Capsule reviews
· “And So It Goes” (romantic comedy, PG-13, 93 minutes, reviewed by Roger Moore, McClatchy-Tribune News Service). Two old pros (Diane Keaton and Michael Douglas) show the kids how chemistry works in Rob Reiner's love-the-last-time-around romp that'll give its target audience the warm fuzzies. They're squabbling neighbors brought together in a crisis. The jokes, sight gags and comic situations never aim higher than “cute,” and often fall short. * *
· “Boyhood” (drama, R, 160 minutes), reviewed by Roeper. Director Richard Linklater filmed the core cast of this family drama over the course of 12 years, and the result is a living time capsule so pitch-perfect, the experience of watching it is almost unsettling. It's an unforgettable, elegant epic that captures the arc of a young life perhaps better than any previous American movie. * * * *
· “The Expendables 3” (action, PG-13, 126 minutes), reviewed by Roeper. Here we have some of the most beloved action stars of the last half-century – from Han Solo to the Terminator to Rambo – and they're mired in a live-action cartoon with witless dialogue, a nothing plot and endless action sequences. “The Expendables 3” is proof a movie can be exceedingly loud and excruciatingly dull. *
· “Guardians of the Galaxy” (sci-fi, PG-13, 121 minutes, reviewed by Moore). Laugh-out-loud funny and production-designed to death, this popcorn picture about a grieving 1970s little boy abducted by aliens for a live-on-the-edge life in space, pops off the screen. There's a willing cast playing stupid-cool characters (led by Chris Pratt) plus video-game friendly action beats and a touch of heart. Everything from the gadgets to the glorious makeup and digitally created characters to a dazzling space pod chase and space battles is just as cool as you'd hope a summer sci-fi action comedy to be. But stupid? Oh, yeah. * * *
· “Get On Up” (musical biography, PG-13, 137 minutes, reviewed by Moore). This is a movie of uncompromising soul, unadulterated funk and unalloyed joy. Dazzling, witty and emotional, this warts-and-all musical biography of James Brown rides on the able shoulders of Chadwick Boseman (Jackie Robinson in “42”). This wonder of the summer. both reverential and self-aware, delivers important American cultural history with heart and humor. * * * ½
· “The Hundred-Foot Journey” (comedy, 122 minutes, PG, reviewed by Moore). The culinary culture-clash comedy dawdles, like a meal that drags on and on because the waiter is too busy texting to bother bringing you the check. Based on the Richard Morais novel, it's a low-flame, bland romance and low-heat feud about a family of Indian restaurateurs who set up their spicy, gaudy, and noisy eatery across the road from a posh, Michelin-endorsed haute cuisine establishment in rural France. * *
· “If I Stay” (drama, PG-13, 107 minutes), reviewed by Roeper. After a car accident, high school senior Mia (Chloe Grace Moretz) lives both in a coma and as a spiritual alter ego looking on. The movie plays like a high school version of “Ghost,” only less involving, less romantic and a little creepier. * ½
· “Into the Storm” (disaster action, PG-13, 89 minutes, reviewed by Roeper). This tornado disaster movie has some pretty nifty effects, but there's about as much character development as you'd find in the first draft of a “Transformers” screenplay. A bunch of one-dimensional characters battle the most powerful storm in the history of, well, history, as if they're in a slightly more sophisticated version of “Sharknado 2.” * *
· “Let's Be Cops” (comedy, R, 104 minutes, reviewed by Moore). The laughs are loud, lewd and low in this spoof of cop “buddy pictures.” Jake Johnson of TV's “New Girl” is paired up with Damon Wayans Jr. in this farce about two Ohio losers losing their way through Los Angeles, a tough place to be a single guy with zero status. Police costumes change that, but the script only has a few laughs. * ½
· “Lucy” (action, R, 89 minutes, reviewed by Moore). In a not-great, but consistent performance, Scarlett Johansson plays a college student who gets her tangled up with a Korean/Taiwanese mob about to unleash an irresistible new drug on Europe. The drug ends up in her body, and Lucy is able to use far more of her brain than normal. This insanely ambitious popcorn popper is so brisk, it'll give you whiplash: French action auteur Luc Besson mounts a dazzling fast-motion car chase through Paris and scintillating slo-mo faceoffs with bad guys. * * ½
· “Magic in the Moonlight” (romantic comedy, PG-13, 98 minutes, reviewed by Roeper). The Woody Allen doppelganger in his latest romantic comedy is a thoroughly unlikable stiff who actually manages to become more insufferable with each passing scene. Played by Colin Firth, he's an illusionist who succumbs to the charms of a prognosticator (Emma Stone) and progresses from “jerk” to “insanely irritating jerk.” * *
· “A Most Wanted Man” (spy thriller, R, 121 minutes, reviewed by Roeper). In his last starring role, Philip Seymour Hoffman is nothing short of brilliant as a world-weary German intelligence operator on the trail of a man who escaped from a Russian prison. Based on a John le Carre novel, this is one of the best spy thrillers in recent years. * * * *
· “Planes: Fire & Rescue” (animated, PG, 84 minutes, reviewed by Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle). This occasionally rousing but mostly just adequate sequel has a kid-first vibe in its story of spunky hero Dusty Crophopper moving from racing plane to aerial firefighting. A fitting tribute to real-life forest service workers, the film is at its best in the visually pleasing firefighting scenes, which have a storybook feel, while maintaining a disaster movie-style momentum. The dialogue is hit or miss, with too much sincerity and little attempt at nuance. * *
· “Step Up All In” (musical, PG-13, 111 minutes, reviewed by Moore). Five films and eight years into the unlikeliest of film franchises, a series that has changed characters, changed locations and changed studios, with none of the movies anywhere near being a blockbuster, you really do wonder why every so often, “Step Up” returns. This one takes us back to Los Angeles, with little story, poor writing and uneven acting, but some sparkling moments of choreography, clever gimmicks as themes for the dance-offs and lovely costumes. * ½
· “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” (action comedy, PG-13, 100 minutes, reviewed by Moore). The digitally animated super-sized turtles earn a Michael Bay-produced 3-D reboot that spares no expense in special effects, spares no decibel in the soundtrack volume to all their new mayhem and has Megan Fox as their human friend. The turtles' wisecracks are up to date, their love of pizza unabated, their brawls with trigger-happy foes from the Foot Clan a blur of body blows and bullets. The film is entirely too violent, but teenaged turtles armed with ninja swords, knives and nunchucks have been violent since their origins in 1980s comic books. * *
