They sure don’t make ’em like Hard Rain anymore. Well, they do still make action flicks as intellectually and morally deficient, but at least Hard Rain doesn’t look like shit, what with its practical effects and real stunts.

When Sabrina Carpenter calls herself a “Busy Woman,” she’s alluding to more than just a packed schedule, although she certainly gets around. My purpose, however, is not to slut-shame her but rather to explore whether she may be homophobic.

From the looks of Alpha, the “Europe” of “20,000 years ago” was almost entirely computer-generated. Humans are the only things consistently made of organic matter, and even they exude a glossy, sleek perfection — their skin, hair, and teeth pristine to the point of absurdity for a tribe of prehistoric hunter-gatherers.

The only thing that might have saved this movie is if they had called it Love at First Flight instead. Even if Dr. Johnson was right that puns are the lowest form of humor, they are still preferable to clichés. Then again, this entire film is one big fucking cliché.

Pray tell, times like what exactly? What are “times like these” actually like? I know; they are such times as you learn to live, give, and love “time and time again.” Well, that sure narrows it down.

In broad strokes, the deserted island setting is an excuse for some adult Lord of the Flies shenanigans. And by ‘adult’ I partly mean some rather tepid T&A that’s best summed up as ‘too little, too late.’

“Dance with You” wants to do with Whitney Houston’s “I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me)” what Body Count did for Suicidal Tendencies’ “Institutionalized.” The difference, other than their respective genres, is that Body Count improved on the original, while Laura Marano and electronic music duo Grey detract from it.

Beneath the typically clunky, English-as-a-second-language lyrics, Destruction make a great point about the durability and adaptability of evil in “Dealer of Death.”

Sew Torn is a theoretical anthology that feels more ‘so what’ than ‘what if.’ The plot, such as it is, consists of a three-item, multiple-choice trick question to which the correct answer is ‘d) None of the above.’

Jacoby Shaddix complains that the titular “Hollywood Whore” is “awake by noon, drunk by four.” Wait, didn’t Shaddix use to be a souse himself? Oh, but he’s a man, so I guess it’s all right.
