NEW HAVEN, Conn. (WTNH) – When I was a kid, “wild robot” meant “gigantor.”

Unfortunately, “The Wild Robot” is Rox, who is shipwrecked on an island and befriends a gosling. And I don’t mean Ryan!

‘Transformers One’ and ‘The Featherweight’

Brightbill becomes Roz’s de facto son, and the DreamWorks animated film is all about heartache.

Yale graduate Lupita Nyong’o voices Roz, and even Mark Hamill has an appearance here, who knows a thing or two about bots.

A lot of money will be made.

Francis Ford Coppola’s “Megaloplis” finally arrives this weekend, after decades in development. I read about it in the 90s.

In theaters: ‘Speak No Evil’ and ‘The Killer’s Game’

It took so long for the always brilliant Adam Driver to take the lead, as an architect who clashes with a corrupt mayor over how to rebuild the metropolis of new Rome.

Hugely ambitious, but that’s Coppola. Great cast, including Dustin Hoffman, Laurence Fishbourne and Aubrey Plaza.

Plaza also stars in “My Old Ass,” an indie comedy with a setup that is a gem. Plaza meets her younger self and warns her about a man she will meet and should avoid.

Don’t we all have one of those? And will she? Probably not.
