"The Big Sick" is an entertaining and deeply felt film that is based on the real life story of comedian Kumail Nanjiani and his wife, Emily V. Gordon.

The movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe have been getting darker of late but with "Spider-Man: Homecoming" we get a true comic-book movie with lots of action, light-hearted fun, and character growth.

The silliness continues in the latest zany adventure for Gru and the Minions. But, this time, he’s joined by his long-lost twin brother, Dru.

"The Little Hours" is a comedy by writer/director Jeff Baena that premiered in January at Sundance. It's based on a couple of novellas from Giovanni Boccaccio's 14th century The Decameron.

I have to confess that I really enjoyed the antics of George and Harold, having been one of those kids who giggled whenever there was a bit of flatulence.

The first superhero film to be directed by a woman, Patty Jenkins, "Wonder Woman" tells the origin story of Diana Prince, who is both compassionate, gentle, and peace-loving while at the same time strong, uncompromising where important, and unwilling to be pushed around.

Johnny Depp once again dons the dreads and heavy eyeliner of Captain Jack Sparrow in “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales.” Thankfully, though, he’s not actually the hero of the tale. That honor goes to the ‘next generation’ duo of Henry Turner (Brenton Thwaites) and Carina Smyth (Kaya Scodelario).

Thankfully, it is not.
