"American Made" is breezy and fun and makes its points without subjecting the viewer to a browbeating.

Brash, energetic, and exhilarating, any points it loses because of a lack of originality are gained back as a result of Theron’s dedication.

"Alien: Covenant" has enough of what made Alien great to deliver two hours of big-budget sci-fi/horror entertainment.

Run Time: 1:45

MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Profanity, Sexual Content, Nudity)
Genre: Drama
Director: Carlos Sanchez, Jason Sanchez
Cast: Evan Rachel Wood, Julia Sarah Stone, Denis O’Hare

The screenplay doesn’t rise to the level of the behind-the-camera craftmanship or the acting.

It’s a serviceable thriller at best although Christopher Plummer’s late-to-the-party performance is worthy of praise.

A plot-by-numbers sit-com movie that tries hard (perhaps too hard) to reproduce the elements that made its predecessor successful.

Run Time: 1:30
U.S. Release Date: 2018-07-10
MPAA Rating: "NR" (Profanity, Sexual Content)
Genre: Comedy/Drama
Director: Jon E. Cohen
Cast: Rancel Edwards, Erin Karpluk, Michael Xavier, Erin Agostino, Jonas Chernick, Mia Kirshner

This superficial and lightweight approach might make for adequate TV viewing but it functions more as a clumsy tease than a satisfying motion picture.

Run Time: 1:29
U.S. Release Date: 2018-04-13
MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (Profanity, Sexual Situations, Violence)
Genre: Drama
Director: Brian Shoaf
Cast: Zachary Quinto, Jenny Slate, Jon Hamm, Sheila Vand

A hard-to-swallow drama about sibling rivalry, mental illness, and bad therapy, it's cobbled together using clichés and contrivances.

"American Assassin" is as generic an espionage thriller as you’re likely to find.

Run Time: 1:29
U.S. Release Date: 2017-08-04
MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Profanity)
Genre: Thriller
Director: John Stockwell
Cast: Wesley Snipes, Anne Heche, Dave Annable

The lack of a clear direction and vision leads to something haphazard, sloppy, and not remotely viscerally compelling.
