Elitist Hermione follows her hobbit father into a slightly
less animated re-imagined adventure. Book-smarts bring beastiality to beauty’s
brain, playing perfectly into Princely prick’s quest to pursue a tail as young
as possible. Meanwhile no one sings like Gaston, though Gad spells disastter in
Evans’ efforts to ring a Belle.

Wonder Woman
Wonder Gal’s nuanced naivety sustains an overlong story despite
periodic poor pacing. Excellently executed film uses physical action as proxy
for ideals resulting in an epic battle boasting comedy, moral weight, and a
sprinkling of Snyder speed-ramps. DC deserves a Pat on the back for finally
birthing a good film.
Actors & Director:
Chris Pine,
Connie Nielsen,
Danny Huston,
David Thewlis,
Ewen Bremner,
Gal Gadot,
Robin Wright Penn,

It Comes at Night
It comes as no surprise that It Follows’ follow up is brooding,
dark and beautifully shot. It solves predecessor’s third-act plot crisis by
existing in a world where plot (and civilization) has mysteriously disappeared.
Once the endless foreboding fades, film seems to last all day and never quite reach
night.
