Your Weekend Movie Guide for July 2017

In this scene from 1958's "The Blob," movie goers scramble to escape their local theater.   Is it because of a monster?   Or maybe the "healthfully air conditioned" machine broke down?

Frankly, in the hot days of July, any movie theater is good for a cool escape.   And that's regardless of what's playing.   You know the monthly drill, gang.   I will zip through the movie pages of the LA Times and give you my knee-jerk reaction to what's populating our cinemas.

As bad as the fare may be on the screen, just remember that it's "kool inside."
