Apollo 11 (2019)::rating::4
O n a sweltering day in September 1962, President John F. Kennedy outlined an audacious plan:  Before the decade was over, the United States would put a man on the moon and safely splash him down on Earth.  It'd been less than sixty years since the Wright Brothers sent their wobbly flyer for a glorified…

The Kid (2019)::rating::3
"W hen legend becomes fact, print the legend."  These words close the classic Western, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, and they a make fitting valediction for frontier mythology.  Men like the Earps, the James Gang, and Billy the Kid have received so much posthumous embellishment that it's almost impossible to distinguish fact from fiction.  Where dime…

Captain Marvel (2019)::rating::3.5
D espite its sweeping sociocultural ambition, Captain Marvel largely succeeds as robust, straightforward entertainment.  A decent origin story, it benefits enormously from a skilled cast of well-placed actors and the reliable hum of the Marvel machine.  While the female-driven production machetes a new trail through what had once been a male-dominated wilderness, the movie itself truly hits…

Captain Marvel (2019)::rating::3.5
Captain Marvel takes us all the way back to the glorious 90s, when the internet came screaming through rickety modems and Pepsi was available as a clear liquid. Carol Danvers (Brie Larson) has been living with and fighting for the Kree, an advanced alien race. When she crashes on Earth during the time of Alanis…
