Sicario 2 couldn’t be more timely, even if its extreme surrealism is an only-in-the-movies depiction of what’s happening today on the TexMex border. That unfenced divide, with traffickers running rampant, makes an ideal milieu for a heavily militarized action thriller. And *Sicario: Day of the … |

Uncle Drew has great timing, both when it hit theaters and how it rolls its comedy. It premiered on-time and on-target: three weeks after the NBA playoffs concluded, just as my basketball jones started to kick in. Plus, it’s populated with proven NBA superstars, including Shaquille O’Neal, Amer…

Even the dream team of Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, and Steve Buscemi couldn’t save what should have been a “do it with their eyes closed” comedy. I mean, it should have been impossible to screw up such a formulaic opportunity! They did the Jewish Long-Islanders schtick which was good for some lau… |
