Truth or Dare
Starring: Lucy Hale and Tyler Posey
Rated PG-13
What
begins as a harmless game of Truth or Dare among friends, turns
deadly when someone or something, begins to punish those who tell a
lie or refuse the dare.
“Truth or Dare” should have been so much better, especially coming from the folks who were behind “Get Out,” and the “Purge” series.
The film is a paint-by-numbers approach to horror film making, with absolutely no artistic flair whatsoever, leaving the audience with a bland, unsatisfying and totally forgettable film experience.
“Truth
or Dare” is not worth your time to see.
It gets a D and is rated PG-13.

Beirut
Starring:
Rosamund Pike and John Hamm
Rated
R
Caught
in the crossfires of civil war, two CIA operatives must send a former
U.S. diplomat to negotiate for the life of a friend he left
behind.
“Beirut” is falling under some heavy scrutiny since it wasn't filmed on location and it is not historically accurate.
Taking
that into consideration, I found the film to be a better-than-average
thriller. Both John Hamm and Rosamund Pike are extremely watchable in
this fast-paced story about a missing agent and the attempt made to
rescue him.
In
the end, “Beirut” is a film about friendships and cultures and
the price paid for diplomacy and political gain.
“Beirut”
gets a B and is rated R.
Rampage
Starring: Dwayne Johnson and Naomie Harris
Starring: Dwayne Johnson and Naomie Harris
Rated
PG-13
“Rampage,”
which is loosely based on the 1997 video game, is a throwback to the
1950's monster films, where man through science brings about
devastation by trying to control nature. Then it was radiation. In
today's world it's gene splicing.
Primatologist
Davis Okoye shares an unshakable bond with George, the
extraordinarily intelligent gorilla who has been in his care since
birth.
When
George along with a crocodile and a wolf are accidentally exposed to
a gene-altering serum, they begin to mutate and take on violent
tendencies.
It's up to Dwayne Johnson, once again playing the reluctant hero, to stop the world from ending, all the while saving his primate friend's life.

“Rampage”
is a silly and fun popcorn movie. As a fan of Godzilla, King Kong and
other golden age monster flicks, I liked the familiarity the film
brought to the screen.
It
gets a B and is rated PG-13.
