Movie & Television Reviews

With age comes wisdom, so we’re told. But apparently that doesn’t apply to the quartet of AARP-eligible friends at the core of the romantic comedy sequel “Book Club: The Next Chapter” (Focus).

As its title indicates, “Fast X” (Universal) is the 10th direct installment of the “Fast & Furious” car-racing franchise that first put the pedal to the metal back in 2001.

There’s a somber tone to long patches of this wrap-up of James Gunn’s trilogy, which also lacks the verve that characterized its predecessors.

Fans of the popular post-apocalyptic “Horizon” franchise can unlock some enticing downloadable content with “Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores” (Sony Interactive Entertainment).

Although the film “Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret” is a generally upbeat affair, such caution is not entirely unwarranted.

Billed as a dark comedy, writer-director Ari Aster’s deep dive into paranoia is instead a nightmarish, three-hour-long odyssey through a landscape of mental misery.

The Grim Reaper gets his house in order in the visually charming quest-themed game “Have a Nice Death” (Gearbox).
