MOVIE REVIEWS
Now showing around town… maybe streaming.
Turning Purple
Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken is very, very derivative, but very, very harmless.
Museum Piece

Chow Yun-fat stops gambling his life away in Anthony Pun’s paean to kindness, One More Chance.
No Hard Anything
If raunchy is what you’re looking for, No Hard Feelings isn’t even close to dirty.
Cheesy ‘Rider’
Shin Kamen Rider, Shin Masked Rider, whatever the title, it’s the least of Hideaki Anno’s Shin Trilogy.
Maximum French

Oh, ‘Father’
Robert De Niro must have enjoyed that de-aging because he’s dumped grandpas for About My Father.

Another ‘Round’
Tape up your ribcage. Ma Dong-seok punches his way through the latest in the burgeoning franchise in The Roundup: No Way Out.
