Keanu Reeves sticks out like a sore thumb in this Asian world of mythical beasts and samurai warriors. A little overly dramatic and actually could have used more monsters, but more-than-decent sword action and a satisfying reverence to a samurai tradition makes for a decent stream or in-flight m… |

Tony Stark has been the verbal superpower behind the Avengers, till now. Yet the motormouth of Robert Downey Jr. is MIA in Captain America: Civil War and the movie doesn’t suffer. His novel reticence in Civil War is in service to a well executed Civil War story, but it’s a risk nonetheless. F…
