Ricki and the Flash

You haven't lived until you've seen Meryl Streep sing Pink and Lady Gaga.

I, now, have lived.

Fantastic Four

Okay, I couldn't NOT go see it, and I'm sure my lowered expectations from the wretched reviews helped, but -- I liked it.

Ah, c'mon: it is CERTAINLY better than the previous versions (just admit it)!

Bāhubali: The Beginning

Wait: I just sat through this fourteen-hour movie (give or take several hours)--no intermission--to learn that there is absolutely no resolution to the plot until "Baahubali: The Conclusion" comes out next year, by which time I will remember none of this?

Okay, so maybe the subtitle "the Beginning" should have given me the hint...

Ant-Man

I knew little about Ant-Man going in, but this might be my second-favorite Marvel Studios movie.

Which does not necessarily mean I would want to sit through it a second time.

Bajrangi Bhaijaan

A mute Pakistani girl is lost & alone & India--wouldn't it be refreshing if she were still at least one of these things by film's end?

Bollywood just doesn't work that way, but the ride is a fun one, even with a song containing the oft-repeated line, "let's take a selfie."
