Jennifer Garner ably leads an action movie, convincingly playing an avenging mother who takes down an LA-based drug cartel and the corrupt law enforcement officers on their payroll. Will this be enough for the studio to order a sequel? Probably not, but it’s enough to be entertained by Peppermint.

Ant-Man and the Wasp is the first superhero movie to equally feature men and women, with the Wasp being Marvel’s first featured female superhero. As pop culture iconification goes, that’s pretty marvelous. Equality’s great and all, but fortunately it’s not the only reason to recommend *Ant-M…

Clint Eastwood’s terrorist-on-a-train film unspools like a cinéma vérité home movie. Three yokels from Sacramento – California’s middle-American capital city – get the chance to be heroes and don’t blow it. Spencer Stone, Alek Skarlatos & Anthony Sadler famously play themselves as the three du…

Oaktown gets its closeup in Oakland-native Daveed Diggs’s Blindspotting. Diggs cowrote the movie with costar Rafael Casal, a Berkeley native. So they know the Town, including its many contradictions. Unfortunately, their film stumbles often, coming across as a clumsy imitation of Atlanta, Don… |

Sam Elliott deserves a Western-icon lifetime achievement award. Hey, that’d make a great little movie, if it included the behind-the-scenes angst of an elderly man facing his mortality, even as he’s feted by fans and groupies alike. The Hero is all that, albeit Elliott plays a less successful d…

Molly’s Game contains large doses of glamorous sin, sans sex, even though the women are all super sexy. The lack of sex, consensual or #MeToo, makes this R-rated flick rather tame as sexy movies go. That said, Jessica Chastain surely got good money to gamely play the sexy and intrepid Molly Blo…

Saoirse Ronan and Laurie Metcalf are excellent in this heart-touching coming of age story. Saoirse is the self-named ‘Lady Bird’ – put in to Catholic school by her over bearing mom to save her from the streets of Sacramento. The story runs the usual gamut of parental relations, love, clique-y h… |
