    Big Trouble in Little China

    ★★★

    This chaotic supernatural adventure only makes any sense if I think of it as a D&D campaign:

    A truck driver rogue and his monk buddy join forces with a lawyer (paladin) and some colorful NPCs to take on an evil lich and his sorcerer minions in order to rescue the monk’s girlfriend (secretly a dragon princess) and save the town from rival magical gangs. They escape from a street fight ambush, sneak into the labyrinthine depths of a creepy warehouse, witness arcane rituals, and just barely roll well enough to save the day.

    Pair with a unknown magical concoction that is definitely not legal

  • Challengers

    Challengers

    ★★★

    Engaging—if not exactly deep—movie about hot people making questionable choices because they were raised to have only one skill in life (tennis). The takeaways seems to be:
    A) it’s ok to sleep with your husband’s frenemy as long as husband and frenemy low key have the hots for each other
    B) you should definitely have a back-up career

    Pair with Gatorade and churros

    Addicted to Love

    ★★★★½

    A film that achieves the optimal flirt-to-roast ratio (has any rom-com other than 10 Things I Hate About You done that?):

    The hottest possible iteration of Matthew Broderick collides (literally and figuratively) with the only truly attractive version of Meg Ryan in an unhinged stake-out of their exes’s NYC apartment. A+ banter; delightfully absurd premise that revels in its chaos yet somehow develops characters that are sympathetic despite their self-centeredness and terrible choices. This is Rear Window executed with Gone…
