Rotten Tomatoes:91% approval rating (64 out of 70 critics like it)
Critics Consensus: Nostalgic in the best sense, Everybody Wants Some!! finds Richard Linklater ambling through the past with a talented cast, a sweetly meandering story, and a killer classic rock soundtrack.
Entertainment Weekly - Everybody Wants Some!! may be a little shambling and uneventful. But like college, it's the late aimless nights and idle afternoons that you look back on most fondly when you get older. B+
New Yor Daily News - Finally, an "Animal House" movie for the generation that can remember seeing "Animal House." Maybe. There's never an emotional moment here to compete, or even compare, with his last film, "Boyhood." But there's not supposed to be. "Everybody Wants Some!!" is as laid-back and low-pressure as a Saturday afternoon at someone's dorm room. 4/5
Richard Roeper - It’s not as if “Everybody Wants Some!!” features any of the characters from Linklater’s cult classic, coming-of-age stoner comedy about the last day at a Texas high school in 1976. But this feels like a spiritual sequel, set in Texas just a few years later and featuring a large and likable ensemble cast of characters during a short but pivotal period in their lives. 4/4
Rolling Stone - Leave it to Linklater to create a nonstop party that keeps ringing undertones of what happens when the party's over. That's what makes it a Linklater film. He builds human comedies, the kind that last. 3/4
Toronto Sun - The film - which is being marketed as "a spiritual sequel" to Linklater's Dazed And Confused (and a "more chill" Animal House by the director himself) - meanders from minor adventure to minor adventure, with exchanges of amiable dude existentialism. 4/5
BATMAN V SUPERMAN Plunges 69 Percent in Second Weekend to $51.8 Million
Zack Snyder's Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice plunged an estimated 69 percent in its second weekend — one of the biggest drops in history for a marquee superhero title — even as it easily stayed No. 1.
Final numbers show the Warner Bros. title earning $51.8 million from 4,256 theaters for a domestic total of $260.9 million. Dismal reviews and a B CinemaScore are no doubt catching up with the superhero smackdown.
Heading into the weekend, some analysts thought BvS would pull in north of $60 million, considering it had little competition (no new major studio title opened nationwide). Warners and Snyder have plenty riding on BvS, which launches the DC cinematic universe, including two Justice League movies — the first of which Snyder is presently shooting — and this summer's Suicide Squad.
BvS is also seeing big drops in some key international markets. Overall, the movie fell 67 percent internationally to $85.3 million from 67 markets for a foreign total of $422.5million and a global haul of $683.4 million. BvS has slowed dramatically in China, where it was beaten by Zootopia this weekend. It has earned $85 million in the Middle Kingdom to date.
Among other superhero movies, Avengers: Age of Ultron fell 59 percent in its second weekend and The Dark Knight, 53 percent. The only major studio superhero movie to see a decline approaching 70 percent was X-Men Origins: The Wolverine, which fell 69 percent in its second outing. Snyder's Man of Steel dipped 65 percent.
Synopsis: Henry, a newly resurrected cyborg who must save his wife/creator from the clutches of a psychotic tyrant with telekinetic powers, AKAN, and his army of mercenaries. Fighting alongside Henry is Jimmy, who is Henry's only hope to make it through the day. Hardcore takes place over the course of one day, in Moscow, Russia.

He's a professional assassin. Francis is a hitman with a cause: he unexpectedly kills the people ordering the hits. Just as Martha begins to realize her new beau wasn't joking when he said he had to step out for a moment to shoot someone, things start heating up for Francis.

Melissa McCarthy's THE BOSS in Close Battle with BATMAN V SUPERMAN
Going into the weekend, it was expected that Batman v Superman would easily hold the No. 1 spot for the third weekend in a row, but Melissa McCarthy's The Boss is giving the superhero film a run for its money as BvS drops a steeper-than-expected 55 percent over the past weekend. Some studio rivals expect the drop to be closer to 60 percent.
Still, with Friday estimates, it looks like BvS should slide in just above The Boss, which earned an estimated $8.1 million Friday on its way to $21 million for the weekend. BvS, which was expected to earn at least $25 million heading into the weekend, is falling short to earn $22 million, which would bring its three-week domestic tally to around $296 million.
Even with the steep drop off domestically, Batman v Superman has been doing notable business overseas, and has earned $729 million worldwide to date.
The Boss, McCarthy's fifth starring vehicle since her breakout in 2011's Bridesmaids, landed a poor C+ Cinemascore, and has not been received well critically (currently at 18 percent on Rotten Tomatoes). But, with a budget of $29 million, a debut of north of $20 million will likely be considered another win for McCarthy, whose had a string of box office successes regardless of how the films have been received by critics.
Rotten Tomatoes:18% approval rating (17 out of 95 critics like it)
Critics Consensus: Melissa McCarthy remains as fiercely talented as ever, but her efforts aren't enough to prop up the baggy mess of inconsistent gags and tissue-thin writing that brings down The Boss.
Entertainment Weekly - A few moments are fantastically bonkers, but granting director duties to McCarthy's husband, Ben Falcone, feels more like an act of love than wisdom. C+
Richard Roeper - It's just early April, but I have an early contender for the most loathsome, ill-advised, horrible executed, most spectacularly unfunny movie scene of the year. 1/4
Rolling Stone - McCarthy is a national slapstick treasure, but The Boss is a weak-kneed comedy that would topple without her. 2.5/4
Toronto Star - Did you ever think only male comics could obsess over infantile boob, crotch and sex jokes? The Boss will set you straight on that delusion, too. 1.5/4
Chicago Tribune - "The Boss" has zero finesse as a comedy. When Darnell crashes into a wall, or takes a tumble down the stairs, it's alarming and painful, as opposed to funny. 1.5/4
Among the three movies mentioned, horror-thriller fans should check out The Invitation. It's getting a lot of critical praise. I'll do a Critics' Reviews segment on it later.

