Book Club: The Next Chapter
While the sequel isn't as good as the first film, it still has some funny moments and some sweet, sentimental scenes that will bring a smile to almost anyone's face.
Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning
Almost three hours fly by in what seems like 90-100 minutes and as the credits roll, the audience leaves the theater wanting more (luckily, part two will be released next summer).
Joy Ride
The script is smart even as it resorts to toilet humor and Lim does a great job setting the scenes.
The Truman Show
There is a reason The Truman Show was nominated for multiple awards including three Oscars.
Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken
Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken has a few things going for it. First, the vocal talent of the cast, especially the females, is great.
Indiana Jones and The Dial of Destiny
Indiana Jones and The Dial of Destiny is a solid send-off for Indiana Jones and Harrison Ford, but while older audiences will probably enjoy the film, it may not resonate with younger viewers.
National Lampoon's Vacation
The Griswold family is a national treasure, and their adventures are well worth the cost of a special edition 4K combo pack.
Asteroid City
Anderson infuses his stories with numerous details that intersect somehow, even when you aren't exactly sure how.
