What to Watch in the Theater:
Rock Dog (PG) is now in theaters. Fun animated film with some story resemblance to Kung Fu Panda 3. Good music and message, solid family entertainment value.
Our rating: 4 out of 5
Logan (R) opens today. Over the top on the R-rated violence, so be prepared for lots of blood and decapitation. Interesting plot that opens up a new story line for the X-Men franchise. Saddest film in the franchise – it was more emotional than expected.
Our rating: 4.5 out of 5
What to Watch at Home (Or Not):
The Magnificent Seven (PG13) Great cast, good story. It may not save the entire Western genre, but it does provide good entertainment. As expected, the body count is high, with lots of gun and knife fights, but little gore. Solid performances all around.
Our rating: 4 out of 5
Don’t Think Twice (R) Drama about a comedy improv group, and how their lives change when one of their own moves on. Interesting look behind the scenes at what it takes to create comedy, group dynamics and personality differences. A little slow, but if you’re a fan of improv, you’ll get something out of it.
Our rating: 3.67 out of 5
