Celebrate the holiday weekend at the movies! The Film Yap’s Christopher Lloyd runs down the list of “what’s playing!”Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales

Johnny Depp returns as the woozy pirate Jack Sparrow in another special effects romp that’s a lot of fun, so long as you don’t stop to think about how all the parts make this pile of claptrap go.”

Baywatch

Citizen Jane: Battle for the City

This documentary looks at Jane Jacobs, a New York City writer and activist who fought against urban planning in the 1960s.”

Buena Vista Social Club: Adios

This follow-up to Wim Wenders’ seminal 1999 documentary revisits Cuban musicians repressed under the Castro regime.”

Get Out

This combination horror spoof/social commentary has a young black man disturbed by the creepy white culture of his girlfriend’s folks. Stream It.”
