Throwback Thursday (Movie review): Despite featuring the future “Ghostbusters” team, this overlong comedy is tough to sit through.
Action
‘Stripes’ (1981), like the Army, is not for everyone
‘Godzilla vs. Kong’ a monster-mash blast
Movie review: It can’t be denied that it’s an entertaining spectacle when Godzilla and Kong go mano-a-mano. But other aspects are less impressive.
Snyder’s ‘Justice League’ beefs up Steppenwolf, DCEU
Movie review: The Whedon and Snyder versions are polar opposites. The most notable metric is that the original is 2 hours long and this one is 4 hours.
‘Camp Cretaceous’ Season 2 mixes dino action, mystery
TV review: Season 2 offers lessons for kids about teamwork, trust and using each person’s skills. And the dinosaur action is outstanding.
‘What’s Up, Tiger Lily?’ (1966) presages ‘MST3K’
Woody Wednesday (Movie review): Allen’s first directorial effort is one of his weirdest. He and his pals riff dialog (and a plot) atop a Japanese spy film.
‘Love and Monsters’ keeps apocalypse upbeat
Movie review: Perhaps the cast and crew got the gloom out of their system in previous projects. Here, the apocalypse isn’t so bad.
Saga finale ‘Jason Bourne’ (2016) peers into spy state
‘Bourne’ again (Movie review): The fifth (and last?) film in the franchise digs into Bourne’s background and the metadata-hoarding government.
Jeremy Renner makes star bid in ‘Bourne Legacy’ (2012)
‘Bourne’ again (Movie review): Poor Alex Cross (and actor Jeremy Renner). He’s not even in the title. Nonetheless, this is a smart spinoff.
‘Cobra Kai’ Season 3 balances fan service, sharp writing
TV review: More than any other show that resurrects an old property, “Cobra Kai” knows how to give fans what they want and still make smart TV.
‘Tyrannosaur Canyon’ (2005) a rip-roaring thriller
Preston & Child flashback (Book review): Unlike Crichton, Preston doesn’t resurrect dinosaurs. Yet the spirit of the great lizards permeates this tale.
