As predicted last week, "Jurassic World: Dominion" did gangbusters at the box office but failed to wow critics, our own Bruce Miller especially.
The summer blockbuster season continues to heat up though, with Toy Story prequel "Lightyear." And "Top Gun: Maverick" looks to maintain a steady cruising altitude and (we predict) might even reclaim the top spot from the dinosaurs in short order.
If leaving the house is unappealing, there's a long list of interesting movies hitting streaming services including a romcom re-tread, "Father of the Bride" (HBO Max; June 16), a festival darling, "Cha Cha Real Smooth" (Apple TV+ June 17), British sex comedy, "Good Luck to You, Leo Grande" (Hulu; June 17), and a flashy George Saunders sci-fi action adaptation of "Spiderhead" (Netflix; June 17) from the director of "Top Gun: Maverick."
Streamed & Screened is a podcast about movies and TV hosted by Bruce Miller, an entertainment reporter for multiple decades who is now the editor of the Sioux City Journal, Jared McNett, a reporter for the Sioux City Journal, and Chris Lay, the podcast operations manager for Lee Enterprises.
