| Charlize Theron stars in Tully |
From our friend, Arch Campbell...
Black Panther - 3½ Stars. Chadwick Boseman breathes life into a new and exciting superhero. As king of a little known African nation, he can bring peace and power to the world; but first, he must settle a family score.
The Death of Stalin - 3½ Stars. Funny but painful history lesson of the dance for power to replace the Soviet dictator, with outstanding performances by Steve Buscemi, Jeffrey Tambor, and Simon Russell Beale.
A Quiet Place - 3½ Stars. Wildly creative horror story. A family must stay quiet, lest they get eaten by blind, sound-sensitive space monsters.
Tully - 3½ Stars. Charlize Theron stars as the stressed-out mother of a newborn, who finds peace with the help of an unusual night nanny. A comedy/mystery/thriller with a delicious twist.

Lean on Pete - 3½ Stars. Wildly creative horror story. A family must stay quiet, lest they get eaten by blind, sound-sensitive space monsters.
Borg vs. McEnroe - 3 Stars. Shia LaBeouf turns in a great performance as tennis brat John McEnroe in the classic 1980 final with Bjorn Borg.
Avengers: Infinity War - 3 Stars. All of the characters in the Marvel Universe fight Thanos, who plans to depopulate the world. A Grand Opera approach to comic books, fans will love.
The Rider - 3 Stars. Quiet contemplation of a young cowboy whose head injury changes his life.
Blockers - 2½ Stars. Parents vow to prevent their daughters from losing their virginity on prom night. Wickedly funny.
Disobedience - 2½ Stars. Rachael Weitz returns to her conservative Orthodox community after the death of her father.
I Feel Pretty - 1 Star. A good idea, poorly executed. Amy Schumer hits her head and suddenly believes she is extraordinarily beautiful.
Super Troopers 2 - 1 Star. Sequel to 18-year-old comedy arrives too late.
You Were Never Really Here - Zero Stars. Almost unwatchable Joaquin Phoenix hitman bloodfest.
