Tina Fey has gotten more than a little mileage out of “Mean Girls”: Two movies, a Broadway musical and who knows what else is possible. In the latest take, she adds new lines and a slightly new focus. But it’s still about the girls who rule high school.
When “The Marvels” turns up on DVD, it’ll feel right at home. The latest superhero film resembles a TV show. The special effects are fairly simple, the plot is right out of an afterschool special and the acting is, well, cable-level at best.
Movie critic Bruce Miller of the Sioux City Journal offers his thoughts on the latest movies.
