Hi kids, do you like violence? “Boy Kills World” is a bloody action thriller revenge comedy built for hyperactive, video game addled 12-year-old boys who think that blood and punching and Uzis spraying bullets while being held sideways are so, so awesome and the pinnacle of this thing we call life. Maybe some of them will see this movie and have all their beliefs reaffirmed.

If fears about “the bomb” permeated life in the mid-20th century, the video game “Fallout” takes that premise to its worst conclusion. In a post-nuclear wasteland, some survivors have been recreating their 1950s-era idyll underground in elaborate bomb shelters called vaults. Those less lucky have been eking out a life on the surface, where it is dusty and brutal, and nasty oddities abound in the form of ghouls, who exist in a liminal space between human and zombie. How the hell did we get here? The Amazon TV adaptation explains by toggling between two timelines: Los Angeles of 2077 and what remains of the place a couple of centuries into the future.

Comically Serious “X-Men ’97” has just finished its seventh episode as of this writing, and is on its way to the three-part finale over the next three weeks. The show was subject to a lot of hype, hype that the show has lived up to and then some.

The Ponca City RecPlex has had great success and offered wonderful opportunities of entertainment for the Ponca City community with their Family Activity Nights, or F.A.N., in the past seven months. While normally the pool, climbing wall, and trampolines close early on the weekends, for the F.A.N. events they stay open and available to the public. On top of those activities, they also offer skating and inflatables in the gym.

Guy Ritchie’s latest, the cumbersomely titled “The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare” is at once his “Inglourious Basterds” and also his “Dunkirk.” With his adaptation of the nonfiction book “Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare: How Churchill’s Secret Warriors Set Europe Ablaze and Gave Birth to Modern Black Ops” by historian and war reporter Damien Lewis, Ritchie borrows Quentin Tarantino’s winking post-modern retro style to pay homage to reallife British war heroes with the same reverence that Christopher Nolan paid to the heroes of Dunkirk.

In what is certainly an original debut, the trailer for the new animated Transformers film titled “Transformers One” premiered in space. Yes, that space.
