★★★★★ Inferno
So convoluted it makes the 'Now You See Me' series look like 'Murder, She Wrote.'

★★½★★ Jack Reacher: Never Go Back
Middling and boring with absolutely zero of the first film's style, energy, or snark.

Never as good as it could have been, but a pleasant enough diversion.

Old school and unnerving.

A razor smart black comedy with spectacular bursts of action.

★★½★★ The Girl on the Train
Never as relentless as it should be, leaving all thrills behind at the station.

★★★★★ Deepwater Horizon
Slightly saddled with a few questionable effects, the human drama overpowers the boring setup.

PG-13
★★★★★ The Magnificent Seven
Never manages to live up to its title or claim it's own place in the glut of remakes and reboots.

★★★★★ Bridget Jones’s Baby
Way better than 'The Edge of Reason' but still lacks the charm of the original.

★★★★½ Blair Witch
What's scarier than a trip back into these woods? Pretty much nothing.

One of the year's best, Hanks is phenomenal as always.

★★★★★ Morgan
Nowhere near as intense as 'Don't Breathe,' but still delivers some wham bam action beats.

Never proves its own existence, making the chariot race a chore to get to.

★★★½★ Pete’s Dragon
Armed with brazzle dazzle effects, it's too bad it seems to be missing six years worth of fun. At least the kids will love it.

★★★★★ Florence Foster Jenkins
Great performances are hindered by lackluster pacing. However, Streep fans will eat it up.

★★★★½ Sausage Party
Disgusting, repellent, and offensive in all the best ways!

★★★★★ Lights Out
Another horrible example of a good idea gone awry. Stick to the original short.

PG-13
★★★★★ Ghostbusters
Internet be damned, Paul Feig and his amazing cast breathe new life into the gone-too-long franchise. Haters can suck it.

★★★½★ The Infiltrator
Tense but too long. In need of more editing which is surprising considering there are three credited.

★★★★★ Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates
Full of huge laughs and a game cast, this is one of the best comedies of the summer.
