Here are some snapshot reactions to recent movies. Five star rating tops:

The Long Walk. Two stars. Too talky and the ending was puzzling.

The conjuring: Last Rites: Five star. Well done conclusion.

The Roses: One star. Bad casting, a real miss.

Caught Stealing. Four stars. Lots of fun and captures a New York period.

Relay: Five stars. Whip smart, an adult suspense movie that nails it.

Honey Don’t: One star. Every cliche in the book. So thin and obvious. Bad movie.

Nobody 2: Four stars. Not bad, some good fun, but not nearly as good s the first one.

The Naked Gun: Five stars. It lived up to my high expectations.

Freakier Friday: Four stars. It may not be better than the last one but it is big fun. A little confusing with four characters changing.

Superman: Four stars. Clever and fresh approach, had to be, I am burned out on Superman.
