“Confetti”: Everything about writer/director Ann Hu’s drama about a family overcoming the stigma of dyslexia is as competent as it is bland. Details: 2 stars now available to stream.

“Beckett” isn’t horrible but it seems uncertain as to what it truly wants to be. Rice and director Ferdinando Cito Filomarino devotes too much time setting up the tragedy and then sprints past critical plot points that require more attention. An under-developed screenplay by Kevin A.

He’s plagued him with guilt since he fell asleep at the wheel and the crash killed his lover/passenger (Vikander). Washington gets beaten up, stabbed and knocked around as a frantic American tourist who stumbles into political chicanery after he crashes his rental car. “Beckett”: A sluggish pace and stilted action scenes mar Netflix’s middling Greece-set thriller starring John David Washington, Alicia Vikander and Boyd Holbrook. 20 in theaters and available on Paramount+. It’s all presented with kids in mind, although I could have done without all that cat-dissing.

Of course, there’s a ton of juvenile humor, including a greedy Monopoly-looking mayor who loses his pants every now and then.
#GOOD NEW MOVIES SERIES#
Based on the popular Nickelodeon series about a superhero search-and-rescue team made up of cute pooches and one teen, “Paw Patrol” never talks down to its targeted audience, and addresses issues on overcoming one’s fears, and the importance of coming together for a common ground. I agree with that philosophy, and am happy to report this old-fashioned, G-rated animated children’s film (young children, that is, not teens or tweens) does everything it intends to do. “Paw Patrol: The Movie”: The late, great critic Roger Ebert used to say he rated films based on how well they accomplished what they set out to do. Details: 3½ stars out of 4 in select theaters Aug. “The Night House” refreshingly avoids the bloodletting, and instead invites us into a tale of psychological terror wherein love comes bearing thorns and the past won’t let go of any of us. His effective scare tactics create a serious state of unease as Beth (Hall) gradually pinpoints secrets that form the foundation of that gorgeous home built by her late architect husband (Evan Jonigkeit). He leans heavily on the atmospherics, slapping us to attention with jarring sound effects and trickster camerawork that suggests a presence is lurking around the corner. While Hall presents another airtight case for why she’s one of our best, most underappreciated actors, Bruckner also firms up his rep as a master maker of cerebral horror (check out his underrated “The Ritual” on Netflix). “The Night House”: Rebecca Hall’s performance as a grief-stricken, haunted widow grounds and enhances director David Bruckner’s ominous and striking horror feature. Meanwhile, here are four other releases well worth your time: the artsy horror thriller “The Night House,” the kids film “Paw Patrol: The Movie,” the shocking art documentary “The Lost Leonardo” and the trippy adult animated treat “Cryptozoo.” The highest profile ones include the hybrid streaming/theatrical release “Reminiscence” (screened too late for us to review) with Hugh Jackman, and “Flag Day,” a drama directed by Sean Penn and starring his daughter, Dylan Francis, and the thriller “Protege” with Maggie Q and Samuel L. The summer box office perked up last weekend thanks to Ryan Reynolds and “Free Guy.” This week finds fewer potential breakout hits. New movies: 'Night House' tops an insanely uneven week
