An animation sequel, a psychological thrill and more! The Film Yap’s Christopher Lloyd runs down the list of what’s playing this weekend and other new releases.
Dark Phoenix — The last(??) X-Men movie is a lean, mean humdinger as Jean Grey acquires fantastic powers that make her a danger to her own kind.
The Secret Life of Pets — It’s more butt-sniffing jokes and cute critters in this CGI animation sequel that’s aimed square at the single-digit-age crowd.
All Is True — Kenneth Branagh directs and stars in this film about William Shakespeare during his last years when he gave up writing and attempted to reconcile with his family.
The Tomorrow Man — Blythe Danner and John Lithgow play two very quirky older people who try to find love despite their vast differences.
