Dean
Dean is as quirky and meandering as its titular character’s offbeat drawings are, stumbling through its tragicomic (and occasionally profane and suggestive) narrative.
Wonder Woman
In an entertainment landscape obsessed with flawed heroes, unlikeable heroes and antiheroes, Diana is—unapologetically—a real hero.
Baywatch
Even Dwayne Johnson’s formidable biceps and sense of humor can’t save this raunched-up remake from drowning.
Alien: Covenant
It’s probably too much to ask of this franchise to rein in its bloody ways.
Everything, Everything
Everything, Everything invites us to root for and to romanticize a teen’s decision to potentially risk her life for a taste of freedom.
The Wall
By the time The Wall crawls to its grim conclusion, it has mightily sought to subvert the American hero war paradigm.
King Arthur: Legend of the Sword
King Arthur: Legend of the Sword is a passable, if still problematic, diversion. But it’s not Camelot. Not even close.
Snatched
Snatched excels at gross-out humor, anatomical vulgarity and lethal hijinks. Between those gags is a story about a mother and daughter trying to reconnect.
The Lovers
No matter what potentially positive marriage messages you mine from this well-acted, R-rated dramedy, other significant issues remain.
Chuck
While Chuck’s unlikely moral victory against the great Mohammad Ali might’ve inspired the movie Rocky, this flick is really about how Rocky changed Chuck—and not for the better.
