Can’t decide what to see this weekend?

Bowling Green Daily News film critic Micheal Compton is here to tell you the best – and worst – now playing at your local cineplex.

Christopher Robin (C)

Disney’s latest endeavor is a mixed bag.

It’s a late-summer film aimed for the family audience, but for the most part it’s anything but a family film. There are moments that work, but those are fleeting as the film struggles to find the right tone. (Regal Bowling Green Stadium 12)

Crazy Rich Asians (B)

The first film with an all Asian cast doesn’t rest on that, it proves to be a delightful romantic comedy that has universal appeal thanks to a strong cast and a clever screenplay (Regal Greenwood Mall Stadium 10)

Hell Fest (F)

A completely unimaginative, lazy horror flick where everyone involve appears to be bored to death. That boredom seeps into the audience who will want to head for the exits long before the last jump scare. (Regal Greenwood Mall Stadium 10, Highland Cinemas)

The House With the Clock in the Walls (B)

Jack Black and Cate Blanchett work well together in this enjoyable tale of a young boy who moves in with his warlock uncle. It’s visually impressive with Black and Blanchett delightful. (Regal Bowling Green Stadium 12, Highland Cinemas, Franklin Drive-In)

Little Women (D+)

The latest adaptation of the Louisa May Alcott novel is a modern twist with a pretty much unknown cast that completely misses everything that made Alcott’s work so beloved. (Regal Greenwood Mall Stadium 10)

The Meg (B-)

If you’ve ever wanted to see Jason Statham and a gigantic CGI shark battle it out, “The Meg” is the movie you’ve been waiting for.

The latest spin on a man-eating shark story is a big ol’ ball of dumb that’s riddled with some pretty standard cliches, but it still manages to work because it never takes itself too seriously. (Regal Bowling Green Stadium 12)

Night School (C)

Kevin Hart and Tiffany Haddish.

It’s a pairing that on paper should have created comedic fireworks. Unfortunately, those sparks never come to fruition in “Night School” – a comedy with some laughs, but not nearly enough to sustain a close to two-hour running time. (Regal Bowling Green Stadium 12, Regal Greenwood Mall Stadium 10, Highland Cinemas)

The Nun (C)

This spin-off of “The Conjuring” series feels like nothing more than a cash grab – which judging by the film’s box office returns seems to have worked. (Regal Bowling Green Stadium 12, Regal Greenwood Mall Stadium 10, Highland Cinemas)

Peppermint (C-)

Even by vigilante film standards, this is a film with a really nasty streak that ultimately left me cold. Sure it’s kinda fun to see Jennifer Garner take down an entire drug cartel, but there are only so many times you can see a bullet shot to the head before it gets to be tiresome. (Regal Greenwood Mall Stadium 10)

The Predator (D+)

It’s back to the 1980s with a reboot of sorts of the popular franchise that began 30 years ago. As fun as it is to revisit one of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s better films, this update never quite clicks despite trying to rebottle the vibe from the original. (Regal Bowling Green Stadium 12, Regal Greenwood Mall Stadium 10)

Searching (B)

This is a compelling thriller that takes the computer screen gimmick from the “Unfriended” franchise and enhances it – with a film full of twists and turns and a surprising touch of humanism. (Regal Bowling Green Stadium 12)

Shine (not reviewed at this time)

(Regal Bowling Green Stadium 12)

A Simple Favor (B)

With Anna Kendrick and Blake Lively providing a pair of strong leads, director Paul Feig’s dark comedy that was adapted from Darcey Bell’s novel is an absolute blast, giving audiences a delightful homage to French thrillers. (Regal Bowling Green Stadium 12)

Smallfoot (C)

This animated film takes aim at pleasing its target audience but really offers nothing else beyond that – a feature film that would have worked better as a short. (Regal Bowling Green Stadium 12, Regal Greenwood Mall Stadium 10, Highland Cinemas, Franklin Drive-In)

A Star is Born (A)

It’s the fourth incarnation, yet this latest version from Bradley Cooper feels fresh and new.

That is a testament to Cooper, who co-wrote, directed and stars. He has created a very personal movie that you can feel on every frame – a stripped-down version that is raw and intimate, with a pair of knockout performances from Cooper and Lady Gaga. (Regal Bowling Green Stadium 12, Regal Greenwood Mall Stadium 10, Highland Cinemas)

Unbroken: Path to Redemption (not reviewed at this time)

(Regal Bowling Green Stadium 12, Highland Cinemas)

Venom (C-)

The latest Marvel comics adaptation from Sony centers around a character who on paper should be part of a darker, more adult-oriented audience. Instead, it’s a film that feels more like a buddy sit-com with some weird tonal shifts that just undermine everything happening on the screen. It never quite clicks, making “Venom” one of the weaker comic book films. (Regal Bowling Green Stadium 12, Regal Greenwood Mall Stadium 10, Highland Cinemas)

White Boy Rick (C)

Competently made film based on the true story of a 15-year-old boy in Detroit in the 1980s who became an infamous drug kingpin. While the story is certainly interesting the film is proof that not every true story translates to film. (Regal Greenwood Mall Stadium 10)
