Allied

This film is cinematic proof that you can never successfully fall in love in Casablanca.

Doctor Strange

Like the equally semi-tolerable Batman vs. Superman and Suicide Squad, this is a film whose form transcends substance.

The Accountant

The three minute ending was surprisingly moving, and it helped you to forget the confusing  two hours that preceded it.

Deepwater Horizon

All special effects and little substance.

The Magnificent Seven

Thankfully, Elmer Bernstein’s classical score appears at this film’s conclusion.

Suicide Squad

I took my Saudi foreign exchange student to see this film, and this was his last week in the States.  At least he can remember why we Americans value artistic mendacity.

Jason Bourne

Even though no one can kill Mr. Bourne, Hollywood should kill the franchise.

Star Trek Beyond

There is a brief moment where one of the Enterprise lads unites with his child and gay partner. George Takei should be proud.

Ghostbusters

The only legitimate criticism of starring four women is that the only non-scientist was black.
