Out in Theaters: ‘THE BOOK OF HENRY’
Colin Trevorrow’s The Book of Henry is a tricksy page-turner, one that clubs you upside the head with eye-popping twists and heartrending turns at the expense of emotional earnestness. Fastidious…

Out in Theaters: ‘BAYWATCH’
This modern day Baywatch redux fails to make any real splash but does offer a smorgasbord of hot beach bods dashing in slow-motion atop the sandy shoals. There’s a few…

Out in Theaters: ‘PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES’
Shiver your timbers because ‘Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales’ is a lifeless CGI shipwreck. A wholly soulless swashbuckler, this soap opera on the high-seas is so…

Out in Theaters: ‘GHOST IN THE SHELL’
‘Ghost in the Shell’ is all shell, no soul. This vapid, mopey, effects-driven, entirely predictable action-thriller haunts audiences with dazzling special effects, hoping to cover up a substance-bereft narrative that leaves…
