The Lost City of Z
How could any film about the exploration of the Amazon before 1925 possibly bore anyone? The answer may be found in why this film is dying at the box office.
The Circle
You would think it would be impossible for Tom Hanks and Emma Watson to appear in a below average film. But as the old saying goes, “Not anymore.”
The Dinner
The only way to see this movie is after you are drugged at a dentist’s office and waiting for a root canal.
