Parents will get more pleasure out of their children's reactions than from the film itself.

"Self/less" is too badly made to entertain audiences in search of escapist entertainment and too insulting for viewers hoping for more.

"Terminator Genisys" feels like the film James Cameron might have made if he continued the franchise.

Too many elements that made the first film an enjoyable experience are missing.

Run Time: 1:55
U.S. Release Date: 2015-06-26
MPAA Rating: "R" (Profanity, Sexual Content, Drugs)
Genre: Comedy
Director: Seth MacFarlane
Cast: Mark Wahlberg, Seth MacFarlane, Amanda Seyfried, Jessica Barth, Giovanni Ribisi

The film fumbles its lame narrative and, although some of MacFarlane's jokes are hilarious, they're just blips on the radar.

Run Time: 1:51
U.S. Release Date: 2015-06-26
MPAA Rating: "PG"
Genre: Family Adventure
Director: Boaz Yakin
Cast: Josh Wiggins, Thomas Haden Church, Lauren Graham, Luke Kleintank, Robbie Amell, Mia Xitlali, Dejon LaQuake, Jay Hernandez

A reminder that an "old fashioned" movie can be affecting and effective when the filmmaker understands the value of understatement.

MPAA Rating: "R" (Sexual Content, Nudity, Profanity, Drugs)
Genre: Comedy
Director: Patrick Brice
Cast: Adam Scott, Taylor Schilling, Jason Schwartzman, Judith Godreche

"The Overnight" is short enough not to overstay its welcome but too short to effectively develop the characters and their situations.

A well-acted, absorbing story that ranks high both in terms of unpredictability and all-around appeal.

"Inside Out" is the best American-produced animated film we have seen in many summers.

MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (Profanity, Drugs)

Affecting without being overly sentimental, humorous without being inappropriately comedic, and quirky without being self-indulgent.
