now showing around town… maybe streaming.
No Disguises
Holy crap, is this a good Transformers movie? Yup, Transformers One is a good Transformers movie
Disney-fied
Inside Out 2 heads to puberty territory – but really? No horny? Were these people ever 13?
At Least it’s Fast as Lightning
Po the kung fu fighting giant panda returns for more of the same in Kung Fu Panda 4.
The Long Good-bye
If Hayao Miyazaki is going out after The Boy and the Heron, it’s not quite with a whimper, but it certainly isn’t a bang.
Ode to Odes
Fire up the metronome. The Chinese animated blockbuster Chang An makes poets kick ass.
‘Ninja’ stars
Wait, is this... is this good? Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem reboots the old franchise to ace effect.
Turning Purple
Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken is very, very derivative, but very, very harmless.
Caught in a Web
Bigger, longer and cut to within an inch of its life, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is literally half a movie.
It’s-a-Maybe
Mamma mia! The Super Mario Bros. Movie will make you forget the 1993 film, but not much else.
Hear Hear, Kitty Kitty
Shrek who? Antonio Banderas is back as Puss in Puss in Boots: The Last Wish.
A Whole New World
Strange World is Disney’s most modern, effortlessly inclusive family adventure. See it on a big screen.
Pet Project
DC League of Super-Pets is slightly cyncial but suitably time-wasting. Plus Keanu!
