MOVIE REVIEWS
Now showing around town… maybe streaming.
‘Island’ Time
Forgotten Island is in the running to win the crown for this year’s most unexpected delight.
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?
