PG. 115 minutes. The latest hero of the Marvel Universe to hit the big screen, Scott Lang ( Paul Rudd) is a con artist drafted by a genius scientist ( Michael Douglas) to don an incredible shrinking suit to prevent a megalomaniac ( Corey Stoll) from controlling the teeny realm of inner space. The movie arrives with a relatively obscure hero at a time when we're all suffering a bit of comic book movie fatigue. It might have helped if director Peyton Reed demonstrated a little more directorial zest, but this registers as merely a smooth- running cog in the Marvel machine. �s �s �s FANTASTIC FOUR Grant Park, Kildonan Place, McGillivray, McGillivray VIP, Polo Park, St. Vital, Towne. PG. 100 minutes. This reboot reinvents and recasts the quartet of Marvel superheroes ( Miles Teller, Kate Mara, Michael B. Jordan and Jamie Bell) as they return from an alternate dimension and find themselves gifted with extraordinary abilities. This latest iteration is far from what its name suggests. Profoundly uninteresting, it hits all the beats of the standard superhero movie, but provides nothing in the way of imagination or magic. �s �s ( Reviewed by Katie Walsh ) THE GIFT Grant Park, Polo Park, St. Vital, Towne. 14A. 108 minutes. Upwardly mobile L. A. couple Simon and Robyn ( Jason Bateman and Rebecca Hall) find their marriage, and maybe their lives, are at risk when they make the acquaintance of Gordo ( played by writer- director Joel Edgerton), a mysterious and disturbed character from Simon's past. Consider the title to be apt. The Gift comes wrapped in the packaging of a rote psycho- thriller, but as the layers come off, you are awarded with something more complex, unexpected and thoroughly chilling. �s �s �s 1/ 2 INSIDE OUT Polo Park. G. 95 minutes. This Pixar animated feature creates anthropomorphized emotions to show the psychological workings at play when 11- year- old Riley moves with her mom and dad to a new home in San Francisco. Amy Poehler voices a joyous Joy and Lewis Black is on the nose as Anger, but you have to especially respect the portrayal of Sadness ( voiced with a tender comedic touch by Phyllis Smith), not as a negative or bad character but as a necessary member of the emotional team. She's an effective repudiation of a dominant feel- good culture that would love to see her medicated out of existence. �s �s �s �s IRRATIONAL MAN Grant Park. PG. 95 minutes. Written and directed by Woody Allen, this drama stars Joaquin Phoenix as an unruly philosophy professor who finds an unlikely - and criminal - purpose to his life while carrying on successive affairs with a married fellow prof ( Parker Posey) and a besotted student ( Emma Stone). Even an actor as compelling as Phoenix can't smooth out the bumps of this screenplay. These include the awkward age difference between Stone and Phoenix ( practically de rigueur in most Allen films) and a climax that feels especially untrue and dishonest. �s �s 1/ 2 JURASSIC WORLD Polo Park, St. Vital. PG. 125 minutes. Set 22 years after the events of Jurassic Park , the theme park is now a 10- year- old success story until corporate suits compel the park's operations manager ( Bryce Dallas Howard) to create a genetic hybrid monster, to the consternation of a raptor trainer ( Chris Pratt) obliged to save the day. In its scale and visual effects, it feels like a proper sequel to Jurassic Park , except the characters are thin and the first film's critique of scientific hubris just gets lost in the rote blockbuster action. �s �s �s COBAIN: MONTAGE OF HECK Cinematheque. 14A. 133 minutes. This made- for- HBO documentary manages to be both an artistic statement and a compelling investigation into the life of Nirvana front man and rock martyr Kurt Cobain, who killed himself at the age of 27 in 1994. Executive produced by Frances Bean Cobain, the daughter he left behind, the film is a searing, honest examination of the Cobain enigma that doesn't answer all the questions, but provides hitherto unseen insights through an examination of Cobain's art. �s �s �s �s A LEGO BRICKUMENTARY Bandwidth. G. 93 minutes. Narrated by Jason Bateman, this doc examines the history of the snap- together toy that has also emerged as a Hollywood player in the wake of The Lego Movie's box office success. While the message about individual creativity within a universal form is inspiring, it does get repetitive cycling through each individual example. One of the most relevant and interesting points is developed toward the end: that Lego itself is a closed mathematical system, but also a universal language that can unite across borders, cultures, and abilities. �s �s �s ( Reviewed by Katie Walsh ) MINIONS Kildonan Place, McGillivray, Polo Park, St. Vital, Towne. PG. 91 minutes. This animated prequel to Despicable Me tells the backstory of those yellow, capsular villain- enablers when they go to work for fiendish super villain Scarlet Overkill ( voiced by Sandra Bullock), a chic gal intent on world domination. The secret of this film's success is co- directors Kyle Balda and Pierre Coffin have a superb sense of the sight gag, very much beholden to