Psycho trapped in more ways than one in Shyamalan thriller–Play It Again, Tim - Cape Cod Wave

It seems like the perfect father-and-daughter date. Cooper Adams and his adolescent daughter, Riley, have floor seats for a sold-out arena concert featuring pop princess Lady Raven. Riley is in...

So-so monkey movie; latest from Loach and Hamaguchi — Play It Again, Tim - Cape Cod Wave

I don’t have anything against chimps. In fact, I like ’em. But I found it hard to care what happened to any of the chimps, other simian critters, or humans in “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes”...

Despite star power, ‘Fall Guy,’ ‘Idea of You’ stumble – Play It Again, Tim - Cape Cod Wave

“The Fall Guy” (PG-13, 126 minutes, in theaters) wore me out. It starts out great, thanks to its charming stars – Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt – and lots of funny bits. But, this is about a stuntman,...

‘The Beast’: sublime sci-fi — Play It Again, Tim - Cape Cod Wave

I mean, really, why don’t people just have A.I. go out and eat pizza for them? That’s what I ask my students when the topic of artificial intelligence comes up. If we’re going to let A.I. write for...

Civil War’ likely to leave audience divided – Play It Again, Tim - Cape Cod Wave

For those paying attention, the current political climate of the United States is, um, troubling. I know: Thank you, Captain Obvious. But that’s why “Civil War” (R, 109 minutes, in theaters) hits...

‘Dune’ time: Enough with the visions — Play It Again, Tim - Cape Cod Wave

I drank a Red Bull before seeing “Dune: Part 2” (PG-13, 166 minutes, in theaters). I should have had two. Maybe then it would have been easier to get through this at times ponderous and repetitive...

Best movies of 2023 shine a light – Play It Again, Tim - Cape Cod Wave

They might be mean, but they’re a lot of fun – Play It Again, Tim - Cape Cod Wave

A movie based on a stage musical based on a movie based on a book? Might be a bit stale. But that’s not the case with the new “Mean Girls” movie musical (PG-13, 112 minutes, in theaters). It bursts...

Branagh detects; Binoche deceives – Play It Again, Tim - Cape Cod Wave

“A Haunting in Venice” (PG-13, 103 minutes, in theaters) won’t leave you quivering in your shoes. And that’s a shame. Even though the film based on a mystery novel by Agatha Christie – whose detect...

It’s easy to feel overwhelmed and frustrated in a world where corruption and evil run rampant. What can one person do? That’s why movies like “The Equalizer 3” (R, 109 minutes, in theaters) can be so...

‘Blue Beetle’ a breakthrough; ‘Strays’ scatological - Cape Cod Wave

Go figure: a superhero movie that would be a lot better if it weren’t a superhero movie. That’s the case with “Blue Beetle” (PG-13, 127 minutes, in theaters). In it, Jaime Reyes (Xolo Mariduena), a...

Steven J. Martin doesn’t mess around. Though his movies are cerebral, you also can almost imagine him tearing open his torso as he spills his guts on the screen. The former Cape Codder, who now lives...

“The Flash” (PG-13, 144 minutes, in theaters) gives new meaning to the words “baby shower.” During the film’s wild opening, Barry Allen (Ezra Miller), aka the Flash, is called into action by Batman’s...
