The Infiltrator
is the Summer 80's Throwback for the Non-
Ghostbusters
Crowd
Plots about defeating the drug trade used to be a dime a dozen, and The Infiltrator hits all the familiar beats. But strong acting and several well-executed sequences make it an engaging, if uneven, drama with an edge and a satisfying conclusion.

The Secret Life of Pets
is Certainly Worth a Peek
While not particularly original,
The Secret Life of Pets
still manages to win over viewers with its fun characters, simple story, and family-friendly atmosphere.

Captain Fantastic
: Good for Discussion, Bad for Christians
Nope, it's not a superhero story and if you think the "fantastic" in the title means "great," think again. This odd, thought-provoking film is not for the squeamish, but certainly raises discussion on education, consumption and parenting.

Spielberg Delights Us Once Again in
The BFG
Steven Spielberg returns to the director’s chair for his first children’s movie in five years with a surprisingly well-paced and heartfelt adaptation of Roald Dahl's book. The Big Friendly Giant) is sure to charm young and old alike with its winning protagonist, witty script, gorgeous visuals, and - of course - the gentle giant himself.

Legend of Tarzan
Succeeds Where Other Franchise Revivals Fail
Adventurous and ambitious if not altogether as rousing as the best summer blockbusters, The Legend of Tarzan revives a franchise for which no one seemed to be clamoring. But unlike John Carter or The Lone Ranger, this update is more often fun than not.

Independence Day: Resurgence
is Disaster-by-Numbers
Not the most amazing movie of the summer, but fun enough to be a good excuse to sit in an air-conditioned theater for a couple of hours.

Free State of Jones
: Impactful While Imperfect
Based on true events, Free State of Jones is a unique Civil War-era story, showing how both sides of a war can be violent and oppressive. Structurally imperfect and a bit too meandering, the film still runs deep with sorrow, poignancy, important history, and the human spirit.

Finding Dory
is the Summer Adventure You Won't Forget
Finding Dory
has all the laughter and tears we’ve come to expect from a Pixar film, making this sequel one of the best movies you’ll see this summer.

Central Intelligence
Has Hart, but Little Intelligence or Heart
A dumb-downed script that relies way too heavily on the charisma, charm, and comedy chops of Kevin Hart. It plays like a Disney Channel movie but with loads of language, violence, and sexual humor.

Warcraft
Wins Only the Staunchest of Fans
Warcraft is an adventure that’s fun to watch and easy to enjoy. Sadly, unless viewers are experts in the deep mythos of Azeroth, they’re likely to get lost along the journey.

Pay Attention!
Now You See Me 2
Turns the Trick of Sequel Success
A smart, stylish movie that fools the eye even as it delights it. Prepare to watch closely—you’ll still be caught looking, but it’s all part of the fun. Just the thing for a summer night at the movies!

TMNT: Out of the Shadows
is One Headache from Start to Finish
The newest Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is a bloated, obnoxious, mess of a movie, and it knows it. While the film tries to compensate by embracing its flaws with gusto, a few bright spots can’t stop the utter catastrophe which follows on screen. Overall, this sequel was better off in the dark.

Other than CGI, There's Not Much to See
Through the Looking Glass
Much like its Tim Burton-directed predecessor, this sequel is a sweeping CGI romp with tender moments, hijinks, and simplistic messages and morals. Earnest Mia Wasikowska as Alice and Sacha Baron Cohen as the Lord of Time are easy to root for, but the film still breaks no new cinematic ground.

There’s Nothing World-Shaking about
X-Men: Apocalypse
While not exactly a step backward, X-Men: Apocalypse does nothing to broaden the Marvel franchise either. Saddled with a mediocre villain and an out-of-control narrative, the film manages to salvage itself through the strength of its cast, but just barely

Angry Birds
is No Classic, but Good for a Few Laughs and APPlications
For a film born of a smartphone game, The Angry Birds Movie brings some surprisingly pleasant elements to the table. While not the next great leap in animation and not a film adults will want to see without the kids, it’s still got a clever-enough script and plenty of pop culture references to keep viewers engaged and even, at times, pensive.

The Nice Guys
is No Blast from the Past
The buddy cop genre of the '80s and '90s has not worn well. A story about a dead porn star, a missing girl and the "lovable lowlifes" forced to work together to find her makes The Nice Guys one of the more unpleasant viewing experiences of the year.

Last Days in the Desert
More Inspiring Than Infuriating
Doesn't make any pretense of sticking strictly to the synoptic Gospel narratives, but neither is it designed to throw unorthodox beliefs in the faces of its viewers. Rather, it's a gentle family drama centered around a strained father-son dynamic.

Money Monster
Should be One at the Box Office
A fast-paced, entertaining adventure that gets just about everything right. With all due respect to superheroes, Money Monster is my favorite "sit back and enjoy the show" movie this year.

There's a Lesson for Us in
Captain America: Civil War
“I'm going, but I don't want to see 'my friends' fight," said my companion. The battles are epic and the quips keep coming, but this dark story opens a wound in Team Avengers that may never completely heal. By all means see it, but expect to come away a little heart-heavy.

Mother's Day
Regrettably Low on Substance
While certain subplots contain some heart, Mother's Day is largely shallow, low on relatable characters, lacking any kind of fresh and poignant take that might make (yet another) film about moms worth an hour-and-a-half at the movies.
