Bad Moms is the latest comedy from the writers of The Hangover series, who made their directorial debut with the underwhelming flick 21 & Over (2013). Promos for this effort promise the same kind of wild shenanigans for mothers as the filmmakers have depicted for bachelor parties and college students. Admittedly, the concept has potential, and it features a great cast. Alas, this title is far more generic than one might expect — Bad Moms even seems like a misnomer; Bad Husbands and Children is far more apt.

Amy (Mila Kunis) is a harried working mom struggling to juggle a career and family. Unfortunately, her family doesn’t seem...

In fact, it’s considerably more entertaining than the previous installment.

As the story begins, Captain Kirk (Chris Pine) is beginning to find the routine of space exploration a bit too familiar, to the point where he becomes concerned about his...

It’s really too bad. The new horror picture Lights Out is based on a very scary short film that garnered so much attention from studios that it was developed into a feature. It’s about the nasty, violent spirit of a girl who exists exclusively in the darkness, stalking her prey whenever the lights go out (and when they don’t, she turns the bulbs off herself). There’s a really fun and exciting opening scene that really takes advantage of the premise, locking a couple of workers in a factory space and moving the spirit closer and closer between flickers of light.

Unfortunately, there isn’t much more to this feature. Yes...
