Solo: A Star
Wars Story
Through
a series of daring escapades deep within a dark and dangerous criminal
underworld, Han Solo meets his mighty future co-pilot Chewbacca and encounters
the notorious gambler Lando Calrissian.
Woeful from
beginning to end, offering nothing new in regards to either aesthetic or
subtext. Like the previous prequel in the franchise, this was designed merely
to regurgitate scantly explored ideas in an exercise of referential
ascertainment that for some reason people find gratifying. Like a well of water
that will never run out. In the past, I have spent a great deal of ink on here
explaining why this saddens me. By all means, enjoy your garbage.

Deadpool 2
Wisecracking
mercenary Deadpool battles the evil and powerful Cable and other bad guys to
save a boy’s life.
More of the
same: Far too long and relying heavily on self-referential humour. It becomes
tired instantly.

Life of the
Party
After
her husband abruptly asks for a divorce, a middle-aged mother returns to
college in order to complete her degree.
The third film
now by its married creators who have yet to understand what aspects of its
star’s persona are appealing. Much of the humour is infrequent and annoyingly
unscripted.

A
mother of three hires a night nanny to help with her newborn.
Cody’s script
relies so heavily on a third-act plot twist (one that is both inane and
incredibly obvious the second the title character is introduced on screen) that
any attempt at maternal examination liquefies into nothing. Reitman’s typically
clumsy direction doesn't help. It’s Theron who carries it.