Rotten Tomatoes:51% approval rating (42 out of 82 critics like it)
Critics Consensus: Hardcore Henry seems poised to reinvent the action flick, but without a story or characters worth caring about, its first-person gimmick quickly loses its thrill.
Entertainment Weekly - I'm sure a lot of people will call Hardcore Henry "innovative" and "groundbreaking." And maybe it is. But it also feels more like a cool gimmick than a movie-and that gimmick gets old pretty fast. C
New York Daily News - You could go see "Hardcore Henry" - or you could gulp down a pint of vodka, load in "Grand Theft Auto," then strap the TV to your face and throw yourself down the stairs. 0/5
Newsday - A gonzo Russian action-flick shot entirely in first-person perspective. About as coherent as it sounds, but highly inventive and bloody great fun. 3/4
Rolling Stone - It's all about the ride, the relentless wallop and whoosh. But, hey, sometimes that's all a cine-junkie needs for a fix. 2.5/4
Blu-ray.com - Not the visuals that end up souring the viewing experience, but the lack of story, terrible performances, and a tuneless soundtrack, making the titular brute's periodic wargasms the highlight of the effort. C

Critics Consensus: Demolition benefits from a stellar cast, even if their solid work isn't always enough to prop up a confused story that aims for profundity but too often settles for clichés.
Entertainment Weekly - A manipulative downer about a widower who deals with his icy emotional numbness by literally taking a sledgehammer to his old life. C+
Rolling Stone - Director Jean-Marc Vallee keeps pounding the point that Gyllenhaal's character must destroy his old self to build a new one. It would be funny if it wasn't so profoundly unprofound. 2/4
Richard Roeper - This is one of those movies made by smart people about smart people that gives the audience no credit. 1.5/4
Toronto Star - Earned tears and unexpected laughter combine for more satisfying impact. Gyllenhaal and Watts can wring empathy out of the oddest of circumstances. 3/4
James Berardinelli - Thank god for Jake Gyllenhaal. Absent his performance, Demolition would have been a more unbearable slog than it is. 1.5/4
Rotten Tomatoes:92% approval rating (44 out of 48 critics like it)
Critics Consensus: The Invitation makes brilliant use of its tension-rich premise to deliver a uniquely effective -- and surprisingly clever -- slow-building thriller.
Entertainment Weekly - Kusama ratchets the story's tension masterfully, building to a final shot that's as chilling as it is perfect. A-
Boston Globe - Kusama's handling of point of view is diabolically shrewd. She maximizes the terror potential of the vapidly ostentatious modernist mansion without fetishizing it. She intensifies the monstrosity of some of the characters by making them all too human. 3.5/4
The Playlist - Karyn Kusama takes the backdrop of hippie dippy feel-goodery on the outskirts of Los Angeles to some nerve-jangling extremes with "The Invitation," a taut thriller that almost doesn't waste a single step. B
Seattle Times - Kusama ratchets up the tension expertly; we, like Will, become increasingly uncomfortable, seeing evil omens everywhere. 3/4
IGN Movies - The Invitation is a must-see for fans that enjoy an enthralling psychological thriller, but like leaving the theater unnerved even more. 9.3/10
Melissa McCarthy's THE BOSS Beats BATMAN V SUPERMAN for Top Spot
Melissa McCarthy, squaring off against both Batman and Superman over the weekend, scored a narrow victory, as the raucous comedian’s new feature The Boss claimed the top spot at the North American box office in a virtual photo finish with an estimated $23.48 million, just a few dollars above Batman v. Superman’s weekend gross of $23.44 million.
The superhero movie fell 54 percent in its third weekend as its total domestic tally rose to $296.7 million. Internationally, BvS took in $34 million from 67 markets to bring its international cume to $486.8 million and its worldwide total to $783.5 million.
Hardcore Henry, the first-person POV action movie from STX Entertainment, the weekend's other new wide release, didn't shoot up the box office, debuting at just $5.1 million for a fifth-place showing from 3,015 locations.
The Boss, released by Universal in 3,480 locations, had to overcome withering reviews — its approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes was just 18 percent — and a C+ rating from CinemaScore, along the way. But, McCarthy could nevertheless claim her third No. 1 one opening, following 2013’s Identity Thief and last summer’s Spy.
Saw the trailers: both looked meh, but Mr Right has Kendrick (yours) and Rockwell so it has built in positives. I'll probably check that and Invitation out.
Was an outstanding family movie does the original justice with an excellent voice cast , beautifully crisp animation for talking animals and very good performance from a young actor that is able to capture a full scope of character growth in a nice little arc . The story isn't complicated but the interaction between Mowgli ( Neel Sehti) and basically the voices of some prominent veterans ( Bill Murray, Ben Kingsley , Idris Elba to name a few ) , is something to admire and I give credit to creative directing, definitely bring the kids , they will enjoy it
