MOVIE REVIEWS
Now showing around town… maybe streaming.
Billion Dollar Baby
Well, there’s certainly more movie in Jiaozi’s billion-dollar grossing Ne Zha 2.
Rough Ride
Well, at least The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim is just one film.
A Case for the UN?
How far will she go? Not sure Moana 2 will hit the cash highs of the first film, but it’s at least fun.
Superior Programming
Fire up Robot Dreams and The Iron Giant with The Wild Robot and have a perfect triple bill.
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.
