FEATURED MOVIE REVIEW: Same Kind of Different as MeNEW YORK. Viewers committed to scriptural values will be inclined to cut the good-hearted but uneven drama “Same Kind of Different as Me” (Paramount) some slack.

FEATURED MOVIE REVIEW: Blade RunnerNEW YORK. Misogyny hangs over “Blade Runner 2049” (R, Warner Bros.) as blithely as the thick yellow fog of the post-apocalyptic Los Angeles it portrays.

FEATURED MOVIE REVIEW: American MadeNEW YORK. “American Made” (R, Universal), the wild, fact-based story of airline pilot-turned-gun-runner Barry Seal (Tom Cruise), is far too turbulent for youngsters and even too bumpy for most of their elders.

FEATURED MOVIE REVIEW: All SaintsNEW YORK. Sincere but less than slick, the low-key, fact-based drama “All Saints” (PG, Sony) celebrates Christian faith and family life. Believers, accordingly, will likely be inclined to overlook its artistic shortcomings.

FEATURED MOVIE REVIEW: Leap!NEW YORK. Ballet enthusiasts of all ages should jump at the chance to see the charming animated film “Leap!” (PG, Weinstein).

FEATURED MOVIE REVIEW: Baby Driver

NEW YORK. Stylish and energetic, the high-octane crime drama “Baby Driver” (R, TriStar) blends pop music, dizzying car chases and some dark humor to impressive effect.

FEATURED MOVIE REVIEW: Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No TalesNEW YORK.  Iconic and eccentric buccaneer Capt. Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) hoists the black flag for a fifth time in “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales” (PG-13, Disney). The result is a flashy but ultimately unsatisfying journey for the theme park ride-based franchise that first set sail in 2003.
