Halloween (2018)



Laurie Strode confronts her long-time foe Michael Myers, the masked figure who has haunted her since she narrowly escaped his killing spree on Halloween night four decades ago.

Competent and plausible continuation of the Halloween tale certainly doesn't live up to the simplicity and impact of the original, but has some nice twists and shocks.

Ant-Man (2015)



Armed with a super-suit with the astonishing ability to shrink in scale but increase in strength, cat burglar Scott Lang must embrace his inner hero and help his mentor, Dr. Hank Pym, plan and pull off a heist that will save the world.

Nicely entertaining Marvel superhero drama well-made on a somewhat smaller scale than similar projects; it helps, and the star cast seem to be enjoying the fun.

Playing For Keeps (2012)



A former sports star who's fallen on hard times starts coaching his son's soccer team as a way to get his life together. His attempts to become an adult are met with challenges from the attractive soccer moms who pursue him at every turn.

Lots of star talent wasted in this minor, mostly uninteresting dramedy about (believe it or not) the marital/parental aches of a has-been football star.

Maltin*1/2: "Innocuous romantic trifle populated by attractive star; easy to take and just as easy to forget."

Jurassic World (2015)



A new theme park, built on the original site of Jurassic Park, creates a genetically modified hybrid dinosaur, which escapes containment and goes on a killing spree.

This sequel to the Jurassic Park series doesn't add much to the formula, but is nevertheless professionally handled entertainment and offers some fun - especially when you're rooting for the dinosaurs.
