Sicario: Day of the Soldado
/
The original “Sicario” released in 2015 was an amazing well-crafted tale made my Top 10 list that year. “Sicario: Day of the Soldado,” a follow-up in the “Sicario” saga, finds our anti-heroes played by Oscar-nominated Josh Brolin and Oscar-winner Benicio Del Toro, who reprise their roles from the original flick.
Read More“The First Purge”
/
There is a select segment of society that relishes violence and death on the big screen. I, however, am not one of those individuals. I saw the other “Purge” movies, so spending my time with this one is part of my duty as an at-large film critic.
Read More‘Ant-Man and the Wasp:’ a comic stinger for summer
/
As far as Marvel films go, “Ant-Man and the Wasp” may surpass positive reviews by critics and audiences alike. This film marks the return of Paul Rudd as Ant-Man and Evangeline Lilly as the Wasp. Michael Douglas and Michael Peña return as their supportive helpers.

Once again, dinosaurs roam the Earth. It’s been three years since “Jurassic World” was released and now comes the sequel: “Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.”
Read More"Ocean's 8" review
/
This one is all about the girls. Whereas the 2001 ‘Oceans’ update, led by George Clooney and directed by Stephen Soderbergh, was one of the biggest blockbusters of the past decade, “Ocean’s 8” finds Gary Ross directing an all-female crew led by Sandra Bullock as Clooney’s screen sister, Debbie Ocean.

Read MoreGoodbye Toys “Я” Us (1948-2018)!
/
I guess it’s time for the kids to grow up. But, even though Toys “Я” Us is closing its doors, the people who grew up with the famous toy store will always be Toys “Я” Us kids. The toy company announced the closure of 180 brick-and-mortar stores across America on May 15. It will be history by the end of the month.
Read More"Adrift" review
/
Just because a film is “based on a true story” doesn’t guarantee a favorable review. I say this because the filmmakers behind “Adrift” seemed to think they hit an automatic gold mine with this true-life tale about one woman’s ordeal with the ocean.
Read MoreRound Two for Pixar’s ‘The Incredibles!’
/
I’m a sucker for one big thing: Disney animated films. After 14 years of waiting, the family of supers comes to life onscreen again in “Incredibles 2.” Brad Bird previously directed “The Incredibles” and the critically acclaimed “The Iron Giant” and “Ratatouille.” His most recent film, “Tomorrowland,” returned him to his post at Pixar Animation Studios to helm this much-anticipated animated feature.
Read More'Hotel Artemis' review
/
“Hotel Artemis” was just plain awesome. It’s set in 2028 Los Angeles where nothing but malevolent riots and touches of anarchy take place in the midst of Middle America. The hotel is essentially a place criminals go when other plans go south. It’s a place where only paying members are allowed.
'The Kissing Booth' review
/
I have seen lots of comments on the internet lately about the new Netflix production “The Kissing Booth,” so I decided to find out what the buzz was all about. From the short scenes I watched online, the film seems to be geared toward teenagers. I was curious as to why so many people were talking about it, so I decided to check it out.
Read More“Solo: A Star Wars Story”
/
I think fan boys and novices alike will enjoy a complete background of everyone’s favorite pirate and smuggler, including anti-hero Alden Ehrenreich as Han Solo in the Ron Howard-directed “Solo: A Star Wars Story.”
Read MoreDeadpool 2 review
/
As far as sequels go, “Deadpool 2” delivers the goods. I cannot give any spoilers away, so I have to find the right words to use and not give away any key plot points or, God forbid, spoilers of any kind.

The Drama department will be busy this summer, if all goes as planned. Andy Long, drama director, has scheduled refresher classes in June and July for middle and high school drama teachers.
