Kung Fu Panda 4; The fight scenes continue to be amazingly fun to watch & the characters will always have appeal to them, but the story itself has played out & sequels at this point seem unnecessary. New additions are fine but don’t quite have the magic of the first three films. Let the panda be; B
Joy Ride; A cast killing it comedically w/a chemistry that’s so hilarious. The four fill typical roles for a buddy road trip kind of comedy but the territory explored is refreshingly fun and at times, surprisingly sweet. It helps that these ladies are equally adept at drama; A-
M3GAN; An A.I. riot of a film that is a hoot from start to finish. Presents ideas that could have gone to different, darker places but chooses to take typical horror route of a monster meeting its maker in a match of wits. Predictable at times but still feels fresh and fun; B+
