MOVIE REVIEWS
Now showing around town… maybe streaming.
Dog Days Not Over
Did you see PAW Patrol: The Movie? The Mighty Movie? Then you’ve seen PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie. Which is fine.
Dinner for One
Food is the love language in Kim Tae-yong’s Number One, a high concept love letter to mom’s cooking.
Not Welcome
Say it with me: The 2016 Moana didn’t need an update in the form of a live action Moana.
More of a Duke
Animated Jesus origin story The King of Kings has a very specific market and not enough creativity to attract anyone else.
Good ‘Bad’ Movie
The Bad Guys 2 goes bad, but in a good way, and not in the way sequels go bad. Good.
‘Animals’ Crackers
Dream Animals is better than any movie based on a cookie has a right to be.
If It Ain’t Broke…
Nothing with G.But is truly bad and the live action How to Train Your Dragon beats Disney at its own game.
Just… Stop
I guess… if it’s really hot out… maybe… you got to Lilo & Stitch? Or if the kids demand it.
Billion Dollar Baby
Well, there’s certainly more movie in Jiaozi’s billion-dollar grossing Ne Zha 2.
Mostly Bearable
Maybe the thin air got to the creatives behind Paddington in Peru and left them a touch lightheaded.
A Case for the UN?
How far will she go? Not sure Moana 2 will hit the cash highs of the first film, but it’s at least fun.
Superior Programming
Fire up Robot Dreams and The Iron Giant with The Wild Robot and have a perfect triple bill.
Disney-fied
Inside Out 2 heads to puberty territory – but really? No horny? Were these people ever 13?
