Dumb fun flexes its muscle in Rampage, a Dwayne Johnson starring vehicle that retreads every other character he’s played—yet it still kind of works.

Wes Anderson’s Isle of Dogs charms with well-thought-out characterization and beautifully rendered stop-motion animation—but its kitschy storyline might be a little too heavy handed on the melodrama.

8.5 out of 12 Tamales

Book to screen done right, The Princess Bride hits bullseye in every category that matters, extraordinary cast, ace script—and a magical love story with heart to spare.

11 out of 12 Tamales

Suffering from an incoherent tone, uneven special effects, and pervasive blandness, A Wrinkle in Time succeeds at one thing, delivering a movie as boring as the book it’s based on.
