5 Star Movies

5 Star Movies: The Hitman’s Bodyguard, Columbus, An Inconvenient Sequel, Lady Bird, American Made

The Hitman’s Bodyguard: Ryan Reynolds and Sam Jackson are movie stars and they’re bantering. It hits the notes it needs to but is just such a … movie. *3/4

Columbus: Such a comforting little indy movie… gorgeous shots of INDIANA architecture along with the two leads just having some conversation. It is all so sweet and beautiful and hopeful. ****

An Inconvenient Sequel: I wish Al Gore hasn’t achieved some kind of weird parody status in American culture, as this is crazy. Everybody should be screaming about it and we’re just joking about it! ***1/2

Lady Bird: A joy to watch… funny, touching, authentic. My wife 30 minutes in just blurted out, “I love this movie.” *****

American Made: Tom Cruise is still pretty good and brings a ton of energy to a fascinating CIA/drug cartel story. ***3/4
