Ghostbusters (out Jul 14) is no masterpiece but it's a still an enjoyable comedy that pays homage to the original while also creating a bunch of new characters. The biggest surprise is that the lesser known Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones outshine both Kristen Wiig and Melissa McCarthy. Grade: B.

Our Kind of Traitor (out Jul 14) is an action thriller based on the novel by John le Carré. A British lecturer holidaying in Morocco is befriended by a Russian money launderer seeking help. Like previous le Carré adaptations, the characters act surprisingly sensibly and there’s a worthy ending that fits neatly with the lead up. Grade: B+.

Maggie's Plan (out Jul 7) is a romantic comedy starring Greta Gerwig, Ethan Hawke and Julianne Moore. It wins points for being slightly unorthodox but there's not a lot of substance to these characters and I grew tired of their quirky sensibilities. Grade: B-.

Mike & Dave Need Wedding Dates (out Jul 7) is a surprisingly entertaining comedy about two guys forced to find dates for their sister's wedding. The girls are as a crazy as the guys, there are plenty of great one-liners, and the supporting cast pull their weight. Grade: B+.

The Legend of Tarzan (out Jul 7) is a muddling film. The dull narrative is infused with quick flashbacks that show how Tarzan came to be. Christoph Waltz is a cheesy villain and Margot Robbie is given very little to do as Tarzan's kidnapped love interest. Grade: C+.

Goldstone (out Jul 7) has a few small weaknesses but it’s still an impressive feature from writer-director Ivan Sen who puts a fresh spin on a well-used Hollywood formula. It's a spin off from 2013's Mystery Road and following an indigenous detective who travels to a remote mining town in search of a missing girl. Grade: B+.

The BFG (out Jun 30) sounds like the perfect threesome on paper - the writing of Roald Dahl, the direction of Steven Spielberg and the acting of Mark Rylance. The finished product isn’t quite as magical as you might expect. Spielberg has created a fascinating world and filled it with not-so-fascinating characters. Watchable, not memorable. Grade: B.

The Wait (out Jun 30) is an Italian drama centred on a young woman who spends a few days with her boyfriend's mother while waiting for him to arrive for an Easter family get-together. The film has a key hook that's impossible to believe and it taints almost every scene. Grade: C.

Central Intelligence (out Jun 30) pairs up Kevin Hart and Dwayne Johnson in a silly buddy comedy that that feels low on ideas. Some jokes do hit the mark. Hart and Johnson argue back and forth and there’s the occasional barb or unexpected comment that will leave you chuckling. Unfortunately, these two actors can’t save a script so poorly conceived. Grade: C+.

Ice Age: Collision Course (out Jun 23) is the 5th installment in this long-running franchise and it's possibly the weakest. The injection of new characters does little to save a dull storyline involving an asteroid that is about to strike Earth. Grade: C.
