Eight movies are reviewed this week with Erik Childress and Steve Prokopy including a little catch-up from our previous week off. Steve checks out a Minka Kelly rom-com (Champagne Problems) and a film that owes a lot to the world of Euro-spy films (Reflection in a Dead Diamond). Speaking of which Mark Wahlberg’s Morgan family is back for their own European intrigue (The Family Plan 2) while a documentary charts the business angle that is thriving from school children being in actual danger (Thoughts & Prayers) and Josh O’Connor tries to pick up the pieces after a wildfire (Rebuilding). There is the invincible hero who fought Nazis now on the run from the Soviets (Sisu: Road to Revenge) while Glen Powell has to survive 30 days to win a billion dollars in the re-adaptation of Stephen King’s novel (The Running Man). Finally, the witches of Oz return to complete their story with a giant thud.
