The neo-Western?Hell or High Water?is one of the funniest, saddest, most exciting, thought-provoking films I’ve seen this year. Wrapped around the story of two brothers’ attempts to rob banks, this wildly different film shares their relationship, the saga of the nearly-retired Texas Ranger?on their heels, and the way that the U.S. economy plays a part…
Yesterday I had a really interesting sandwich: a dark brooding film from one of my favorite Romanian directors placed between two animated films.
Finding Dory served up a sequel/spinoff of the world that Nemo inhabited, with Ellen DeGeneres’ squeaky regal blue tang heading off in search of the family she had long forgotten about. With the help of Nemo and his dad Marlin, as well as a new cast of characters including the near-sighted whale Destiny, the echo-location-free…

Adam West was the first ‘famous’ person I ever interacted with, as a twelve-year-old stammering my way up for an autograph. He signed my 1980s era edition of a Batman comic and we watched the feature-length film that he and Burt Ward filmed, 1966’s Batman: the Movie. It was glorious, but the world has moved…
The third installment in the J.J. Abrams-rebooted?Star Trek?series,?Beyond?takes us farther than the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise believes it has gone before. The film has remarkable panache – thanks to a top flight class – and a storyline about authority, power, calling, and friendship that wraps itself around a galactic struggle. While considering a promotion/retirement…
