Boyhood ***
12 years in the
life of a Texas boy.
An affecting, at times overwhelming experience: A film
about the process of the organic specimen shot over the course of 12 years. For 165 minutes, one is walking on a
tightrope of humanity vs. menace both fictively and aesthetically. Not all of
it works – Linklater’s narrative is so glib and generalized – but it certainly
is a vital document.

Magic in the Moonlight *
A master
magician begins to doubt his chronic skepticism when he meets a medium whom he
believes is the real deal.
Another delightful film by the 78-year-old master done completely
on autopilot, exploring themes he has covered countless times before.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
A group of
mutated warriors face off against an evil kingpin who wants to take over New
York.
Atrocious, loud and brainless reboot of the children’s
franchise with ugly images, incoherent action and poor performances.
