Even action sequences that are ostensibly fresh in #HitmansBodyguard feel tedious and familiar. ow.ly/Cnp630ev1BJ (cinemas US/Can/UK)

Steve Carell. #femalegazing

What passes for wit in #HitmansBodyguard feels like cheats and excuses for lazy storytelling. ow.ly/Cnp630ev1BJ (cinemas US/Can/UK)

#6Days (new limited release US) is pretty darn good procedural about dealing w/ terrorism. Based on real events in London 1980. Review asap.

*Morning Glory,* for which Katharine Hepburn would win the first of her four Oscars, opening in the US OTD 1933. amzn.to/2vAjvVs

Taika Waititi. #femalegazing

#LaSoledad -- now playing at @ICALondon, Q&A w/director tonight -- is a secret treasure of cinema. Seek it out. ow.ly/NXUS30evBS6

Does Adrializ -- with her dad, José -- see into the other world that sits alongside their house? #LaSoledad ow.ly/NXUS30evBS6

#HitmansBodyguard is destined to become a cinematic punchline. And not in a good way. ow.ly/Cnp630ev1BJ (cinemas US/Can/UK)

OTD 2006, instantly cult classic/cinematic punchline *Snakes on a Plane* opened in both the US and the UK. amzn.to/2fEi1Ft

Ben Affleck. #femalegazing

Reluctant-buddy action comedy #HitmansBodyguard feels like unfunny warmed-over 90s leftovers. ow.ly/Cnp630ev1BJ (cinemas US/Can/UK)
