A Quiet Place is a scary movie, but scary along the lines of a Steven Spielberg thriller like Jaws or Jurassic Park. It’s directed by and stars John Krasinski, whose wife, Emily Blunt, steals the show in her lead role. Many movies have great first acts, and then stumble in the second and third acts. A Quiet Place gets better with each act.

Based on a true story, The Miracle Season adds a worthy title to the catalog of sports films, inspirational or otherwise. It’s refreshing for its novel subject—a girls’ sports team.

The film opens in the fall of 2011 as the defending Iowa girls’ state volleyball champions from Iowa City West High School start their season. Caroline “Line” Found (Danika Yarosh) captains the Lady Trojans and plays setter, a volleyball team’s most important position. Line, an exuberant spirit, also captures the heart of every person she meets—students, teachers, and townsfolk.

It’s almost impossible to imagine Chappaquiddick could have been released during Ted Kennedy’s lifetime without deafening outcry from certain segments of Washington and the media. And it’s still fairly staggering it’s being released now when so many of the senator’s close colleagues still walk the halls of Congress. I can only surmise that the #MeToo movement has shut the mouths of those who would otherwise rail theatrically against turning over this particular rock.

To some people, the God’s Not Dead films function as unwelcome Christian Lives Matter protests. The franchise’s first film took on religious discrimination that many Christian students face on university campuses, and the second the pressure that some Christian teachers experience to deny their faith in high school classrooms.

It’s hard to imagine a movie where the plot hinges on 1980s nostalgia being directed by anyone other than the man responsible for creating plenty of that nostalgia, Steven Spielberg. From the thrilling action sequences in Ready Player One to the perfectly executed flirtatious quips, we feel we’re watching a great musician play his greatest hits. And everybody else’s.

Pacific Rim: Uprising is to sci-fi flicks what a bodybuilding competition is to sports—a beefy display with little drama. The formulaic film’s impressive visual effects likely won’t win over viewers hoping for a good story.

Two decades ago, Kevin Sorbo was busy slaying dragons. As the star of Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, Sorbo pranced around in 12-pound, glute-hugging leather pants and a chamois shirt that revealed sculpted pectorals. The popular Greek mythology TV series ran for six seasons from 1995 to 1999 and gained a cult following around the world.
