Despite the high-concept premise — retired exec<br />

The Last Witch Hunter (PG-13)<br />

This action fantasy, starr<strong>in</strong>g V<strong>in</strong> Diesel as an<br />

immortal who protects the world from witches,<br />

doesn’t work as campy escapism or as a guilty<br />

pleasure. It’s just deadly and dreadful, loud and<br />

obnoxious, convoluted and irritat<strong>in</strong>g, horrible and<br />

dumb. Sequences of fantasy violence and frighten<strong>in</strong>g<br />

images. One star.<br />

The Peanuts Movie (G)<br />

A CGI, 3-D feature about Charlie Brown and his<br />

my great relief, <strong>this</strong> is a meticulously faithful and<br />

It’s a sweet, funny, smart, genu<strong>in</strong>e all-ages<br />

movie with simple, timeless messages. Rat<strong>in</strong>g: Three<br />

Spectre (PG-13)<br />

The 24th James Bond film is solidly <strong>in</strong> the middle<br />

of the all-time rank<strong>in</strong>gs, which means it’s still a slick,<br />

beautifully photographed, action-packed, <strong>in</strong>ternational<br />

thriller with a number of ludicrously enterta<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g<br />

set pieces. Daniel Craig rema<strong>in</strong>s a tightly<br />

coiled, deadpan funny 007, and as the sadistic villa<strong>in</strong>,<br />

Christoph Waltz is wonderfully <strong>in</strong>sane. Intense<br />

sequences of action and violence, some disturb<strong>in</strong>g<br />

images, sensuality and language. Three stars.<br />
