Captain America: Civil War begins with an incident involving the Avengers. It results in collateral damage — and civilian injuries. Then, political pressure mounts to hold the team accountable — which means under government control. The resulting battle drives a wedge between Captain America and Iron Man, and pits the Avengers against each other.

The Founder is a story about turning McDonald’s into a national, and international, restaurant chain. It’s a story that is very unflattering to Ray Kroc.

In short, the movie Suicide Squad isn’t completely terrible. That doesn’t make it a good movie by any stretch. The basic plot isn’t bad: The United States federal government feels the need for a group of super-powered soldiers. Think The Dirty Dozen with super powers. As I say, the basic idea’s fine. In fact, DC Comics has done multiple versions of Suicide Squad over the years. But the movie falls short for a multitude of reasons.

The good news is, Ghostbusters 2016 begins with a very strong opening scene. The bad news is it quickly goes downhill. The biggest problem with it is: as a comedy, it’s simply not funny. Why is that?

Terrordactyl

Terrordactyl (2016) starring Christopher John Jennings, Jason Tobias, Candice Nunes,  Jack E. Curenton

Terrordactyl is a modern creature feature, in the style of the cheesy monster movies that we grew up with. Except for a few minor language issues, I recommend it wholeheartedly. It’s fun, fast-paced, with good acting.  It has a nice mix of humor and horror, and the special effects are fine.
