My, what a busy week! A busy two weeks, actually — I was away on fambly bidness last weekend and didn’t update you. I have a whole bunch of new reviews, listed here alphabetically:
— “Ben-Hur” (PG-13) C
— “Florence Foster Jenkins” (PG-13) B+ [Oregon ArtsWatch]
— “Hell or High Water” (R) B+
— “Kubo and the Two Strings” (PG) B
— “Morris from America” (R) B
— “Nine Lives” (PG) C-
— “Our Little Sister” (PG) B
— “Pete’s Dragon” (PG) A-
— “Sausage Party” (R) B
— “War Dogs” (R) C
Over at Mental Floss, I wrote a fun piece about the 1907 version of “Ben-Hur” that changed the movie business forever (really!). I especially enjoy the old-timey court language.
