Una (out Jun 22) is the story of a woman who chooses to reconnect with a man who had sexually abused her more than a decade ago. Based on a 2005 play, it does feel a little "staged" but it's still a worthy exploration of abuse and how its effects stay with people forever. Grade: B.

Transformers: The Last Knight (out Jun 22) is a long, punishing struggle that offers very little in the way of entertainment. I’d given up by the final hour. I didn’t care what happened to these characters or how the narrative resolved itself. I just wanted it to end so I could return to a world where everything isn’t in slow motion and where the image in front of me doesn’t change every quarter of a second. Grade: C-.

Cars 3 (out Jun 22) is an improvement on the first sequence and follows Lightning McQueen as he struggles to stay competitive on the race track against much younger competition. While the story is slow at times, the messages are worthy and relevant. Animation incredible. Grade: B+.

Despicable Me 3 (out Jun 15) is far from groundbreaking but has fun in introducing a new Steve Carell character - Gru's brother, Dru. The minions are pushed into the background (that's a good thing as they're generally boring) and the cute script sees Gru consider returning to life as a villain. Grade: B.

All Eyez on Me (out Jun 15) appears to be a shallow, one-sided retelling of the life of hip-hop artist Tupac Shakur. It doesn't ask tough questions and it doesn't dig deep in terms of certain events. Grade: C+.

Rough Night (out Jun 15) is a low-brow comedy about 5 women at a bachelorette party who accidentally kill a stripper and then try to dispose of the body. I’ll freely admit that the premise here in stupid and the ending is ridiculously predicable. Still, this works as a comedy because of the cast and their hilarious conversations (particularly during the opening half). Grade: B.

Whitney: Can I Be Me (out Jun 15) is a documentary that effectively uses archival footage to pay homage to the late singer Whitney Houston. We see what made her so great but also what helped destroy her career. Grade: B+.

Kedi (out Jun 15) is a film made solely for cat lovers. It follows a group of cats from Istanbul and the part they play in their owner's lives. There's nothing land breaking here but given the popularity of cat videos on social media, this film will have an audience. Grade: B.

The Promise (out Jun 15) is a heavy drama set in Turkey during the early stages of World War I and is centred on an Armenian medical student, an American journalist and the woman who comes between them. The film is trying to affect audiences emotionally but the impact is lost with the overly manufactured screenplay. Grade: C+.

The Mummy (out Jun 8) is the first in a "Dark Monsters" universe that is trying to compete with the likes of Marvel and DC Comics. Tom Cruise plays a not-so-nice guy who stumbles across a hidden tomb and unleashed a powerful evil upon the world. The film's light-hearted nature reminded me of the National Treasure franchise. Story could have been more interesting though. Grade: B-.
