| Jessica Chastain & Chris Hemsworth (r) star in The Huntsman: Winter's Tale |
From our friend, Arch Campbell...
Hail, Caesar! - 4 Stars. The Coen brothers lampoon the golden age of movies.
Midnight Special - 3 Stars. Michael Shannon as father of an unusual child in a great science fiction chase mystery with a better than usual payoff.

| Arch with Will Ferrell & Zach Galifianakis (r) |
Eye in the Sky - 3 Stars. Helen Mirren as British officer with opportunity to target (i.e. kill) several terrorists with a drone, but what about collateral damage? Gripping.
Race - 3 Stars. Respectful biography of four-time Olympic gold winner Jesse Owens.
Deadpool - 2½ Stars. Foul mouth, wise-cracking superhero curses his way into our hearts for a guilty pleasure.
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot - 2½ Stars. Tina Fey as war correspondent.
The Boss - 2 Stars. Melissa McCarthy creates an outrageous Donald Trump-like business woman, who lands in jail for insider trading. The first half is a guilty pleasure, but the ending runs out of gas.
Everybody Wants Some!! - 2 Stars. Tiresome college coming-of-age comedy.
New Opening > The Huntsman: Winter's War - 2 Stars. Prequel to "Snow White" can't quite decide if it's action, comedy or spooky fairy tale.
Criminal - 1 Star. Derivative sci-fi crime thriller with Kevin Costner as a maniac who gets a brain transplant from the CIA and Tommy Lee Jones.
