Director Bobby Farrelly incorporates some of the same breezy comic ingredients of his earlier classics “Dumb And Dumber” and “Kingpin” and has strong comic camaraderie between all 4 of the kids but film’s comic momentum slows a little in the final third. Former teen stars Alyssa Milano and Molly Shannon are both well-cast in funny supporting roleshttps://dlepik.com/2026/06/07/seven-snipers-1-2-out-of-four-was-a-leaden-action-melodrama-that-fires-all-blanks-about-a-retired-sniper-radha-mitchell-in-hiding-on-an-australian-ranch-who-has-to-come-out-of-r/dlepikcomen2026-06-07T11:55:47+00:00“Seven Snipers” (*1/2 out of four) was a leaden action melodrama that fires all blanks about a retired sniper (Radha Mitchell) in hiding on an Australian ranch who has to come out of retirement and reunite her killer elite squad (Ioan Gruffudd, Ryan Kwanten, and others) when a warlord (Tim Roth) threatens her life and abducts her daughter. Australian scenery is a highlight throughout but don’t do much to enliven the meandering and molasses proceedings. Roth is sorely wasted in his umpteenth role as a villain; if his career trajectory continues like this, he really might have no choice but to hold up coffee shops.https://dlepik.com/2026/06/07/hard-piecez-1-2-out-of-four-was-a-hard-watch-about-an-ex-con-richard-hatfield-released-from-prison-after-15-years-trying-to-start-over-again-and-rebuild-a-relationship-with-his/dlepikcomen2026-06-07T11:54:33+00:00“Hard Piecez” (*1/2 out of four) was a hard watch about an ex-con (Richard Hatfield) released from prison after 15 years trying to start over again and rebuild a relationship with his daughter (Leonisha Campbell) and a new woman (Ashley Williams) but finds that leaving the streets behind is harder than he expected. Grimy story tries to mix hardcore violence with sociopolitical commentary with minimalist results. Hatfield’s sincere performance is film’s sole-saving grace.https://dlepik.com/2026/06/07/masters-of-the-universe-out-of-four-was-a-visually-extraordinary-adaptation-of-the-classic-television-series-about-a-young-man-nicholas-gallitzine-who-uncovers-his-secret-leg/dlepikcomen2026-06-07T11:54:05+00:00“Masters Of The Universe” (*** out of four) was a visually extraordinary adaptation of the classic television series about a young man (Nicholas Gallitzine) who uncovers his secret legacy as the prince of an alien galaxy and must journey there to regain a lost sword and has to do battle with the evil Skeletor (Jared Leto). Overlong and has a few lulls here-and-there but razzle-dazzle visual effects and spectacular action scenes take center stage here and give you (and especially He Man fans) more than their money’s worth. Idris Elba is strong as usual as Duncan and Dolph Lundgren has an amusing cameo at the beginning