the classic Warner Bros. ' toons of Bugs Bunny and the Road Runner. Also distinguishing it from the Disney/ Pixar fold, they also have a delightful sense of naughtiness. �s �s �s MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - ROGUE NATION Grant Park, Kildonan Place, McGillivray, McGillivray VIP, Polo Park, Polo Park Imax, St. Vital, Towne. PG. 132 minutes. Impossible Mission Force agent Ethan Hunt ( Tom Cruise) attempts to prove the existence of an evil, mirror- image version of the IMF accessible only through a beguiling Brit agent ( Rebecca Ferguson) of ambiguous loyalty. One catches a certain whiff of desperation as the movie goes through tried and true Mission: Imposssible motions, such as Ethan breaking into an ultra- secure computer facility ( see the first movie), participating in a thrilling, breakneck motorcycle chase ( see the second movie) and being blackmailed by the villain to employ his talents to do his bidding ( see the third movie). �s �s 1/ 2 MR. HOLMES Grant Park. PG. 105 minutes. An aged Sherlock Holmes ( Ian McKellen) retires to a country house where he battles a failing memory to recall the haunting circumstances of his final case. Director Bill Condon, who collaborated with McKellen on Gods and Monsters , offers up a poignant closing chapter to Holmes canon, touching on themes of love and legacy. �s �s �s 1/ 2 PIXELS Kildonan Place, Polo Park, St. Vital, Towne. PG. 105 minutes. Adam Sandler stars as a former video game champ recruited with some other geeks ( including Peter Dinklage and Josh Gad) to do battle when alien invaders attack earth in the guise of ' 80s arcade superstars including Donkey Kong and Pac- Man. The core concept is clever, but its execution in the hands of director/ producer Chris Columbus and star/ producer Sandler is a mess. This disappointing comedy falls apart before it begins. �s ( Reviewed by Sandy Cohen ) RICKI AND THE FLASH Grant Park, McGillivray, Polo Park. PG. 101 minutes. Meryl Streep is a hard- rocking singer obliged to assume responsibility for the family she left behind for her career when her daughter ( Mamie Gummer) faces a personal crisis. Director Jonathan Demme gives us something sweet and likable, but it pulls too many punches to qualify as cathartic or even memorable. It's a crowd- pleaser every bit as calculated and defanged as a Golden Oldies bus- andtruck tour. �s �s 1/ 2 ( Reviewed by Ann Hornaday ) SHAUN THE SHEEP MOVIE Kildonan Place, McGillivray, Polo Park, St. Vital, Towne. G. 85 minutes. In this spinoff of the British TV series, Shaun and the members of his flock find themselves in the big city and must use all their ovine ingenuity to get safely back to the farm. The movie creates great visual comedy that can be shown to any age group or nationality without having to make any changes. It's a very basic brand of humour done so well, it's downright special. �s �s �s �s ( Reviewed by Rick Bentley ) SOUTHPAW McGillivray, Polo Park , Towne . 14A. 124 minutes. Jake Gyllenhaal stars as a light- heavyweight champion boxer who loses it all after suffering a personal tragedy and must fight his way back to the top with assistance from a skeptical trainer ( Forest Whitaker). Director Antoine Fuqua layers the movie with the foul- mouthed, corrupt, violent grunge of the contemporary boxing world, but squeegee away the scum and this is a very old- fashioned movie about a troubled man's fight for redemption and love. �s �s �s TRAINWRECK Grant Park, McGillivray, Polo Park, St. Vital. 14A. 125 minutes. Amy Schumer wrote and stars in this raunchy comedy from Judd Apatow playing a hard- partying, relationship- averse magazine writer thrown for a loop when a nice sports doctor ( Bill Hader) falls in love with her. She may be an unconventional romantic heroine, but Schumer has sufficient comedic goods to draft the reliably funny Hader into service as a likable second banana and make rassler John Cena downright hilarious. Pity it doesn't finish as strongly as it began. �s �s �s 1/ 2 VACATION Grant Park, Kildonan Place, McGillivray, McGillivray VIP, Polo Park, St. Vital, Towne. 14A. 99 minutes. A chip off the old blockhead, Rusty Griswold ( Ed Helms) emulates his idiot dad Clark ( Chevy Chase) and drags his wife and kids to the theme park Walley World with the desperate intent on bringing his family closer together. This sequel/ reboot to National Lampoon's Vacation ( 1983) often gets too disgusting for its own good, but still delivers the required laughs, without enduring too much of Chase ( he has an extended cameo) and his relentless mugging. �s �s �s WILD TALES Cinematheque. 14A. 122 minutes. Revenge is a dish best served over six courses in this provocative, mostly- funny six- episode portmanteau from Argentine writer/ director Dami�n Szifr�n. Highlights are the first ( passengers on an airplane realize they all share acquaintance with a disturbed individual named Pasternak) and the last ( the story of a wedding reception going spectacularly off the rails). �s �s �s �s The following movies have been previously reviewed by Free Press movie critic Randall King, unless otherwise noted.
