Kindergarten Cop 2

Director Don Michael Paul Staring Dolph Lundgren, Fiona Vroom, Darla Taylor Rated M Score 1/6 Assigned to recover sensitive stolen data, a gruff FBI agent goes undercover as a kindergarten teacher, but the school’s liberal, politically correct environment is more than he bargained for.

The Nice Guys

Director Shane Black Staring Russell Crowe, Ryan Gosling, Angourie Rice Rated MA Score 4/6 A mismatched pair of private eyes investigate the apparent suicide of a fading porn star in 1970s Los Angeles.

Scouts Guide to the Apocalypse

Director Christopher Landon Staring Tye Sheridan, Logan Miller, Joey Morgan Rated MA Score 2/6 Three scouts, on the eve of their last camp-out, discover the true meaning of friendship when they attempt to save their town from a zombie outbreak.

Hail Caesar!

Director Ethan Coen & Joel Coen Staring Josh Brolin, George Clooney, Alden Ehrenreich Rated PG Score 4.5/6 A Hollywood fixer in the 1950s works to keep the studio’s stars in line. Hail Caesar! Was a good way to relax after a pain in the ass moment involving the wheelchair lift on my car. I know…
