Hotel Artemis
Starring: Jodie Foster and Dave
Bautista
Rated R
Set
in riot-torn, near-future Los Angeles, 'Hotel Artemis' follows the
Nurse, who runs a secret, members-only emergency room for criminals.
“Hotel Artemis” wants to offer up a
slick, edgy and stylized film.
The problem there isn't much gong on in
the plot for the audience to grab onto. “Hotel Artemis” is told
in a clunky vignette style, never coming to the point. The film just
meanders around a few disjointed subplots but never lands any solid
ground.
What the audience is left with is a messy, bland and unfulfilling movie experience.

“Hotel Artemis” gets a D and is
rated R.
Ocean's 8
Starring: Sandra Bullock, Cate
Blanchett and Anne Hathaway
Rated PG-13
Danny
Ocean's sister, Debbie, attempts to pull off the heist of the century
at New York City's star-studded annual Met Gala. Her first stop is to
assemble the perfect all-female crew.
If you're looking for “Ocean's 11,” pass this one by. It never really offers the fun and whimsy of the George Clooney / Brad Pitt series.
That being said, on it's own merit, “Ocean's 8” does offer up it's own unique pacing as the ladies take over.
After
all is said and done, “Oceans 8” is an audience pleaser. A good
popcorn summer caper film with enough twists to keep the audience
interested.
It gets a B and is rated PG-13.
